Just wanted to know does anyone recommend having a drift car thats also a daily driver,i mean i want to go to event an event & drift the hell out of it and be able to drive it home, i know its a lot to ask from a car but just wanted to know if anyone has done it before and if it is possible what set up should i use?

I did it for 5 or so years. It's all about how well you maintain your shit; obviously.

vas570sx · 07-22-2011, 08:36 AM

I do it.. I would 100% have a 2nd car though if I had the room. No matter how well you maintain your car, the unexpected could always happen.

alexanderig · 07-22-2011, 08:42 AM

Depends on how much of a drift car you have. For example I have my s13 with no Ac a ka with basic mods and a stiff suspension with a welded diff and I daily it. Of course if I had cash I'd buy a daily

s14unimog · 07-22-2011, 09:15 AM

^ Ya, it is nice to be able to "get away" from the car some times. I'm rocking a daily now but there was a time when I didn't have the cash. It can be done if you have the commitment; otherwise I wouldn't be here.

If you have a back up

well lets see if you have a car to do grass roots event like many do (stock kas srs etc) with basic mods its alot more different then dailying a car with a cage that can pass tech at formula d and running e85 understand?

Slidewayz90 · 07-22-2011, 12:20 PM

^ thats basically what i have now is stock ka with basic mods and a welded diff......i just found out yesterday that i have bad piston rings so im not sure weather to go sr or get another ka.....btw im in florida too were are these grass roots events held at?

alexanderig · 07-22-2011, 09:34 PM

Join up on sfldrifters and they'll have a list of all events

x3thelast · 07-23-2011, 01:20 AM

i daily my drift car. no a/c no radio and a roll cage. i would love to have a beater car just incase something happens to mine. but usually after an event you'd want to change your engine and diff oil and check your axles. mine are usually blown a week or so after an event.

good luck

alexanderig · 07-23-2011, 12:05 PM

theres an event tonight in miami ill be sliding and driving the car home

Z33dori · 07-23-2011, 12:14 PM

i do it, and i hate it

but i dont wanna quit drifting,

zerodameaon · 07-23-2011, 04:39 PM

I used to daily the same car I drift then I got a daily vert to set the other car to track only, except well the track cars being built the daily is turning into more of a daily drifter. guess I dont learn.

Not really when I've seen bone stock KA's compete at Formula D events, and fully built cars at local events.

but those guys driving fully built cars didnt drive to the event and drive home...you are missing the point completely.

JaeTea · 07-24-2011, 08:00 AM

If you gonna daily and drift it by a 350z, not some old s13 chassis.

driftxninja · 07-24-2011, 08:27 AM

yea you really do have to maintain the crap out of it. i think im due for an oil change actually. ha.

i have an s13 with track coils, VLSD (SHIT), cant wait to get a 2 way, intake exhaust, mishimoto cooling system. i daily it and drift it.

OkiDori17 · 07-24-2011, 01:05 PM

i daily my s13 pushing almost 400 on my SR, once i get back from the sandbox im going even bigger...500+ =]
you just have to maintain the hell out of it and have extra $$$ for when the unexpected happens

jdo180 · 07-28-2011, 08:56 PM

drove and maintained a gutted AE86GTS with 6pointcage,trd track coils
1.5way diff,and no a/c
for 2years of high school and 180sx since then

but it is for me!

Did the exact same with my GT-S. I was pushing it a little, no heat, wipers/sprayers, no interior or radio, and a 2way lsd

some of the best times Ive ever had DDing that car. Its deffinately not for everyone though.

Shift-240 · 07-28-2011, 09:21 PM

I loved to daily my track car....untill it broke 3 months ago. I loved driving it but not when it gets Me tickets.

Haven't had a car in 3 months so I put the drift car on hold for a while and am buying a daily.

Then ill park the daily and go back to dailying the drift car.

ryandriftingfat · 07-29-2011, 03:43 PM

I daily'd my stripped SR20 S13 for two years. I did it; I loved driving a race car on the street, but I hated it otherwise. Always worrying about it getting stolen, or crashing at the track and not getting to work the next day.

Saved up, bought a truck to tow my S13. Problem solved.

HYPNOTIK · 07-29-2011, 03:58 PM

I still don't understand why people remove thier A/C...

I daily my car. 425whp, 2 way, solid mounted everything, stiff-ass-fuck suspension. Sometimes I hate it, but when I don't drive it for a couple days I miss it. You just get used to it.

Removing AC is the equivalent of hitting this with a closed fist.

OkiDori17 · 07-29-2011, 07:33 PM
