drifters

I have a 88 turbo with a rollcage, hks intake, 4" exhaust, hks springs, ceramic clutch, lsd, sparco seat w/ harnesses. I live in Japan and I just recently purchased the car. I plan to drift it. If any of the experienced drifters or tuners can give me any pointers or advice. I'm looking at what mods to put on or any thing that will help me in my quest for sideways glory.

i think he is talking about his outlet diameter which is usually larger than the actual exhaust diameter but it sounded funny to say it.

There are some guys who run 4" exhausts. From what I remember Steve Kan saying, you need 4" for anything over 550rwhp or so. But then again I've had 2 hours sleep in the last 36 hours.

With drifting you need the front to grip so you can steer the thing, lsd rear diff is a big help it can work with open diif but you will find that you can drift left turns way better or vise versa, adjustable rear strut/shocks really help because you need the car really stiff in the rear so you can slide all over but if its a daily driver you will rattle everything to death and your spine, your e brake must be tightend and locks up well. You have to put your seat in almost a 90 degree position so you can manhandle the car. Don't learn on the public roads go to a parking lot.
most of all have fun
