So you've bought you car, and have got used to the feel of it. You want to get more control in the car, and make it feel more sporty. Well there are a few parts you can get that will help your car stick better, and make yu more comfortable while drifting. The first thing i would suggest is making sure the car is in good running condition. Make sure all the belts are good, check all the fluids and do an oil change. If the airfilter is dirty, get a new one, i would suggest buying a MAF plate and cone filter. Most of the cars you guys will be tuning are higher miles, so they probably need a little tlc. Next thing your going to need to check is the brakes, make sure pads have life left and the rotors are not warped. If they are, go to Napa and buy pads. You dont need a 150 dollar set of endless or PMU pads, and with napa its lifetime replacement free.
So now your car is running like new. Your ready for your first mods. If you have the cash, spring for a set of coilovers, if not, get a set of springs (Tanabe GF 170@SA). You can also get sturt bars on ebay for cheap. Ive seen a 3 piece kit (front, rear, lower rear) go for around 70. Now your suspension is alot tighter. I would get used to this before doing any more suspension mods.
Now if this is your second car, or you dont do to much street driving, id strip out evertying you can. Get a heat gun and a putty knife and remove all the sound deading. I think its like 50+ pounds on an S13.
Next thing I would suggest is getting a good bucket seat. You can get a decent one for under 200, and the mounts and everything for about 70. You dont need harnesses right away, but id get them anyway. This well help keep you planted in the turns, and instead of fighting to hold on, you can concentrate on the driving at hand.
The next mod is going to be an LSD. These are pretty expensive. Sometimes you can find used ones, but make sure if you go the used route you get it rebuilt.
Now your car is ready to drift. Spend the rest of the money on tires, your going to need them.
Hope this little right up helps, now stop asking how to build a drift car!
If you have any questions, you can PM me or any mod.
