If I get the FB done in time Im thinking of entering a compition. I think FBs would make pretty good drift cars

 

where are you in VA? i live in Greensboro, NC once my car gets running i'm gonna learn how to drift. i'm almost done with a TII swap into my GSL-SE, if you're close we could meet up sometime and hang out.

well i just got a new ps2 game "road rage 3" wich is a fairly good (say70%) GT3 look-alike

except its a drifting comp set on the mountains of tokyo and districts

anyhow

ive found that a SA is a realy good drift car

i havent drove a FB (dont think its there)

but if one is i think all three mazs might

 

i entered drifting events with my FB. then it liked it so much that tried drifting all by itself on the highway and i ended up ramming the concrete divider.



sometime this week ima go take a look at another FB, i want FBs to represent at next years events...

 

hey--have you guys done the 1st gen open to lsd conversion or are you drifting on an open diff? i was thinking about doing the conversion into my 82 but didn't know how hard it would be. if you know anything, let me know...



thanks

hey Kurt, All my 7's have limited slip's and they are a fairly important component to have when trying to drift. that said, the best way to have honda drifters laughing at you is to show up at a drift track with a one-legger



1) buy an LSD pumpkin (must be from same series, no S3 into S2)

2) jack up rear of car

3) drain gear oil

4) remove rear wheels, calipers/perch's/rotors

5) remove axles (remove 4 nuts/bolts on a drum car, may need slide hammer if bearings are stubborn

6) remove driveshaft

7) remove suspension linkage

8) remove all the bolts and ppull out the one legger

9) install LSD and reverse process

10)be sure to use a Limited Slip additive with your new LSD to prevent chatterng and premature wear.

11) find an empty parking lot and make an *** of yourself!



please feel free to add anything i missed.....

 

other than that, is that it is possible to drift with an open diff. just like its possible to drift FF cars.



ill need to remember that write up when i decide to rebuild my diff. its not really LSDing any more...

 

Lecan91, sounds good I think they do some drifting events in Richmond and a summit point WVA. I should be done with my car by spring I hope. still have more parts to buy. We should get a whole bunch of RXs up to a event and show those Nissans whats up
