Whoa! I'm glad we have a drifting area now. That's pretty cool. Well, I dunno how many people on here drift, but I figured I'd throw together a thread. What kinda set up are you running? Having any trouble? Share your knowledge!
My FD is practically stock, I've been drifting this particular car for close to two years now, with roughly 100,000 miles on the original motor.
The only mods that come to mind are..
Tein Super Street Coilovers (nothing special)
PBM angle kit (not the greatest, but it most def. works)
ARC Intercooler, cold air intake, and GReddy titanium exhaust
Carbonetic carbon twin disc clutch
Light weight fly wheel (I forget the exact weight :x)
Driveshaft Shop aluminum driveshaft
Carbonetic carbon 2way LSD
Oh, and I have a PFC and Commander.
Like I said, basically stock.
I've drifted all three generations of RX-7, I prefer the FC most of all though, I just feel more at home in one, I guess due to the fact that I used to DD one for like three years. At any rate, here's a couple pictures of the car when I got it.
With the ol' turdbox 350z
When I first put coilovers on it and went to..."test" them out around a nice local road
My first decent crash, which was also posted here and made a big deal out of, it was pretty funny I thought!
And there she is as she sits now. I have a build thread dedicated to all of my RX-7's and occasionally my AE86 on this very forum. I'd love to post up more interesting information about any of my cars, but to be honest they are practically stock. My 3-rotor car which is currently being built, will be much more interesting to read about. I'll be able to share with you guys a lot more information about set ups.
I'm not claiming to be the best ever or anything, but I know a little bit, so I hope we can all help each other out, since we (rotary drifting community) are a pretty small bunch.
So please, post up any useful information you may have about your set up, ideas, anything. Again, I'm glad to see we finally have our own spot on the forum. I doubt it'll be nearly as busy as the others, but hey, at least we have our own spot now!
