Hey, those seats I sold you look good in the FC. As to sliding, I started going out in parking lots in the rain to get a feel for how the rear would slide, then I would start counter steering and opening up the circle till i got a nice wide circle going. Rain is your friend when you don't have power, I have 105whp to the wheels, in the rain I can do it with no problem in 2nd gear, in the dry with some hard rubber on the rears and soft on the fronts.

340-360 compound is good for the rears in the dry. Give me a call and I'll take you for a spin in my car

That is once I put my car back together, new rear springs, lsd, front coilovers, camber plates, SS brake lines and fender flares(gotta cut my fenders to fit my 225/50/15's).

Also, ziptie those skirts and front dam, you will eat those up real quick if you bolt them on. I'd leave them off when you first start practicing.......looks can be expensive....ask AngryEarl

As much as I lover drifting the FC, I'm not sure I'd ever say it's a better platform. That is completely dependant on the driver. Our short wheelbase makes the car very twitchy when drifting, which is why so many people have a problem with snap-oversteer. Many complain about lack of steering angle, which is true, but is honestly just a lack of skill



And everyone's right about a stock FC being near impossible to drift if you don't have the skill. Just like One320B, it's built to stick from the factory, and will understeer at the limit. Getting some cheap coilovers will open up new doors in terms of drifting. The toe eliminators are also a good idea, but those NCDA guys swear by them. But then again, they're all wierdos!



I do not recommend learning on some used, worn out tires. They'll get you into bad habits and just extend your learning period. Get some used tires that still have traction, that'll be your best bet.

I swap bumpers for events... RE Amemiya front for shows & cruises... no bumper for drift right now... maybe later... i want to fidn a cheap front bumper to throw on for track days...

I'll admit I'm a shitty drifter, but if i can kick my 82 GSL sideways in the rain with no peoblem, and keep it sideways through the S turns around most of the streets around here, I know that the 13B in an FC can do it beautifully with or without boost. I have gone sideways in my car, a carb'd 13B GSL-SE, an N/A F, and 2 TIIs. I still believe to this day that it is the skill you posess in keeping your car controlled when you DO get it sideways that makes drifting what it is. Going sideways is great, but not a ***** against ***** sport. If you are worried strictly about the amount of ***** your car has then you'll probably do better in 'real' racing than drift (no offence intended!!) but think about it logically. There are AE86's, 240's, and N/A/ turbos doing almost as well with their boosted (or not) 4 cylinder and rotary engines as the guys that have BLOWN V8 engines and damn V10's, which illustrates the point that power and torque, while not unnecessary, (duh) doesn't play nearly the role in drift as it does in conventional drag and sprint style races.
