Anyone have their ti set up to drift???

[TORJTHM]

any one set up to drift??? want to set my ti up for drifting and cornering, but the suspention that is on right now is just lowering springs thats all ... so i still have mass body roll and suspension is way soft for drifting, can any one tell me what a good set up is for it and how much power you have ??

wats the problem with drifting... wat pissed off cause you cant do it or something ... its not as easy as most think... to put a car into a sideways slide at 80mph and be able to go from a left turn slide to a right turn slid with out oversteering is not all that easy

[HuGo]

you went to go see tokyo drift didnt you..

[TORJTHM]

OMG dont get me started a bout that movie so denounced drifting ....

[HuGo]

you saw the movie, and now you want to drift...



(as of right now, 11:45, i here come cars racing behind my house, hehe)

Umm ithe ti can't drift unless you have a S/C or a 6cylinder swap. Not enough hp on the 4 banger to drift.

[TORJTHM]

actually not true i drift mine as is its just not all that great... plus my buddy drifts his corolla and it has 90 hp to the wheels, it all depends on what style of drifting you use and your weight, right now i am trying to cut weight but i dont know if i want to lose my back seat or not
plus i dont think that the 6 swap would work to well to much weight in the front and wont beable to control rear end

Please post a video of a stock ti drifting on dry pavement. This i have to see.

Drift in a FWD car?

[TORJTHM]

you cant drift a FDW... he has a 86 ... its rwd... plus like i was saying i can drift but not that well ... at the moment its only a "speed difter" ... thats why i want a better set up to kinda even it out more towards the power dift side

The Fast and the Furious 4: Arabia Drift.. haha joke , but that kid got skills.


But i remember a member here post a video of them doing Donuts, so if a ti can do donuts , drifting is possible.

It may be possible to "drift" w/ a ti on a slick surface, or one covered w/ gravel (it was an accident), but i've actually been drifting in an M5, and tried to drift in an e36 M3, and it didnt work even with tracktion control off, so you have to understand, our cars will not do it on a regular surface easilly.

Just my two cents

[tonyyy]

i'm new to this forum, and my ti,

but i used to be big into the drifting scene about 3 years ago, with a bunch of my friends from vegasdrift.com...

aaaanyways, i would suggest power adders to come later on, get some coilovers, a 1.5 way LSD, or 2 way if you wana get hardcore. to start out with.

and use the power of the 4cyl

*sorry to hear about the hachi, scary **** up in the mountains
