Thinking about running my truck as a drift setup...
 
After I swap in the V8 of course. I want some bitchin WORK wheels, but they don't offer them in a GM pattern, do they? I guess I could just have them welded and re-drilled right? I want them to be at least 12" wide in the rear, but I want to stretch on a 225- is that possible? Also, what color clashes the most with bright purple? I plan on painting the wheels bright ass purple and want the body of the truck to just "pop" against that color. And if I put certain manufacturer's decals on it, would they sponsor me despite my abilities (or lack thereof)?

Thanks guise!!! :awesome:


I can't wait to do some mad tyte drifting yo!!!

This isnt a truck forum. But good luck.

Yeah, but other forums suck and will probably make fun of me for wanting to build a unique drift vehicle, and I really don't want my feelings hurt.

You're at the wrong boarder, son

I would try saving some money so you can move out of your mommies house before your 35th birthday.

Of course you'd have to keep from injuring yourself long enough to become proficient at a career. ;)

I know!!! Aren't those mexi-trucks teh awesome!!!... oh wait, no they're not.




Also, to be perfectly honest, I think a LS1 swapped 1st gen S10 would make a neat drift truck.

HD4000 would approve of Drift truck.

1RevvinFC3S 07-13-10 06:24 PM

Honestly- how many trucks does one see on drift circuits? I think it would be absolutely hilarious and badass to have all the hardcore drift-tards (no offense) get all huffy over a truck.

I have seen an SR20DET powered Hardbody drifting its ass off at VIR. It had stacks, not gonna lie, I liked it.

killalot13601 07-13-10 06:29 PM

Dubstep aside. I have seen more then 1 drift truck in my day. No one gets all huffy over them.

1RevvinFC3S 07-13-10 06:32 PM

Well that kinda takes SOME of the fun out of the concept :lol:

Also, flat black w/ anodized purple WORK VS-XX's would look pretty fucking crazy.

NoPistons! 07-14-10 04:41 AM

Well shit, dont ask us, just do it.

I think I know who you're talking about and if he's who I think, he's a member of LS1Tech and now rocks a 3rd gen F-Body.

This guy?

< explorer drift project after 7 is on the road , 4.6 5speed 9 inch rear . great control in drift but not enough power to keep them burning , plus the sterio makes a hopping effect when sideways

Gay.

There was a local guy up here drifting a 900hp drag El Camino and we all laughed at him.

RXILVER7 07-22-10 09:02 AM

Look up Turbo Dave. He's been drifting trucks for a while

So that's the truck that plumber I met was talking about. I worked with the dude that did all his welding on a job here in NJ.
