not sure in hp but I just wanted to add that suspension and a diff play a key role in drifting so you might wanna invest in those instead. stock hp should be fine.

Not sure what that guy is talking about. I'd say 200 horsepower is pretty darn good for scotting around the streets/track. I handled myself pretty well with about 140ish, so I think 200 would be crazy.

I think
Should suffice for drifting power. but really corolla's do it with like 85hp to the wheels. so 120ish would be nice

this isn't some forum where people just bash/flame people for no reason (yet). he asked a question that believe it or not is a pretty good one. seems like someone was trying to jump on a bandwagon (you) and missed pretty bad. i'd like to know who the hell you think you are to come off so high and mighty.

Wow. Pretty big flame fest haha.
Dear OP, please try using proper grammar and punctuation in your next thread and you will very likely get better results. However, concerning your current question, the guys telling you to worry about suspension and a solid 2-way/welded/etc diff are correct. Once you have those, i would say anything over 250whp would probably very nice to drift. But formula d guys are using like 600whp haha, so somewhere in between is a good bet. |

I second that opinion if you were talking about the super long hate post, it all been said and does not apply here.
Anyways... I agree with all the opinions said about suspension and diff setup. I would suggest coilovers, an LSD and then use any left over cash for tires/ track fees ...and watch the Keichi Tsuchia "drift bible" movie |

Try posting this again. Till then you sound like you've been trolling ziptied since you were 15 and have now gained enough internet bad assery to flame someone. I came from honda's the guy obviously is asking a sincere question. Based off of my own experience drifting (in grid) you will need at least a minimum of 656 horsepower, at that rate TQ is irrelevant. Second, don't ask stupid questions like that here on Zilvia. I got flamed the same way when I joined back in 2004 and asked about sr20's and smog. And I am only returning the favor to the new blood.

That dude is trying way to hard to be a badass zilvian.
LSD for sure. Good suspension. Coilovers. Hell even a nice set of shocks and springs would get by if you could not dump the cash on coils. But for the price of PBM coils and there quality I would jump on a set of them.

On a serious note, have fun with the KA before you swap it out/turbo it. Stock HP with suspension mods should enable you to slide. Plus it's easier to learn on

I know about the suspension and diff and all that stuff but ill prolly leave it stock and do everything else first then motor work/swap.What is a good affortable coilover setup for these 240's...Sorry i dont no shit about these cars yet.. I no in my world "i work at a race car shop that does a little bit of everything but mostly domestic drag shit" welded diffs are not the right way to do things,do they hold up fine in these cars? thanks again for helping a new guber out lol

Been on a welded diff and stock engine for 4 or 5 years now.
Drifts fine. 140hp maybe. not even an intake. Spent the first 3 years on shocks and springs with a welded. I dont think its the misspelled words, its the stupid high school text lingo that people dislike. this isnt your phone, this is the internet, ya know (and this is coming from the worst speller here, lol) |

To the op, PLEASE learn how to spell. All the no/know bullshit is making you an extremely easy target, especially when you're asking very noobish questions.
Like many have said, stock kade power is more than sufficient for drifting. A good clutch, LSD, and suspension/alignment are far more vital than big hp numbers. Only increase hp once you gain experience. |
