Thinking we need a thread all about angle

I know alot of people drift the rx7 and one of the first things i noticed myself coming from a s-chassis was the horrible lack of angle on the rx7. Im really interested in starting a thread in the drift section, of all the different companies offering angle kits/modified knuckles and just general info on getting more angle on the fc... Just seeing if anyone thinks thats a good idea before trying to start one.

why would it be a bad idea?

but of course it might have been a bad idea to ask why it would be a good idea. just do a compliation thread and post it over there.

forgive the ignorance but this angle you guys speak of; is it referring to turning radius? if so why is it so bad?i mean i always that it the turning radius was pretty damn good.

I feel like Ryu Takahashi is whispering in my ear while caressing my buttocks

"Embrace the spirit of the FC RX-7with high speed zero counter drifts".

Then I notice you have an SR swapped in your FC and poof the fantasy evaporates.

But seriously, the S chassis is a better platform for drifting and has more support.

If you chose the FC to be different you could also try being different by finding your own driving style. Big angle, backward entry blah blah where does it end.

Get out there drifting waving your detached steering wheel out the window and people will take notice.

Legal disclaimer-
No, I am not serious.

So this is what we've come to, threads exploring the possibility of starting a thread in a totally different section of the forum.
Not sure if that's meta as **** or just inane.

My car has enough angle to get around almost any roadrace track (including some kart tracks). If you need more angle than that, you are scrubbing speed through the turns. Your lap time will suffer.


I hope somebody responds to this.....

Well he does now have a thread in the Drifting section where he can actually get info on getting more angle for the FC.

If anyone is interested in better parking, u turns or more angle in drifting you can look here-

the hope is still alive!!!
I thought normal built fc's where a thing of the past, now overrun with a swarm of undersized rubber band tires, mad "jdm tight" stance looks and hard parkers. With a insane lust to gut the engine bay, and swap in any engine except the one that actually came in the car.

the irony is that most people don't even go far enough to need more angle than stock provides.
