I was looking at strut tower bars. Are they a useful modification for drifting? Some people use them and others don't. I know having a stiff chassis is key for drifting, but then why wouldn't everyone use them? Is it just personal preference?

Looking to do my next mod, so that's why I'm asking. I've already got coilovers, so I'm either looking at strut bars, sway bars, or a seat/steering wheel. I've got an n/a FC (as most of you know). Opinions are appreciated

 

Super angle tire rods. Get the ones I got from eyecandy. Pm him here. Also look at the chassis bars on auto RnD site. Tanabe makes em. better for stiffening the chassis the the tower bars.

Or buy my TII hood!!! hahahahaha

 

i got those inner rods for sale, let me know, but i would either get those, or seat/steering wheel, both really help alot.

 

Go with a seat, you will barely notice having a strut tower bar.

 

I was thinking about those.

and how much for the hood? Cause Im gonna get one eventually...

 

Thanks for the advice.

I'm looking at F1Spec for my seat. Any suggestion, I'm kinda on a budget so I cant get like Bride or anything. But Im not gonna resort to ebay either.

 

2-WAY DIFF!

VLSD sucks dick compared to a 2way. Stop cheating yourself, unless you already have this and I failed to read it.

other than that, id say a good seat and wheel. the s. wheel helped me not smash my turn signal by moving my hands away from the dash/cluster. a seat would also be good because youll be able to focus more on your footwork/steering wheel and the road. You wont be flying all over the inside of the car and trying not to get bruises on your legs and arms

 

I have the stock clutch type, and it's working fine. A 2-way will come later. Im not up to competition level so :/

What size wheel are people using. Im looking at a 340mm Personal and a short hub.

 

well i have steering wheel adapter and low side mount seat rails/sliders for fc also, hahha

but im using 350mm omp wheel, that is dished, i like the steering wheel close to me,



really comfortable

 

Im not really a fan of the dished style. But I agree, I like having the wheel close to me too.

 

Go on ebay and get the knock off bride wheel + a good quick release


but a seat would be a number one choice if i was you.

 

Thanks, but I dont want to trust my steering wheel to ebay. :P

Any suggestion on seats, I see in your sig that you have Momos? I think.

 

You can find used Brides on ebay. Momo, chargespeed, sparco, there are a million out there.

 

how tall are you? the real only way to go , is side mount, bottom mount seats position the seat so high that you easily hit the roof with helmet.

 

Thats true, didnt think about that. How much for your hood tho (seriously)?

 

In stock seats, I fit just fine with my helmet. I'm about 5'10".

 

i understand that its still working but a real diff will up your game pretty fast. thats probably why your not up to competition level. im tellin you, that diff is holding you back

 

I understand, it's doing it's job just fine and I really dont have the funds for a two way, and I dont want to weld it just to fix in a month.

 

Megan Racing makes decent race bucket seats for $469 or so...they are carbon fibre and they come with mounts.

(most C/F seats are 1000$ +)

Get some steering angle, tie rods, and tie rod ends. 2 Way Diff, Clutch, weight reduction.

 

Its a steering wheel man. They don't snap or anything. It works fine, my friend had it in his 7, it felt the same as my Momo.(Yes I have momo seats) My friend got an ebay seat for like 200 shipped, I think its flimsy as hell. But it does keep you in secured and fine if you don't plan on entering competition level. Just don't skimp out on quick release. Megan Racing puts like a 6" extension on my wheel. Its the deep dish without the dish!

 

The Megan Racing hub looks pretty nice. I was looking at the NRGs and I wasnt sure if I needed a hub and the quick release or just the quick release.

 

get a seat bro or save your pennies and get a diff thats what you really need. i just got that exact omp wheel but ebay special with the quick release and the ebay quick release was by far the worst investment i have ever wasted my money on. i beat the **** out of it with a pry bar by the end of the night then just put the new wheel on by itself. wheel is great tho lol.

 

The seat is going to make the biggest difference at the moment, that is your best investment at this time.

 

dont get knock off wheels or quick releases. i heard one guy snapped his steering wheel's quick release countersteering in a drift. Plus the cheap steering wheels feel flimsy, and are not true.. I bought a ebay one before, and it sucks, tehn got a nardi from afriend and OMG mucho betta

 

You should only "need" a wheel and quick release if you have a cage and have trouble entering and exiting your car.
