Title: Anyone here drift a highly modified RX7 ??
Post by: mph_saab on November 14, 2008, 03:52:56 PM
As title really, I have an FD3S and I\'m having some problems I wanted to discuss with like minded drifters....

Just want to know what set-ups you found best and any problems you may have had with steering / suspension set-up ??

And also types of turbo used and again power/boost ranges ??

Thank you in advance

If your around tomorrow and can get to Rockingham there are 2 FD\'s drifting this coming year. Both guys will be there. They are part of my team and another 2 forums. I\'ll let them know you are here and Im sure they will let you know.

Not many people on driftworks with FD\'s and not a great deal of parts available either :(

Just got a spin turn handbrake release for the FD from them, and my free wham bar again lol wahoooo

I find mine CRAP !
 
I am going to change the pads as they are a little low. They will lock them in the wet, but not a hope in the dry :spank

The FD E-brake is pretty poor, what sort of money are the Hydraulic Handbrake kits?

I\'m going down the track car route with the FD but will still be playing dori lol

The FD shift locks in the \'dry\', no problem at any speeds,  last year on Castle Combe we were shift locking into camp and quarry at stupid speeds, no need for a handbrake wahoo :evillaugh
