RX-7 Drifting?

Hey Ive been watching a lot of vids recently and a lot of drifting ones but Ive noticed, Ive NEVER seen a first gen drifting? Has anyone? I think theyd look cool sideways and thinking about it Ive never seen an old 240Z,260Z, or 280Z drift. If anyone has any vids of them gimme some links.

"Drift video of my FB"
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=drift
"New drift video"
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=drift
"Drift Video"
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=drift

in short, the search bar is amazing, welcome.

I drift mine on the track. Love every second of it.
Very capable drift car with a few slight modifications. Anway while we're on the topic, whats an easy way to increase the camber on the front of my car. I'm running neg 1 degree but would like a little bit more when i get my spacers

Camber plates or slot the tower holes towards the inside of the car.

Searching does wonders for visual pleasures... if your idea of pleasure is seeing tires get worn out far too quickly, and taking turns quite a bit slower than necessary.

It is fun as hell though.
