Eyecandy, that is a huge difference in steering angle. Looks like I will be talking to you again in the near future.

Yea i have to agree, that apears to drastically change angle.

 

And on to my next question. Some people have mentioned using a steering quickener to get past the fact that some of our cars don't have power steering. What is this and where could I find one? Just trying to figure out the best solution to my problem.

Are you talking about the Spindel mod? Relocating the outer tie rod? If so, here are a few pics.

Washers seems to work for me at 80mph+ drifts.... but if you want designer parts to floss the kit is pretty cool.

 

FC works better when you have a V-8 in it.

 

secret element sells the spacers to help get the extra angle...http://secretelement.com/

 

we should have a ban against mentioning the v-8 swap in threads that have nothing to do with it.... HEIL ROTARY!!!(yes im unreasonable) irf i could i would say post deleted

 

FCs drifts better with more weight in the front and more torque at the wheels. Simply having 20-30 pounds moved to the front can make a noticeable difference, 50-100 pounds definitely will slow the rotation down.

 

its said in that kit that u might have to cut some offa the tierod up to 1cm!!!! umm ill stick to teds shimming its 100% cheaper as all i gotta use is washers!!!! HAHAHAHA and i can get just about the same amnt of angle!

 

ok forget ban.. calling hitman.. weight/torque is not the point but im sure i dont need to turn this into another thread....muhahahaha and when i can finally convince my rack to come apart i will install my drift kit

 

i got a set of spacers my friend made at a machine shop that look like thick washers and they have the same improvement when it comes to more angle.

on another note, i drift my fc and im glad i started learning on it, for one, its too crowded by nissans, and i love my mazda!

 

holy thread bump

 

familiarize yourself with this thread https://www.rx7club.com/drifting-226/official-drift-setup-thread-877465/
Most of the people that are saying that drifting a 7 is hard or not worth it most likely don't have cars setup to do it in the first place. It isn't like your typical driftomatic 240, but it is still a great car to drift. your car would be great for drifting if you go with an lsx setup and some nice bushings and coils. I personally drive an lt1 fc car that's setup for drifting and it feels far more solid than any 240 I've ever drifted, but that's just me.

As far as angle goes check out pbm. I currently have the mazdatrix super angle on my car, but it isn't enough to take advantage of the power and torque i'm making.

52 degrees of steering angle with the gtfactory kit?!?!? holy crab walk!!

i dont drift, but that is definitely remarkable!

 

What steering rack is everyone running? Power or Non Power? Aftermarket or OEM?

 

 

I got a question. Who the hell sells steering angle kits for a manual rack? I never seen them. And dont tell me to get a power steering rack because that crap is from chumps.

 

i have that same question!!!

and if not, YYY not??

 

manual rack FCs are rare, since nearly all Tiis that i know of are power steering? correct me if i'm wrong.

 

Good point on the racks being rare but still.....someone needs to make a super angle kit for manual rack FC's.

 

ok so now dumb question, how do the power rack ones work?

cause from what ive seen, it looks like it would just cause CRAZY toe out..
if i knew how they worked im might try and make some
