add a bunch of HP, waste of tires and you go slower around corners. showing off can be very expensive.
don't forget the rx-7 steering rack. they took theOEM electronic steering out of that car (which is actually the same as NSX).

you could drift without having too much whp. but steering angle isn't that great on this car and it tend to just spin out.

I say, if you want to have fun with your car, go for it. Don't listen to these haters who baby their car and never do anything with it except to take pictures of it and just park it most of the time.

Deng brotha you nailed it right to the gut. I agree with everything you said, especially the last part.

If you want to have fun, go wild out. This car isnt meant to be babied and garaged, its built to do its job and to put smiles to its drivers face.

i say do a lot of figure 8, dry and wet. That helped me a lot on throttle control and steering.

It's not about the driving part. this car isn't really that great of a drift car, that's all.

Look into the RSR (I think it was) car. They had to do a ton of work to get it to drift. Not just the rack.

If you are determined to drift the S, then go for it. But this car isn't really suited for it.

Yeah I agree with you. I actually read about that article somewhere in a mag. But thats meant for pro drifting tho.

I was just talking about amature drifting having fun with the car and that kinda stuff... This car is more grip than drift so yeah..
