Good luck Nash!!!

Spray down your tires with WD40 before you start. That should make it challenging.

Post up the vids afterwards!

 

[thechori]

good luck dude! give that a70 a presence in the drift scene!

 

[Grimsta]

Yeah, where's this comp at? Where you from? If its in Cali I may hit it up. YOu should GRIP n SLIP on the 8th at Thunderhill!

You can make it here in about 12 hours if you're coming from LA. Just get on I5 North and remember to bring some ID for the border.

What are these other steering extensions you're trying besides my spacers? Depending on what they are, I might not suggest using both at the same time. My spacers are meant to be used with stock tie rods.

And how much power are you making and what wheels/tires are you going to be using? Good tires make all the difference even with stock turbo power. I tried using sawblades at first and it was horrible, but with 18x9, 18x10 in the back, the car was much better.

And your bilsteins are probably a better damper than most coilovers, but the springs are probably too soft, it will still be fun though.

I know you really like Bilstein and for good reason. But that Bilstein/TRD setup just sucks balls like no other. I used it for drifting and it was roll city. People thought i was gonna flip the car

who cares how you do... HAVE FUN!

TRD springs are pretty soft right? That's probably why. I don't think I ever tried drifting the car on stock springs or close to stock rate, but I know from driving it around, that it's not something I would want to do.

Good Luck Drifting bro., and have fun!!

Try and get at least 17" rims. The side wall on 16's are way to much flex. It made a world of difference when I was sliding my car to run the 17's

 

[shaeff]

like you would know.

 

[NashMan]

thanks for the imput guys but well aware that 16 blow goats but it all i got for now plus with alot fo air persure i should be ok ish plus at 8 tires are all the same as well so the change over will not be bad when swaping tires so this is a good thing

plus i force my self to drive on them for 1 mouth so i get used to them and how they handle

my hole setup is this

st bar wiht ajsutble end links no plastick bs
all bushing are like new no slup in my car
blistein shock's
trd/eibock springs same shit progrive rate ewww but what ever ( should have the jic rebuilt for next event mabye this one but have to call for price to be noted)
front strut bar for streeing respones
alined to my specs might camber the back a tad and ajsut the front caster if i have power issue

REMOVE BOOM BOX lol

bpued car and tuned via sfac at our shop for mid rang power and quicker spool



now as of the streeing extetion no way i going to use both i will blow my rack in 2 secounds i remmber last time i fucked around wiht rack i had to chage the piston stop so the rack whould nto blow cause of the all the travle the fuild got to go some were

what it looks like is a female thread to a male just screws on it very agives 15 dagrees

the one that is offered here on the from is roughly about 8 dagree give or take

so i going to test the spacer frist to see how much tie rod i ahve and to see how much rack i have to play wiht befor the blow the seal's

sad part is he bean selling them for some time and no one has installed them yet such a same guys oh well i guess i will be frist

If you try to use both my spacers and that add on piece, you will probably have more angle than you can use. You should be able to use a little more than you'll get with my spacers, but both of them together and you'll just be slamming you wheel into your sway bar. And depending on wheel size, you might be close with just my spacers. I know I've seen setups on here where people were running wider wheels with high offsets and they were hitting the sway bar without any steering mods.

And it would be good to see someone using the spacers. I sold about 40 sets on here and still have a lot more, so I'm looking forward to the feedback. I used them all season and it made the car so much better than it was without them. Once you get a stiffer suspension on that thing it should be super easy to drift.

And don't get used to sloppy 16s, use them, burn them up and then get rid of them. With the weight of the supra and the bigger sidewall it just leads to horrible feedback. I don't know how much experience you have, but the tires will hold you back, especially after putting on the other suspension.

After what I've done to the supra, pretty much just my suspension, steering spacers, a seat, welded diff and a steering wheel, I like drifting the car as much as most S13s I've driven. And it's just about as easy and I haven't even started tweaking the alignment too much yet.

Good luck......take some pics.

 

[NashMan]

no no not gong run them both that be like 8 plus 15 makes over 23 dagreees way way to much i blow my rack part or jump a gear if there not that many theeth left (that whoudl be like freaking fork lift)

i have drifted befor useing my old frist gen rx7 was great car used 13 wheels too soooo cheep and wiht some cheep work like coil isolators and some streeing arm changeinf and bending such got that sucker ot be great drift car for liek nothign and brake biass controler

and i used ot place very well wiht that car but i got rid of it cause umm loud side exit exhuast and i was goign to get cought sooner or later doing some thing dumb


remmber teh hord feel you get is not form tire only is cause your diff is welded a lsd will sofen the snap i showed with my littel vid

The diff was welded after we put good tires on the car and everything works quite well. From my experience is a very easy setup to drive at the limit. (by the way I'm talking about the same car as Wiisass)
