Can't wait for El Toro.

Looks like a fun project, I almost started a fox body drifting project (85 SVO with the 4 banger turbo) but I ended up having to pull the drivetrain and ship it to my Uncle for his Ranger. Good luck with your project!! Keep up the good work.

That video is good, but is it as good as this video?

Welcome to the limitations of 1970's suspension. My SN95 is the same way.. very easy to spin the tires and break traction. Very easy to kick out the rear end.

However it can't maintain a sidewards slide, rather it either stops when I tap the brake or let off the gas, or simply spins out as the rear-end comes around to say hi!

Have you looked at altering the steering rack, tension rods et al? Try and get some sharper angles?

Looks like you're making some good progress. I wanted to come out to El Toro but I had other plans that wouldn't let me. That locust is sick. It's a 4ag turbo, right?

On a side note, one of the fastest 'auto-x' cars up in BC was a fox body mustang. Dude has some serious suspension mods, car was stiff.

If it wasnt for not a fan of the looks, a fox body buildup would cost half that of a 240, maybe 1/3rd if you start out with someones half finished project.

I nearly bought a foxbody with a crate engine just had to install it. $1500 Canadian. i should have.

looks like you were using spherical bearings on the lower control arms. Seeing how those work, I think your axle is going to get too much side to side movement. Im sure it would improve majorly after a panhard bar.

That's the beauty of these cars.

Mars: The car has a panhard bar. Full specs are at www.drift50.com

RJ: Yeah turbo 4ag.

you need to truck it out.... and get as much weight off the front as possible. any plans on that? I know the cressida's steering response and such changed a lot when i swapped out the 7m to the sr because of the huge weight diffrence. If you haven't already, maybe you can ditch the 5 mph bumper and bumper cover for a fiberglass one and swap the hood out for something better. even if taking off the front bumper saves you 40 pounds, it's still a good savings since it is so far forward of the front wheels. It would go nicely with the weight saving you did when you ditched the ac stuff.
