No, everybody who drifts an fc leaves it stock. Havent you been looking at our cars?

Drifting is a technique, not a vehicle feature.

FC is 83? Sweet, my 88 must be an FD!

Not if you have a V8. V8s make it a driftmatic. Basically V8, knuckles, win FD.

V8 can tow some sweet trailers though for tires

youll struggle with sliding your fb.

It will be easier and better if you put better suspension on it and lock the diff.

Drifting isnt cheap.

Efranegmor

So i need a drift suspension and start to practice

Daviticus

You need to learn the limits of your stock car first [they aren't very high, to be honest].

FBs are difficult to slide.

The best mod you can ever make to your car is seat time for the driver.

It will explode

Weld differential.
Smaller steering wheel.
Drift all day at 8500 rpm.
Then work on suspension stiffening,
Weight reduction, etc.

As above, time time time.

Efranegmor

joshuaput

Another fine specimen from Florida :X

aaaaaaaaaanyways.

1: take your differential to get welded (probably your biggest set back)

2: buy the stiffest lowering springs you can find.

3: = drift machine

ps: also look into replacing the stock school bus steering wheel.

I've been drifting in my FB . I have realized in reading more about how my motor works that I will make quick work of destroying it without putting in a windage tray. Also the Racing Beat Holley carb i have is not optimal for the drift at all. It's like a lot of these kids here say it's about seat time learning how to make your car do what you want. Ground Control has some sweet parts for suspension for the FB and Suspension Techniques Sway Bars ore great too. Mine has LSD which works pretty well but a welded diff is more optimal

Adam12A

Check THMotorsports.com for some of those parts

Valkyrie

Any rear-wheel drive car (meaning not a van/truck/bus) can be drifted, but to do it well you need at the very least a racing seat (and harness, really), a mechanical LSD (viscous doesn't count) or locked diff, and a tuned suspension.

If you drift without these things, don't kid yourself...you're just powersliding.

Adam12A

You say you can't drift a truck ? And you have to have a racing seat ???Really

Adam12A

Here's a good one, maybe turbo but I can't here the blow off 1st gen drifter

Valkyrie

If you want to do it well you have to have a racing seat. It is physically impossible to precisely control a car without one. If you think you can, you are kidding yourself, Takumi.

Also, what I mean is that anything rollover prone is not a good idea to drift. You could drift a semi truck if you wanted to; doesn't mean it's a good idea.

That FB was tii swapped if I remember correctly. I think his name was Adam, Had some pretty good coverage of him in this years ago.

flight_of_pain

GC style front coil over conversion with 400# springs, 250# rear springs (5.5in dia oval track stuff), shimmed gsl LSD, and a healthy motor. That is all you need mechanically, then seat time, seat time, seat time.
