Who's drifting their stock M20?

A Corolla is an amazing stock drift platform?

Based on what? Have you driven a stock Corolla? The whole point to them is because they are so DIFFICULT to slide, which makes them so much fun. But competitive? Hardly. Only a handful of people can make the AE86 truly competitive with a N/A 4AGE, and even still, you only see them have an advantage in certain specific tracks.

Trust me, I loved sliding my buddy's AE86 on a stock 4AGE and coilovers. It's great fun, but it's not competitive fun.

There's a video of a stock M20 powered car drifting at a parking lot event. I don't recall his name. He seemed to do pretty well, I think you should be able to get sideways easily with bolt-ons. If 4A-GE powered AE86 guys can do it, so can you.

Thats kind of a dumb statement. You're taking a car that is an amazing stock drift platform and saying if it can drift then of course other cars can? Doesn't make sense. The 4ag/4age is super high revving, sturdy, great weight distribution and only weighs 2000lbs in stock form. Here's a quick summary for you: click here I would love to have one of these classic cars that was only produced for a few years.

what happened to the other one you were getting welded? I might want my open diff. I have to swap the face plate on it with my 373lsd. So if you want one with a busted mount on the face plate, ok I guess.

Well I could always take the face plate off my 373 and we could swap it then.

Lee said he couldn't weld it. Lemme know quick son!

So Yoshi... want to trade open diff for a welded diff? lol.

Or how much for your open 373?

[Erick]

Snapped belt and cracked off pieces of the head which hold the rocker shaft in place on the intake valves for #5. My PM box is full right now lol... I gotta clear that up.

You guys are inspirational, keep up the good work!

Erick what happened to your motor? Can I help you with another one? PM me if you have a chance.

I have never driven an e30 with a welded diff, but from my experience with 240s and welded diffs, they do promote oversteer on entry and mid-drift, as Luis (etxxz) mentioned.

[shiboujin]

Nah, Welded diff == initial understeer. I HATE the feeling of welded diffs.

[etxxz]

i'm going to answer before erick sees this and jumps off the forum walls. welded diff = oversteer....all day every day

[shiboujin]

Eh youre welding a 3.73 LSD? Plus I had a 3.73 lsd for sale.

Welded diffs == understeer. IMO its not a very good learning tool.

Also, to answer your question from a few pages back M30 == 6 cyl.

Im studying radiology. One day ill finish one day.

[DCColegrove]

Hmmmm,

I thought if it's drifting it's not planted well enough...

[evil_twin]

WOOT WOOT, I sent my diff in over to my friend. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get it installed! WOOT
