RX-3 for Drift?
I may be able to get my hands on a rx-3. I plan on building a pure drift car and was wondering how the setup is on the rx3? would it make sense to try and build it. Or would the FC be a lot better platform?
thanks
thanks

what do you mean by pure drift car and how much fabrication are you willing to do?
the FC's rear suspension does not allow for camber gain in roll, this makes for superb drifitng action

rx3 is the wrong geometry for drifting.. very wrong. ( if your going to reference monster garage and the super bee don't bother) . teh FC would be 1000x better and it's still not a great drift platform. On a basic level you want to try for a car that has a much longer wheel base to width and a goodly ammount of rear turning moment. If you look at austrailia they drift 'ute's ( similar to El camino's but modern casis design. ), even a NSX or two.. but you won't find allot of 510/Rx3/corolla type early 70's cars..
drift the FC, setup the suspension for 7kgF/5-6kgR ( rear spring rates are coing down in D1 as the 'smoke show' gets you style points as well ) gets some toe eliminators and move the battery all the way to the spare tyre well.. keep it on the center line.. this will raise your moment load in a slide.
