I'm sure this has been said....

1. MUST have an LSD prefer Kazz 2-way or a Tomei
2.GOOD coilovers, Stance, Silkroads, ect
3. TOUGH *** clutch
IMO this is the basics to get started... The better diff and coils will make the car more predictable when you kick it out and easier to learn to control slide.

clutch because your going to be SERIOUSLY abusing it.

I have found a good teqnique for the FC is "Faint" drifting.

 

So cheap wheels for the rear. Need suggestions since stockies dont really offer that much traction it seems (from what people are posting). Im looking at like MB Wheels, Stock S14s and GTR wheels. Looking for a 16 or 17 inch. Probably a 7 or 8 inch with. Preferably a good offset that won't have to be spaced out like FD wheels.

 

R32 wheels are, or well used to be really cheap.

 

The GT-ST wheels arent bad but 16x7 but the GT-R wheel carry a nice price.

 

dude your ******* NA you cant have grip . run ******* 5 inch wide rims if you can. all these guys saying you need grip in an na rx7 are retarded as ****, ya worry about grip when you are running 300 plus horse power then start running some 17 or 18 10 inch wide 275s and you can have grip. i drifted a a turbo fc all last year on 215 45 17s stretched on a 9 inch rim and that was still too much grip for a slightly modid turbo fc..

 

Where is your TurboFC? I never got to see you run last year.

 

who?

 

Noted.

 

I read this once and thought to say something but read it again..... Yeah with NA don't put a whole lot of emphasis on grip. It really depends on the surface you are driving on and how fast you are drifting. since these types of questions are being asked Grip is gonna make it harder for you now.

When you get the basics down or you start spinning alot up your tire choice to a better tire. You need to think about a good tire for the front as well you need to keep a decent balance between the two.

I do think 215's on a turbo fc is too small but again it depends on what surface and tire you are using. I use a 235 40 on 9 inch rim. I could go up a bigger size tire but I can do pretty much whatever I want by changing the tire. Normally use st115s in rear and S03 in the front sometimes use 203's all the way around. I make about 370rwhp

 

While looking at S14 wheels I had the thought of running my stock 15s with 195 Kuhmo Ecstas then the 16x7 S14 wheels in the back with some federals or some cheap tires probably 205s. Any thoughts?

 

Kinch, if your 5 lug, I got 4 BBS verts with center caps and cap wrench. Great shape Nitto NT450's on them. The **** I had on mine last month. Ill let all 4 go with the tires FOR YOU for 350 delivered (when we do your coils and DTSS this weekend.) hahaha

 

DUDE! I'm in! I'll bring cash!

 

Hahaha SWEET!!!! THese things are UBER light and ya wont have an issue getting them broke loose. Im just gonna get 6 new Sumitomo HTR's or some SUNNY tires. **** 60 bux a pop and I got an extra set of my Rota D2's. I can rock 2 practice events with them.

 

Nice!

Dude, Im actually going to a drift camp up in reading. It's on October 12th, all day drifting. An actual track. Pros there to help you. http://www.greaterreadingautoexpo.com/ That's the link. Check it out if you want.

So about the install, wanna do it sometime saturday? Or whenever is good for you...

 

I saw that. I mite head up. Dunno yet tho. Seems like fun, but that is ALOT o miles to drive my FC up. Its not the most comfortable ride for a long trip. lol.

Ya, as long as I dont have to work Saturday, we can go put em on over my Girls house. She lives in Whitehall, right off Rt 51. start like 9 AM and hopefully get it all done by1 or 2.

 

Ok. I was actually gonna rent a trailer for mine...

Alright, I thought you worked at a garage or something and we could do it there...

 

I do, but its fleet bro. Cant work on ANYTHING but the fleet cars. I got all the tools we need to do both jobs tho.

 

Ok, I hear ya. Just PM me the address and I'll mapquest it.

I think Im gonna wait on the wheels (got a bit to excited at that offer lol), cause Im not sure how my funds are gonna be after I get the bill for the parts. But if you can hold on to them for me a bit, I could do 350-400+ or so and pick-up, Either at Beaver Run or I'll just stop by one day. Let me know.

 

though i dont normally agree with fc drifters highly opinionated answers hes definately right. if your suspension is set up right then you dont need the power to initiate. the other thing is learning how to drive. no offense not saying you cant drive but rx7s more than any other car need to be learned. becasue there driveline is so much closer in on the chassis its easier to over steer and harder to initiate in the first place. just keep working at it and get some suspension.

 

Are you done bumping old *** threads yet? It's getting ******* annoying.

 

haha good call. i thought it was just me.

 

me? im just picking up on threads. thats kinda the point of them smart one. why the **** do you care anyways? shut the **** up and dont read them if they bother you so much. better yet. DONT LOOK IN FORUMS thats what it is read and reply.
