ive been drifting a way underpowered miata all this season and it was serious fun gotta love keeping it on the floor. just curious how it is in the fc?

 

im building a na drifter to learn......just cuz im too young and poor to afford a turbo

 

Start na and stock angle. Add hp and angle after you mod the driver.

 

My fc is NA. I honestly dont have much of a problem drifting. The big thing is just keeping the speed going....i seem to have alittle problem making alot of smoke though lol

 

+1 the best first mod you should make to your car is the nut hold ing on the steering wheel.

I drifted an na fc about four years ago. If you practice shifing the weight at speed you should do ok.

 

yea i planed on driving na all of next season to get a feel for the car and everything and then go SR for the season after that

 

So you're gonna learn the car with a na 13b, then swap in a SR and totally **** up how the car performs compared to the na motor. It appears you need to learn basic thinking skills first.

 

SR's are for S series chassis get an s13 if your gonna do that.

 

[fanboy]But the SR is the best engine in the world zomg!!1!1[/fanboy]

 

thats the plan...i have no desire to run a rotary...just for next season because its gonna be a cheap way to get in running. sorry if you dont agree but its not your car

 

Do you hang out with the DriftSTL guys or anyone from Adrenaline?

 

yea i hang out with the driftstl guys

 

does is count as drifting na if my intercooler pipes blow apart?

if it does then, yea. Im all about it

 

drifting n/a is fine if you wanna practice how to clutch kick 10 times mid drift..

 

If the FB counts I will raise my hand, if not then no.

 

#1 georgia doesn't suck. It's snowing here, and I'd put money on it not snowing there right now, therefore it doesn't suck.

#2 FB's count for sure. They're super easy to drift, especially with the front swaybar disconnected and a rear LSD... But even with an open diff you can have some funs.

 

RedR1 had me put that as my title one day I am not sure why to this day.

 

FB is really easy to drift in. If you want to drift FC, go with more power, and less weight. Just taking off the Air Conditioner is 100lbs

 

72 actually.

 

hey im drifting my car this Nov. 22 and my car is also N/A!!...hehe

I took out the rear sway bar with a welded and power by max coilover!!..
This is my first time drifting a Rx-7 so lets see how i do ....

You guys think thats all the mods i need to drift it?

(also i have modified front spindles by mounting the tie rod closer to the pivoting point and a rear camber arm!!!...AND i took out all the AC stufff!!)

lmk

 

did u get ur toe iin/ot tierods aligned after installing tie rod spacers? If not do it asap, youll waste your tires.

NA is easy if you have small/stock wheels and tires and clutch lsd.. My friend just bought a na fc for $300 running and I thought it had open diff. I feint clutch kicked and it kicked out and clutch kicked one more time and full locked and majid the rest. I was suprised how easy na with the stock wheels are to wheel spin. I went back to that spot the next day and the tire marks are solid for like 150ft. lol I would have kept going , but there was alot of d1 smoke [because tire smoke and coolant smoke] LOl it appeared to be d1 smoke..scared the ppl were guna call the cops hehe

I had NA love that day.. clutch kickinnafter another sure is hella fun

 

mod'd spindles are unnecessary at your level

 

been drifting my na since last year. drifting NA= keep it pinned.

 

I've been driving NA for a few seasons now... it's not bad at all, you just end up learning a lot of "tricks" to get the car to do what you want.

 

it's kinda like to see the looks people give u when u can keep up with sr powered 240's in tandem. number one, where I'm from people don't give rotaries much respect, much less if your NA. at an event here in NC i acutally had people cheering when i blew a tire- they thought it was my motor. when they came over to laugh at it and figured out that i didn't blow it they got all pissed off.

idiots.
