snow and/or ice work quite well.

The S2000 isn't really meant to drift.

 

weight reduction and a $hit load of power.

 

You want to drift an S2000? Pump up the rear tires to about 50 lbs of air pressure. The rears won't grip as well with 50 lbs psi in them.

 

I wouldn't really suggest drifting with the S2000. I've done it at a lot of competitions before, and after about a year of drifting, my propellar shaft, differential and rear wheel bearings were all broken. Most of the drivetrain parts weren't made to be abused, where as the suspension and engine were.

 

but it still lasted for a full year?

 

good one

 

i can get mine to drift...clutch kick the shit out of it, im not very good but i can do it, and ive never touched my ebrake

 

My instincts (and my pocket book) prevent me from partaking in such activity. I once cranked my steering wheel to the right going through an intersection at a little bit above 30 mph and nailed the throttle. I was pretty sideways

I have done this in the rain (at low speed) once or twice.

There is a market called Glen Ellen Village in Glen Ellen. Once in a blue moon, I show up at their parking lot in the middle of the night. It is a tiny oval. It is just long enough to reach 25, maybe 30 mph in 2nd gear. I like to do laps around it. The car does different things depending upon how wide, or how narrow I come into the turns, and how early or how late I start to turn in. I usually do about 5-10 laps (before the local sheriff deputy shows up ) and squeal the tires. On occasion, I will come in hot enough to get my car massively sideways, then split

Other than this, I dun't abuse my car. I don't do burnouts, or put excessive stress on my drive train, particularly my clutch.

 

Well I wanted to pose this question out there just to get an idea of what a majority of you think. And I wanted to see if anyone had some advice from their own expreince like DC AP1 had provided. I'm not completely stupid, I know what the potential costs can be, and I'm only trying to see if there was anyone here that could give some trial and error advice. Comments that say buy a 240 doesn't help, I believe that this car is a great track and even a Drift car. In the future if you have some worthy comments please step forward. Otherwise read it and pass it. I don't need smart remarks that don't provide any benefit, I can get that out on the street.
Oh and I remember back when they said that a honda isn't made for drag racing or that it can get below 12 seconds... Those pioneers didn't listen to what some of you would probably say.

And for those that do care. I did read up on the RSR S2k; FYI...BlitzSRM is correct, they did remove the steering rack and replaced it with a mazda one. There was suspension work and relocated the fuel tank to a fuel cell placed in the trunk, oh and they swaped the 2.0L for a 2.2L w/ Turbo. For the Drivetrain they put in a Kaaz 1.5way LSD, Comptech housing, and of course a clutch and lighten flywheel.

Thank you to those who had more useful advice. In the future I hope that we as a community can help eachother out rather than talk garbage.

 

drifiting is lame. the s2000 was meant for REAL road racing.
