FB RX7 Drift Car Setups
 

I know there are more people than me and 82transam running FB drift cars. I would love to hear what everyone is doing for setup/mods.

These are my specs (I do have a V8)

450lb Front Springs
300lb Rear Springs
Energy Suspension Poly Bushings
195/45/15 Toyo T1R Front Tires
195/50/15 Sentury UHP Rear Tires
Caster Maxed out (7 deg?)
-3 deg Camber
Power Steering

I am currently shortening my steering arms and making them zero ackerman, moving my LCA pickups out 1" for more track width and more caster if needed, and changing the tie rods for less bumpsteer. Please let me know your thoughts

Increased Angle with shortened steering arms

No Sway Bars?

still have stock bars in, actually not hitting the front swaybar amazingly

Oh nice, I was thinking they were not in place though. Car seems to have a decent amount of roll. I should be one to speak though lol I don't run sway bars on my car ATM. Will be doing so probably after my next event.

I like the balance now but it does roll some, I could put a bigger bar or stiffer springs on but I wonder if that would give me some understeer problems. I just finished up my knuckles, I need to do a quick alignment and then some testing to see if I like it.

Nice, yea after the knuckles you might be able to get a better feel for what you need to change next.

Knuckles worked!

That thing looks pretty good, what body kit and flares? With a little work the FB is a pretty fun car to drive, super fast in transitions

Yes!

When you gonna bring that thing back out to Piedmont Drift?

April 15th! I hope. Should have new wheel set up and flares too, maybe even a cage and another seat

Haven't driven the car in a long time. Now it has 17x9s. I have extended the LCA 2" and moved the pickup to the original location. Static testing looks good
