i tried to slide my n/a fc but there was simply not enough power, unless i run like 5 inch wide tires in the rear..

 

more clutch kick! and faster entry speeds

 

Even on stock suspension I could get it out on 195 and 205s n/a.

 

For a small while I street drifted my n/a car on 225/45-17 BFG SuperSports with retarded camber and a welded diff. I bet the actual contact patch was less than 185mm wide. For some reason though my car is down on power, it struggles on flat ground on the freeway, and hills are near impossible in 4th. Gets 22mpg, starts every morning, and isn't mine anymore, so I won't complain.

 

I think I might dial in some rear camber on the track next event.

 

Here's a comparison of before and after the dtss. First vid is with dtss and open diff, kyb agxs and tanabe gf210s. This is old footage btw. engine has a blitz intake and a RB road race exhaust (The one that keeps the rotors seperate to each muffler)

The next vid is with the MMR DTSS bushings in the rear everything else the same minus the rear sway bar. (the car now has a rear sway bar once again) I've tried no rear, no front, and no bars. Best is with both bars and heim joint end links which I have now. The rear bar is a RB one the front is factory

Both videos I used the same lame technique as all noobs to better show the differences, slow approach in 1st gear to the corner, rev clutch drop and full throttle. I tried to be as consistent as possible. These runs were all back to back with no rest period I just edited the car turning around out


Here's a newer vid of the car pretty much the same as above. Still open diff I believe. It's mostly me spining at about 90+ mph. Car sucked and was uncooperative still. Just out burning tires and still had fun even though the car sucked

A much newer video. The car has a T2 diff, streetported engine all rebuilt, some used unknown Tein coilovers, MMR stuff: diff bushings, subframe bushings, front control arm bushings, shifter bushing. camber is only at like 1.8 degrees or so in front and .7 I think it was in the rear 33 psi rear tire pressure, no ps, aligned correctly, poly swaybar bushings, and whatever else I don't even know what alls done at this point. 16x8 +12 offset front wheels, assorted rear wheels lol

Then I crashed the car into a semi trailer anti-intrusion guard at about 15mph coming out of a drift. The car got bashed up pretty good. Fixed the front end it's fine now. New editions are mazdatrix inner tie rod spacers , MOAR camber (Still not measured and realigned) working on a new power steering rig as the factory stuff makes me want to puke its so big and ridiculous, It'll be over boosted for minimal steering effort, then modded knuckles soon. The car feels good right now but has not been back to the track in a while It has plenty of hp and in that last video it's hardly slower than that toyota chaser in a straight line. Actually it's hardly slower than modified turbo rx7s now. Less torque of course. Everythign is still NA, the car is completely gutted but like I said power steering will be goin back on due to lack of steering return from lock to lock. Well it returns just too slow. The car is also repainted now. and has a cracked windshield from a hail storm.....fun stuff......this car sucks LOL!

 

Oh yeah I almost forgot.....soon to be on megasquirt and retuned so I can not have AFRs at 10:1 and worse over 6000rpm on a NA car. Mazda sucks at tuning cars apparently.

I also don't have a airpump or ACV or any other factory junk on the engine. Might be why it's so rich I don't know but the factory ECU is junk so it's going in the used ECU box in my office or something.

It's nothing crazy but for my na I was proud of myself and it.

 

Damn thats driting !

 

I have an s4 n/a and im not planing on boosting it any time soon jajaja i really like it that way it pulls your ability to drift to the edge and you get to know the car better... what im planning is on doing a semi-peripheral>>large street port build soon to get a lil more power and done... like one said if ae86 can drift with the 1.6 stock why cant we Rx7N/A cannot?

 

There's this little douche in our engines called Torque that likes to skip class with his buddy Powerband. Without those two little *******, N/A cats are screwed.

 

Meh.

 

My car has a power band...its from like 6000-7200. So I just cant shift >.> or have to clutch kick like a ****.

 

lol

 

Stock angle and an NA with a full exhaust. Give me a little credit. lol

 

lolz pretty much bone stock 87 gxl. smal weight reduction and the owner before me cut the tokito blue springs =/ but she still slides nice haha just have to force the issue

 

Ok so 2 days I finally went drifting in my NA S4 and it was fuking exhilarating. I know I sucked but I think it was fun especially for a first time.

 

i hate parking lot events. i always forget where im going haha

 

Eh 30 minutes in there is enough rubber down to remember.

 

i slide mine pretty well, no smoke or anything fancy. running 16x8 actually, straight pipe and intake, with jic coils and dtss elims and a stock t2 lsd.

 

I'm not hating I just thought the "meh" comment was funny

 

It wasn't directed at you lol.

 

Lets dig a thread up shall we. I have been drifting my stock twins fd for 2 years and i can tell you : drifting a turbo car is expensive because you always end up breaking, burning, or blowing something.

Thats why i am building a PP engine for my miata. Cheap car, cheap to fix, and a bulletproof NA 300hp engine. I hope i wont have to clutch kick like a crazy ****. With a 1800lbs car, i am pretty optimistic. Plus, throwing the car in the curve with mass transfer is one thing us NA guys can learn, and imho the best and most adrenaline giving way of drifting.

 

A PP miata (heh) should be interesting. The horsepower numbers will be good, but all the torque will be a the top end so keeping your revs up will be the most important part. You won't have the luxury of staying in boost for a like a 4k+ rpm range. Will definitely be an interesting build, and hearing it hit the limiter at over 10k rpms will be awesome.

 

Well if you haven't got torque, you should have speed. 100+mph backward entries here i come !!
I will try to make the PP as torquey as possible without killing top end. The combination of light weight, skinny tires, good speed and hand brake should do the trick.

I should get off my *** and make a build thread of it.

What about you, still drifting the gtu ?
