1jz drift s13 build...

[1jzz30]

I like the car, just dont understand the need of a foot long shifter, three foot long exhaust tip, extreme negative camber on the front not allowing the tires to fully plant on their footprint, and scraping body panels over every little bump....sorry for the rant. Kinda gettin big into the drift scene.

But yeah sweet build. I like matching wheels too haha.

Those are just a few reasons Drifting has completely Ruined the Automotive Industry.

HAHAHAHA

The whole point is to look completely awesome. Scrape on as many things as possible. Make ass many loud/awesome noises as possible. That's kinda what drifting is.

And as for the camber thing. It's a mac strut running high amounts of caster car so when drifting the leading tire on front gets extreme positive camber at lock. I'll use my car as an example. I run -3.8 deg in front but at full lock my leading tire (the one doing all the work) is at positive 0.2 deg. At 3/4 lock (where I'm at the most) I have 100% contact patch. This is the reason. And it's not just a drift thing look around. Have you ever driven a car that has more front grip the more you turn? It's awesome.

This is a cool car IMO. It has an excellent oldschool/street drift style. Way to go.

Very nicely said

The concept is there. The problem is the amount some of those guys go. They go way overboard to where they dont have the steering they need, it looses grip and they slide towards the wall. After looking at my tires with very little negative camber, they wore evenly during drifting.

It's true man but remember our geometry is totally different. Lasers dont lie

 

[tturnpaw]

I will say -30-40* of camber will not help.

haha, i completely understand where everyone is coming from and you'll notice i did cut the exhaust shorter...not because of the haters, but i don't want to ruin the turbo/manifold if i rub against the wall =)

as for the shifter...we're not concerned with shorter shifts, but confirmed shifts. i'm sure you won't be as confident with a stubby, quick shift over a larger throw which makes certain you're in the right gear (especially when your body is moving to the side instead of backwards).

as for camber, how's this for 100% contact patch..taken at the clubloose weekend killer (more pics later =p):

much love and don't say drifting has ruined the automotive industry...sponsored show cars did!

[aphxero]

People sponsor show cars? Why?

 

[otaku64]

well there's a TON of coverage from the clubloose weekend killer a couple weeks ago. i only made the saturday runnings and ended up tearing a rad hose so i'm looking forward to the clubloose east coast bash on may 30 & 31.

there's a bunch of great videos from the entire weekend on the blog: http://www.powerzamcam.com/blog/category/video/

i also have a fire system to install and you'll notice i cut the exhaust tip =)

 

[tErbo b00st]

i can't believe i just now looked at this thread

fucking sick car...but you shouldn't have cut the exhaust :evil2:

what a year! i accomplished the single goal i had one year ago which was to drive to and from the track for nearly every event spending minimal cash (no trailer or hotel). thanks to clubloose opening the etown track every month and george's amazing work on the car, that was possible and this turned into the best drifting season ever! we also met some awesome people that i look forward to seeing next year, even had the pleasure of crashing with one, check out the left rear quarter =D. i patched the rear bumper up with some left over front bumper parts haha. funny thing is the last event i broke a stud and destroyed the rest of the front, also the stock twins are pretty much done so maybe that'll be all for the off-season, check the blog for winter rebuilds. well thanks to everyone for a great year! here are some pics from 2009...full gallery on flickr:

most pics are from ankur, unless watermarked...

two of my favorite shots and a few stills in larger size =)

til next year!!

Keep the pic's coming.
Looks like great fun.

2010's been a boring car year, but exciting life year...my girl and i bought a place in march so i told myself driving would be OFF this season...yea, that didn't happen. besides switching back to popups, east coast bash was super fun, and should tide me over until the fall, even though wrecked moves is tomorrow...booo

well...if anyone has an aftermarket front bumper, used or whatever, hit me up and i'll be glad to purchase it from you.

thanks!

 

[rtrdpenguin]

Looks 100x better with the popups

How is drifting with a 1JZ'd S13? I've always thought it would be a great combination since S13s are so much lighter than MKIIIs.
