Nikko Circuit`s FC Drifters
Just thought I`d post up in the drift forum for the first time.
Two days ago I attended a drift event in Japan at Nikko Circuit. Out of 100 cars (80 of which were some sort of silvia) 7 of them were rx-7s. 4 of the 7`s were FC`s, the others, FD`s. I noticed two things in these guys setups that are contrary to what most people do to their cars on this forum. All of the cars were NOT running front mounts and also still had power steering. Most of them had aftermarket intercoolers, but not mounted up front where it`s nice and pretty and ready to get smashed into something. |
pics?

VMIC seems to be the way to go out there and thats probably what im gonna do. its less likely to get damaged the air dosnt have to travel as far and it stays just as cool if done right.

Increases steering feedback(much more sensitive and easier to tell whats going on), you can transition from left to right alot faster, less weight up front, there are tons of advantages. In the end it's mostly personal preference. If the car is light then manual steering is easy as pie and you barely notice it. I'll be putting p/s back on my FC (previous owner took it off) just to see what it's like.

Yes, I have a load of pics. I`ll definitely post them once I get back to the states.

ya, vmounts the shit. fmic r not great from track or drift cuz u got no cold air hitting the radiator. n w/o powersteering turning in while drifting is aparently more difficult. i have my fb n when i get sideways its not so bad but im sure its gunna b way different w/ the fc. o n those jdm guys probably still run huge wheels n tires so p/s is kinda the smart thing to do

in that silvia n 7s pic theres like one silvia but thats ok cuz the 180's r cool but nothing matches da 7! lol
|
love the no smoking sign
|
The no smoking sign was too good to pass!
Big Balls McDrifto was the absolute craziest guy on the track, and I let him know it. It's not polite in any language (ESPECIALLY JAPANESE) to approach someone and tell them that he's crazy, but I did it anyway. He understood...I wish I could post a video of him, he get's tooooo sideways. |
His car looks like it's been to hell and back.

no ps is gay.

Yeah, "baka" is definitely the word (stupid/crazy). Or "kichigai"(crazy/insane).
|
power steering is must have.. you have more driver steering input, you can counter steer faster and easier..
|
More pictures!!!
Im hoping I get to see some sick 7s once I get go to Japan this summer. Unfortunately I dont think Im going to make it to a track... :[ |
videos anyone?
|
Nice FD next to wrecked Silvia
