Hey guys, I have seen a few vids of guys rippin up parking lots with FB's but never any actual FB drift cars.



Is there something wrong with them that doesn't allow them to drift very well? Do they have too short of a wheel base? Is the solid axle diff worse then IRS?



How would the added weight and power of a 20B in an FB make it drift?



Am I crazy for even thinking of such a thing LOL ?



Anyways, just thought I'd ask!

you can def do it but to make it awesome and competitive it would need alot of custom modifications...............

Well heres what I have planned for my FB:



FC front subframe and steering rack, ditching the stock diff and replacing it with a shortened Ford 9" and "mini-tubbing" the rear wheel wells (keeping the stock body line, no flairs or widebody kit), 8 point cage.

I suppose to have a better balencing car, the engine should be set back as far as it can behind the front wheels.



I know that this almost seems like a drag car setup, but how would something like that be able to hold a line...sideways.
