Anyone Drifting? HELP!

[Spitfire8o5]

if your gonna run just srpings...h&r race or ie stage 3 with bilsteins will be fine. do ALL of the bushings with poly. and sways and 50psi in the rears. stock lsd kinda sucks so run a welded if ya feel frisky. otherwise have fun and dont hit shit!

Haha all I can do is try.. With my 1st s13 I took out a port-a-potty, three tall curbs, and two light poles.. And it still drove str8 and lives till today haha a close friend is the proud owner now.. And those two are what I had in mind on a reply I posted on the 1st page somewhere.. Saw the rayhes and their nice on the front and stiff in the back.. And billies are on the way!! Just with vogtland springs :( still way way better than stock blown shocks and heated stock springs!! What sway bars are nice for these cars?

lol you need snow for that driftizzzz

No sir.. I stay away from snow, here in SoCal the snow is hours away.. And my last experience in snow sucked.. We were in a 4x4 tundra and we slid off the road and almost hit 2 cars.. Doesn't seem
like you would have any control in snow haha unless you feather the gas like no other going 2mph hahaha I'll still to the regular paved roads.. Rain is even too loose for my taste.. Tires love the rain though.. Haha dry paved roads are another story.. Kills the poor things.. :)

50 psi or rain and your set haha. with the right driving you can make it slide way good enough to have fun

Haha it's all I'm after.. Not out to be a ballz out, caged up, stripped track beast.. And mine are down to 32 on front and 40 in the back and spins the 205/50r16's like a champ!!

Um... Melting springs? What means this?

heating i think woulda been a way better word for what i meant haha.. i took a torch to the stock springs and had them drop down as low as i wanted.. (seriously not reccomended, rires horribly and they slowly get lower and lower) i only did it because i knew suspension was just around the corner man.. and i had a horible gap front and back and couldnt take it anymore.. and cheap way to go would be simply pulling your springs out and cutting them.. still going to be just as soft as they were.. some shocks dont take to kindly to lowering tho..

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? A low power drift car? Just drive on 155s in the back and you're solid. :p

M42s are crappy motors to be sliding on though. You either drive balls out or not at all (similar to the s2000). And if you're doing this stuff on the street, it's not likely to work out well.

relax a bit, and i was thinking low compression turbo motorwise.. NA for this motor doesnt looks like its going to happen haha.. and im running on 205's at the time and can easily slide in 1st thru 2nd.. not enough room for 3rd where i go.. (huge empty parking lot) and you can make anything slide with the right driver behind it.. some weight transfer and the handy clutch pedal have worked fine for now.. and im barely getting into it man.. and im simply putting together an extremely fun daily driven 4dr that can slide around if i please with ease

those vogtlands won't hardly cut it for drifting. I have been out drifting twice with mine and lots of roll and not stiff enough in rear, front are perfect though. A little birdy showed me that he could run honda coil overs on his rear spring perches.

Figured :( and thinking about some h&r sports? IE stage 3's? And just thought it was a hell of a deal for the price I paid.. And the rear end does in deed need to be almost as stiff as it gets.. Front should have some mercy

Siick, and I was thinking more like steel break lines, slotted rotors and nice pads for the stock 4lug, front and rear sway bars, complete energy suspension bushing kit, nice flywheel, aggresive clutch, motor mounts? Wanted a chip for it.. Delete catback and resinator, and don't even know if my diff is LSD? Anyone? Haha feels like it is.. And maybe an electric fan switch to keep it on when times are about to get roughh!!!

LOL. nice.
you have the exact same car as me, the color is called diamond schwarz.
Rota's? nice.
For wheels/suspension on mine, I'm thinking:
5-lug conversion, set of Bmw M-system Throwing Stars (On M5's) and just drop it about an inch in the back, and 1/2" more in the front.

We should have pretty similar projects!
