damn guys you ppl really have some nice 7 makes motivated to work harder on getting mine

 

How do the 7's keep up in the drifting or are all the cars pretty equal?

 

They are harder to drift than any S body. Much more grip and pivot around the center vs the front wheels (on a S body).

 

thats a pretty good explanation, IMO.

i find that among myself and other drifters (in s-chassis's) of the same skill level, the FC seems to a little quicker around the track. I usually have a little less angle but the difference in speed is noticeable. I think this is because of what burtoncr said. the car pivots around the center of the car rather than the front. i seems like a more 4 wheel drifting than other s chassis's. even when i pull off the track my front tires are usually pretty gummy and feathered like I have been sliding on them. And I wasn't understeering. meanwhile, my buddies s chassis front tires look the same as when he started.

Justin what rack do you use? it looks like your full lock is increased; is it a modified rack, s13 rack or a aftermarket? -ryan

 

My car:

dude that wing is haggard nice angle though.

 

i wanta bb GARAGE wing.....or bn sports kind of wing.....

 

Original streering output :-) The wing is gone as you can see in the wet-car photo! (screwed the sideskirts during training on the track, so I took it off together with the wing).

 

i just got back from doing work all over the track today. 9 hour drift days FTW!!

thanks!
haha yeah i'm sorry about that, i'm new to the forum, well forums in general. i didn't mean to post it here.

so you can weld a limited slip dif> cause i saw somewhere that you can't. and you don't lose acceleration?

 

i dont know about welding a lsd but u dont lose traction in a straight line u gain it when your hard on it.

 

you can only weld a open diff, not a lsd cuz ther are no spider gears in an lsd diff. and it wont make you any slower.
