Not what I was expecting for your video (I was thinking it would be more like Jesse Budano's S14 vid) but definitely awesome. I would also like to see some update pics

 

Thanks for posting the vid, I was just about to do it! Haha

Ohh wow I haven't updated this thread. But yah I hit up horse thief mile this weekend. My first time drifting at htm. The car held up great and didn't even come close to overheating. I'll get some pics once my friend sends them to me.

 

You lucky bastard, being able to chill and drift with TWO Formula D drivers. Love Matt's S14, he's an amazingly talented driver.

 

Awesome vid! care to enlighten us as to how exactly your bumper got owned?

 

how much did it cost for a day at willow springs?

 

It was probably around 100 bucks for HTM, last I remember

 

Love your car man.... thinking of spraying my teams name on my tires too! (^_^) also the video's are awsome, keep it up sir!

 

After coming out of the hairpin turn at the top of the hill there is a downhill section where you transition into a left hander. That transition is pretty long and it being my first time I was struggling with it all day. It Usually leads to long ebraking, I ebraked into it after transitioning and let go with out putting power down. The car whipped the other direction into a rut. There's a lesson I learned for sure haha.


It was $105 with JustDrift Crew, super fun!


Some from EverythingDrift:

 

what tire size are you running f/r on the Crown Vics?

 

205/50/16 front

225/45/16 rear
205/55/16 rear

The difference between the rears was almost unnoticeable. So I was able to keep it pretty consistent after swapping spares.

 

good to know, thanks for the quick reply, awesome driving btw!

with the 205/50 in front and with the 5mm spacer to clear the brakes, can I get away with a roll + camber? Trying to get away with not attempting to cut/pull the front fenders.

 

Sure no problem and yes, you should be just fine with a roll.

 

that is a pure amazing car ma man!

 

yo mac did you notice a huge difference, performance-wise, between 16x7's, 17,9's, and 18's? like how much harder was it to slide between all of them?

 

Did out ever have any overheating issues while running the stock top mount and a NA hood?

Also you are still on then NA drivetrain correct? Scared of snapping stub shafts?

 

Not really, based on when I was n/a. 16s and 17s are easy to spin in the dry. 18s are pretty difficult and are more fun in the rain. But now everything feels the same with boost lol.


Nope no overheating issues but the air going into my motor is definitely hotter than what it should be. I don't recommend it. Yes I am still rocking the n/a drivetrain and no not really worried about it. My skinny tires lose traction before I put any crazy strain on the drivetrain. Biggest I'm probably going to run on n/a drivetrain is 235s.

 

What havnt you changed the Hood or the Intercooler. You know its not good, why not fix it. I love the car but that problem really bothers me for some reason.

Plus FMIC's Look really nice

 

hahaha cool.. i'm just trying to decide if i'm going to keep these crown vics or trade up to some 17's.. thanks
