do you think the car would just be better all around with the FD steering setup>?

 

I've got a 1997 Trans Am with 70,000mi on I'll make you a deal on. You can drift that thing for BLOCKS and not have to worry about wrapping your S2000 around a pole.

 

LoOlL how much

 

i hate people that hate on this

 

I think the majority can say that we hate idiotic ricer wanabe people like you because its idiots like you that make this car have such a high insurance rate; wanna be little FnF drifters running into polls doing 80mph thinking they could hold the drift.

Go buy an evo and screw up their insurance even more then they already are. Thats a popular 15 year old's car now which seems to be around your age judgeing by your lack of intelligence in other threads.

 

its easy to drift the s2000, just cant get as deep as angles as 240's etc.

 

i like to drift my S but i dont consider myself an "idiot" or a "ricer" - its just something people like to do, like auto-x. however, you have to be smart about it.

drifting on public roads is not very smart.

 

I think the FD steering setup is helpful for drifting to allow for higher angles and better recovery from a deep angle...Yes, it would help in this department, but I don't think it makes the S2000 an overall better car.

The S2000 is what it is...it grips and corners like no other.

Getting the car sideways and holding a long and controlled drift is very satisfying. I can feel that the car doesn't want to do it naturally...it wants to flip out and do a 180 or straighten out, but each time you lose it, you will know what it takes next time to control it. Instead of dishing out cash to upgrade to an FD steering setup, I think you can combat the short comings of the steerings setup with and understanding of what your limits are and what you can do to keep it in control. Like anything, sports, school, work, ...you work with it what you have, practice and fine tune your art.

The s2000's design wasn't optimized to go sideways, but you work with what you have.

 

i dont know if you read my first couple of posts, but i only drift in the snow and rain and on specific roads in my neighborhood. i dont live in a congested area so when it snows NO ONE is on the road, its crazy. what i meant by being smart is choosing roads that arent busy, that dont have blind turns (so you can see oncoming traffic), and to not go all-out like you have something to prove. just have fun but be responsible at the same time
