What diff. are you running right now Erick? I'm wondering if I need to rebuild mine for higher lock-up or just keep it at the stock 25%.

Also, are you having any oil starvation problems in your M20 drifting? I hear that's a big issue with a lot of M20-powered track rats on left-hand sweepers.

My motor's always been running strong and as far as I'm aware, S14s are the ones notorious for oil starvation. :p Something's up now, but it sounds like an electrical/ignition issue more than anything... but the motor still sounds strong.

As for the diff, I'm using a stock S2.93, which really isnt my cup of tea. Love it on the highway... and makes my car a highway monster, but for drifting it kills my 3rd gear as I can never get boost (unless I go suicidal) to keep the drift going. So I'm always stuck on 2nd for drifts, working my way around with ebrakes and clutch kicks.

I'm considering jumping back to a 3.73, but we'll see what happens.

PS: Hatch AE86 > Coupe AE86. Looks-wise. :)

[GarrettM]

That car is fucking sick. The coupe 86's are so much better looking than the hatches.

Yes and more rigid. I have owned 4 of them.

I was open diff, stock n/a for over a year before I commited to a turbo.

Wish I had some cool drift events here in Iceland...
Great to see you in the top 12!

^ What he said. Power really puts a hold on your learning, because it makes "the basic" stuff so easy. You end up not even challenging yourself. I was open diff, stock n/a for over a year before I commited to a turbo.

[BrandC]

Makes me wanna save faster for my turbo and get my ass out there and learn.

Don't even buy a turbo kit. Power is only for those skilled enough (and ballsy enough) to take wide enough lines to need power to carry it through. Just learn with what you've got.

The M20 is a great stock motor to start drifting on. Just save your money for suspension, a clutch, LSD, a bucket seat, TIRES, event entry fees, TIRES, some Sportmax's, TIRES, and Jack in the Box.

[M42Technik]

its just been fixed right so you cant really tell until you get real close...

Thats why I'm surprised that you're throwin' dorito's and knockin out taillights :)

Seriously though, I would wuss out if my car were straight and lift off the throttle...and if there's one thing I learned from Erick...

[BeirBrennerE30]

Find a drift event and give me enough time to plan a trip... I'll gladly go if the plane ticket isnt a rape.

i may hold you to this hahaha... you just have to show me how you did it when your done

[backtrail69]

I will see if I can make it out to the 22nd event. I am not working and that is before school starts up again.

[Erick]

Looks good... good job on top 12. I have always wanted to drift my car but i am not very good.
