yes i agree with that..but cost money...so if you dont have it..its not to much fun watching them lay in your garage....
but believe it or not blowing money and fixing your car can be fun..expecally when a friend helps so when you get mad you yell at him instead of throw things at the car

Vosko, that's %100 completely inaccurate, FD's are even worse candidates than FC's (beleive it or not). Both cars are setup for superior road holding and grip driving as that's supposed to be the purpose of a real sports car. The 240sx and AE86 (Corolla GTS) don't have the same level of development so they won't grip nearly as hard. Ofcourse you can setup any RX-7 to be a drift car with severe modifications due to it's high power potential, but in or near it's stock form, It's not a good candidate at all unless you possess extraordinary skill. Unless you plan on spending some serious money (maybe not a problem for you
) to turn your car into an able drifter, I wouldn't plan on doing it in anything more than for fun. I only say this because if you get into some competitive events (Like drift events) where there's concrete barriers and what not, there's a serious chance you could total your FD. Just look at Calvin's car and keep in mind he was pretty experienced...

Does anyone think the stock steering wheel is too heavy for drifting? I have gotten the car sideways, and just have issues getting the thing to turn. Maybe I have poor hand over hand technique, or Im just a tall bastard whos knees are chaffing the wheel too much, but it still feels heavy in any event.

Here...see below video link, Calvin starts drifting again in his black 240sx.
Click on either the Hi-res or Low-res button of the NFSU Media Drift event to see the video.

I wonder why Calvin ever attempted drifting his RX-7 if he had a 240sx...Also, what's with Alex plugging that video game, is he sponsored or something? haha

oh and if you do it at about 45mph, you'll slide backwards a bit hehe (im currently trying to connect a 180 turn with a 180 foward/backwards turn to do rolling 360's going foward).
