Wait guys. I'm pretty sure Americans have ruled out that in order to drift you NEED a V8... Drifting in a KA or SR is just too difficult and expensive :/

try it stock and see if it is for you. most people just just on the bandwagon and talk about spending more money than bill gates makes and never go through. i came from the honda scene too and its way different. i have had 5 240's since. i recommend having fun with it before you try and make it just look hardcore and then not being able to properly use your parts on your car. its not a honda, even part actually makes a difference for the most part.

from my personal stand point- first car i bought was a turbo s13.5 big mistake, learned with a stock ka 240 , welded diff and lowering springs. now i go a different s13 with an sr and a couple bolt-ons and some sweet suspension parts it worked out for me upgraded slowly and spending most of my money on tires and practice time but then again everyone is different, just my .02. welcome to zilvia

best way to get better in drifting is to start out with less power. youll learn to control the car way better and the different techniques used to drift a vehicle, and i would work more on the rear diff and than suspension before going for a motor.

How much power to drift?


All of it.

Drifting-pedobear

or at least 98% of it.

I'd go with a good 1.5 way LSD if it's also a daily driver car. A 2 way could be a bit dangerous in the rain when you aren't trying to slide.... same goes with welded, and the welded will have you going through tires really quickly....

As for VLSDs, they just won't give the same performance as 1.5/2 way LSDs...

Power has it's place, but it isn't as important as say a good suspension setup, I drive an 85 corolla with 115hp and I have no trouble at all getting it sideways

I miss the days when we used to be able to flame the newbie retards without everyone getting all antsy in their pantsies...

That being said, the OP needs to start by GETTING A FUCKING CLUE. Horsepower means nothing if you don't know how to use it. You can drift with a stock KA running on two cylinders if you're determined and skilled enough. For an amateur drift car it just doesn't matter.

Don't modify one god damned part on your car untill it is in absolutely perfect condition either. Change ALL your fluids, belts, hoses, tune-up parts, etc... Fix ALL of your fluid leaks. And of course go through the suspension and brakes thoroughly to ensure that everything is at least in good safe condition. Once you can actually drive your car on the street with confidence in it's reliability THEN you start thinking about what you wanna change.

Once you do start to actually modify your car start with the basics. Suspension, brakes, and drivetrain are the first things to go through. Once your car is set up to the point where it is READY for more power, then you can start asking about how much power a "drift" car should have. Of course by this point you will have gotten that clue and you probably won't have to ask anymore.





P.S.......
I swear to god if Castro talks about his welded diff one more time in this thread I'm going to weld his face!!!

doke! ドリフト

I didn't read every post but a lot of people are forgetting the first thing you need...tires.

Grab a couple sets of stock wheels or steelies and find some cheap tires(I use to dig behind tire shops)

Trying to spin 14 or 15" wheels in a KA with a diff will be plenty easy and good practice for a longgg time.

The people that come off like that are usually the kind of people that lack knowledge on tuning,The guy asked a simple question and is being bashed for it,You guys should welcome him for leaving the honda scene and joining zilvia,Shame on the flamers.

Welcome to zilvia fast.

ericcastro

Hey.
If your just starting and on a budget, whos gonna buy a $800-$1200 LSD??
The car cost that much



For $20 you can weld a diff, try drifting, and if you like it, buys some suspension and go from there.

And the welded helps my weak ass KA spin 17x9's.
And it doesnt go through tires.

And the welded loves the cage and stiched shell , lol

To all you people saying its a bad question and its a noob question blah blah lbah. Stfu. U all swear like u came out of the womb with all the knowledge u have now. Maybe u guys had the same questions when u started out but didn't have the balls to say it. His question is a good one. When u all need help what do u do? Ask a question right? Right!

Everytime I drive a car with a welded diff I wanna light it on fire! Except yours cause it used to be mine! LOL! You're right though, as much as they suck ass for pretty much anything else a welded diff works great for a dedicated drift car. I still have to weld your face though. Going to the BBQ? I'll bring the Lincoln!



Oh look another guy got all antsy in his pantsies. Do you have Beiber fever???

ericcastro

For sure the BBQ, lol

Once I transplant an engine, I will then go 2way. But for the KA, I always felt by never unlocking it helped you extend those drifts an extra 5 feet. which is a lot in a KA, lmao!!
