El drifto helpo needed!

[RB240Mike]

Ok welll I am starting to get into drifting and would like some advise, like most TR people I am broke lol in the process of getting a new job from moving for school etc. BUT ANYWAYS...

I have a 89 240 hatch and wanna set it up for drifting..

some specs

car is slammed on cut springs in the front and ghetto eibac coilover half things in the front LOL

open diff

don't worry about the motor it has enough power.

***
So first I am thinking dont waste my money on garbage springs or shit and just get some like k sport coilovers? (cheap and I have no money lol)

welding the diff (once again it's cheap and I have no money) lol


any other ideas pointers, suggestions for coilovers etc. PLEASE LMK asap. Might be going to Desoto on Sunday I dunno, if I do don't laugh lol.

[AL BUNDY]

Welded diff
coilovers

and practice honestly lol thats all u should need until you get good

and you dont really need coilovers if your getting started
lowering springs will do fine. but coilovers will help lots.

[RB240Mike]

Thanks alot, yea this open diff crap is getting annoying lol

but I dunno I figure why waste that money on lowering springs when I am gonna upgrade later anyways than that money I spent on the lower springs will be a waste lol. So I dunno we sall see.

[Jdm SiCkness]

After you get the welded diff and coils Go with cheap subframe bushing collars, inner tie rods w/ends, rear upper arms. werd thatd be a good start I think..

[RB240Mike]

Alright sounds like a plan

I found a good deal on some JIC full coilovers with camber plates.. any good????

[k4rr]

I dont think you can get those rebuilt here in the states. But I could be wrong.

[RB240Mike]

Hmmmmm

I dunno I found them cheap so IDK... might just go with some tein basics

[EroticA]

tein basics or ok. i heard better things about ksports. cut springs might be good for now, but the object is it disable body roll. by doing that, get coilovers and slam it on its nuts lol

arent you rolling on the RB20?

[enjoi43081]

You'r also gonna need a sweet body kit and a big rear carbon fiber wing to give you that extra power and aerodynamics !!!

Just phuckin' with ya bro, lol.

I say Ksport

[RB240Mike]

O sweeeeet! Yea I was thinking a 27ft. wing!

But yea it has an rb20.. and yea I know disabling body roll is the thing, I just wanted it lower till I got something more permanent.. so k sports though?

[S13_01]

so k sports though?

k-sports are really crappy in my opinion. if you want something cheap but that performs well i say either get some meagan's or some of the badger-werks coilovers. in my opinion not only do they ride a whole lot better, but perform better than k-sports. if you can still get those JIC's for cheap, they surpass all of the 3 named above. are they JIC's fltaII's? only downside about them tho is if you have to get them rebuilt.

[Jdm SiCkness]

They do have JIC usa.. so im pretty sure you can get them rebuilt.(I would double check first though).... : P

[RB240Mike]

Yea I really want the JIC's, I'm not sure which JIC's they are but I can find out. Also found some Gab Sports coilovers cheap to are they any good, better/worse?

[S13_01]

sounds like ebay spec

[Jdm SiCkness]

Im pretty sure GAB isn't in the states and more then likely if they're cheap they're blown...

[S13_01]

They do have JIC usa.. so im pretty sure you can get them rebuilt.(I would double check first though) : P
they do, but i heard thier customer service isnt the greatest.

[RB240Mike]

The Gabs aren't blown, but JIC arent in the states either, I can get both sets for about the same price which would be better?

[Jdm SiCkness]

JIC , One of the best out there..

[jonBODON]

but the object is it disable body roll. by doing that, get coilovers and slam it on its nuts lol
uh no
GET SWAY BARS! fuck some other things get sway bars!

welded diff and coils Go with cheap subframe bushing collars, inner tie rods w/ends, rear upper arms. werd thatd be a good start I think +1 all i would add is th sway bars like i said

[Silvia_San]

ksports are dog shit, don't get them. jic's i'm pretty sure can get rebuilt in the U.S. but supposedly there customer service is a bag of asses. Gab i think aren't even still in business anymore in Japan. honestyly if i was gonna build a super low budget s13 i would buy: used coilovers, a good drivers bucket, welded diff, rear upper control arms(do not want -8 degrees of rear camber poop). also do a bunch of maintenance. do a tune up on the ka, replace all thw worn suspension bushings on the chassis, etc. oh yeah also get some sticky front tires, i'm sick of people running tire kingdom dogshit on the front of there cars. and try and run something decent in the back. i know everyone loves dry rotted cooper cobras, but contrary to popular belief youa actually want some rear grip.

Yea that was kinda my plan. I have an RB though, not a KA.

I'm also running some pretty new Kumho Ecsta's, not my choice but they will have to do until they wear out.

[AL BUNDY]

+1 on bushings... replace all the bushings just get like energy suspension bushing kit thats what i put on my car.

and tein inner/outters are only 170 ish give or take 15 bucks on where u find them. they are big help.

and dont waste money on strut bars if your getting coilovers.

good set of sway bars will help too

check out Whiteline sway bars or a cheaper way would be Godspeed ive heard there sway bars are pretty nice.

[Jdm SiCkness]

Nice guys.. team work. keep it coming...

[Silvia_San]

Nice guys.. team work. keep it coming...

[Silvia_San]

please get cams.

[Silvia_San]

oh also when you buy coilovers if you buy them new try 9/7 springrates instead of the usual 8/6. prob better for the little extra weight you have in the front with the rb.

[RB240Mike]

O true true didnt think about the weight in the front.

Cams make a big difference?

[Silvia_San]

well they can paired with other supporting mods, and close to stock duration cams will give you a little more power and response, but i just said to cause rb's sound sexy with cams.

[RB240Mike]

Lol that they do, it's funny because right now I am running straight 3" exhaust with no cat or muffler and when I start it up it sounds like a big v8.. living in hernando county all the rednecks look over and have this confused look on their faces lol.

[jonBODON]

good set of sway bars will help too
they will help alot! thats the one thing i see over looked by allmost everyone. anyways the car looks nice!!
i got a sparco fs ;]

thats because they don't make aftermarket sway bars for some peoples cars jerk.:lol:

[RB240Mike]

Lol at you guys,

That is a bad ass seat, buttttt coilovers come before seat :(

Since the back half of my car is gutted I might as well do some pretty bars back there to lol.

[jonBODON]

thats because they don't make aftermarket sway bars for some peoples cars jerk.:haha:

[RB240Mike]
