How do you guys find the FC for drifting?

Hey Guys,

Im currently building a rx323 but after going with my mate in his 416kw atw S13 yesterday, i want a drift car!! I wanna build something with a rotary and was thinking about doing a FC.
I was talking with a guy yesterday who was drifting his FC and he reckons its the hardest car he's ever drifted and his car has alot of custom work because of the way the rear end is set up.

I just wanna know how you guys find your FC's for drifting and whether or not you've found any problems with having to set the car up??

Try the drifting section, they are full of mixed opinions of the FC as a drift car.

Works fine. It's not easy, and it'll teach you how to drive. Get a stock angle stock NA car, and learn to drift that. It'll make a man out of you.

Anyways, there are many great FC drifters.
It just takes time to learn and progress.
Make sure it looks cool first, THEN go for power and crap like that.
Nobody wants to see UGLY cars drifting.

Hahaha no way! I hope to have a field of upside down, shat on FCs one day. I've hit my red car like 5 or 6 times already. Drift cars are not a museum piece.

I'm willing to bet more FCs have seen the crusher thanks to people who can't cope with the black magic that is the wankel than all racing and drifting crashes combined.

but hey, it's just a car, and **** happens.

Nah, everyone just has a butt frenzy for "mad max" style cars. Basically cars that are on the brink of falling apart with a **** load of stickers and big rims. I guess taking a car straight from the junkyard to a show is a big hit over there in CA.


FC's aren't hard to drift if its what your use to. It's just hard for people to jump from 240's to anything rotary because of the different powerband.
