You got some style, I can dig it. Mostly it's the sound that makes it right. Do you mind indulging us with some of the details of your personally fabricated exhaust? I might like to emulate your design and replace my OEM rust pipe.
Remember what they say: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Yeah you did have a lot of body roll....Change all of your suspension parts. Its that easy. Tinker with it...don't be scurred!! Also, what kind of tires are you running?? It looks like they were trying to grip. Run crap tires like: yokohama AVS ES100 series. That will have you sideways in no time. Here are some pics..

The shockacho (coil-overs) pic that I gave you earlier was the "full tap" version. You can lower the car at the very bottom collar, while not compramising your stroke. Compare the top pic to these...see the difference??? The HKS coilovers are only adjustable at the spring. This means if you are air borne, you will have a huge play area (spring movement up and down) between the upper and lower shock shaft. Full tap coilovers allow no play at all. You tighten the springs in tis place with the upper collars and adjust the ride height with the bottom collars. Notice the HKS shocks have no bottom collars...Everybody got that?? Hahaha Any questions??Last edited by CaliChocolate; 02-21-2004, 10:04 AM.

Yeah i know i have rear upper control arms and irun good tires for a reason i like grip i get alot better control over my drift which everyone knows. I have better runs but no camera to show them i am goin to get JICSF1 after my turbo kit is finished and running i am run 195/15/50s for tires they are brandnew or were.
I dont have tension rods lateral rods or toe control rods because our shop is going to be manufacturing them so i am waiting for them to get done. And i am putting an 8 point cage in the car in a month or so. So chassie Flex will be goin away.Last edited by Driftin180sx; 02-21-2004, 04:13 PM.

Why burn up brand new tires?? Kind of a waste don't you think?? Buy used tires!! You don't want grip, you want drift. The only way you will achieve that is by running tires that have no grip or poor grip. Ex. yokohama AVS es100, Bridgestone grid 2. Also, a tire with a higher profile will in some cases, grip as well. Thats why you always see peeps run bigger lightweight wheels with a low profile tire. Low profile tires have no room for flexing, therefore it breaks traction easier and faster. Air pressure is another key factor. A lot of varibles huh??? You have to take all these into considerations when drifting. 15s and 16s arn't bad at all. In fact I still use them for racing. Finding used 17s and 18s to "burn up" are kinda exspensive; not to mention hard to come by. Its all in the tire. The more tread and tread pattern you have on your tire, the more grip you will have.

...Compare the yokohama avid V4 to the yokohama AVS es100. As you can see, the V4 has more tread than the AVSs. Therefore the V4s will grip more than the AVSs. Get it?? Less tread less grip=a good drift.
Suspension is suspension. They all come from the same warehouses, just different brandnames. Some may have different specs than others such as dampening and spring rate. All in all, they are pretty much the same. So don't spend big bucks for something that has a pretty powder-coating on it. You will see when you start tinkering. Its one of those things you kinda have to find out for yourself.Last edited by CaliChocolate; 02-22-2004, 04:22 AM.

Dont meen to rain on your paraid but your info is totaly off. What do you meen "you want drift not grip" and "its all out the same wharehouse".
I know for a fact your info is wrong. I deal with alot of shock makers and they are not from the same wherehouse. You also need a good grip tire to drift. This aint coketray a$$dragging.
