So I am going to an all cone course next weekend to try my hand at drifting. Right now my FD is set up of road course suspension wise and I was looking for some input on what to adjust.

CAR: JDM 1992 FD3S

Setup:

Stock turbos with PFC and intakes etc

Now the important:

Cusco Zero coilovers 5-way

Cusco front strut bar, Cusco Rear three point strut bar, Cusco Floor harness bar.

I'm on the stock diff (Which I believe was still a torsen in Japan.) Please let me know if I'm wrong it's hard to find the specs for the 1992 FD I have.


Rims: Stock

Tires: whatever i can grab cheap before hand....


Thank you ahead of time.

 

Don't change anything, keep the car as you know. Just play with the rear tyres pressure. Try with something high for the beginning, then lower it to gain speed and traction.

Maybe, if you really want to change something... toe out in front. And if you see the front bouncing, you know you can set a bit more stiff.


For my first try I was with 42psi rear tyre pressure. As I was more comfortable than expected, I came back to ~ 30 psi.

 

with the stock twins, you are going to want to stay on the gas. if u have to let off..do it only for a split second and get right back on it. i liked my susp set to a harder setting. some say its easier to drift without the rear strut bar...so if u want to take that off a bit later u can try that also.

 

Thanks for the advice guys I got a couple extra sets of rear wheel and tires mounted up and ready to go and have spent all week giving the car a tune up....hopefully it survives the day. I would like to get at least a couple of events under me before the motor finally goes lol.
