im actually in the same situation as OP, i'm looking at getting to drift.
while most you guys have spoken like e brake button, solid bushes etc if i just go with a stock s13 silvia (what i have now) and LSD and coils, is that sufficient? |

That's pretty much all you need to go out and have fun drifting. Make sure all of the safety stuff is up to par. Fix stuff as you break it, because you will break stuff. edit: 1.5 if you're going to be daily driving it, 2 way if the plan is to eventually make it a full out track car. |

I've read s15 lsd's give you better torque.

there are oem replacement clutches, then the staged clutches. all the stages refer to are the HP and TQ capacity of the clutch. And then you have to take into account the pad material type, full face disk vs pucked disk, sprung vs unsprung hub.. just get the exedy stage 2. Or, if you have a ka24de car, go for the white bunny kit. my family in tac made it out ok, but they lost everything.. |

Hey sleepy, I see you're a honda mechanic. I'm having an issue with my 2000 civic si, it's idle is spiking and dropping. Fluctuations are between 1-2,000 rpms. Goes up and drops goes up then drops. Does this even when warm, the ecu tries to compensate and it'll start to "thump" at 1500-1600 rpms. I got a p0505 C.E.L code. Thats a I.A.C but that's obviously not the problem, since I changed the I.A.C and I'm still having issues. Could it be an o2 sensor on my highflow cat? Ideas?
My ideas are: I.A.C Throttle control valve Fast idle valve The cat o2 sensor. Ecu? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

locate this which is on the bottom of the throttle body(10mm bolts x3) ![]() take these 2 screws out ![]() see the white wafer thats looks like it would spin with a huge flat head? you need to turn it clockwise being very careful. turn it clockwise til it bottoms out and stops turning. At this time you need to BACK it out (turn it counter clockwise) about 3/4 of a turn (1 whole turn is ok too) another image for ya: ![]() you can send payment to me via paypal for me helping ya...LOL JK man... do this process and enjoy your smooth 700rpm idle. NOTE: idle may be between 675-800, anything above of below that feel free to PM me. ![]()

Most drift guys go with 1.5 way LSD's now. It's really not that important though. If you find a deal on a 2-way, go for it. |

Heres my set up drifting with a stock 95 KA24DE
Intake, Exhaust , Zoom Stage 2 4 Puck clutch ,aluminum rad , e fans , short shifter, with all the emissions deleted. Suspension : Megan Track Coilovers, Cusco Front strut Bar, Some God speed tension rods, and stance subframe bushings and a welded diff. This setup was good enough for me and lasted since 2010 , |

oh man... some good shit in this thread.
I use a bucket seat with oem seatbelt. its not that hard really... just like normal only you dont have to hold yourself in the seat while you do boss skids and make all the bitches gush everywhere. if you are lucky enough to have a few bright green and purple LED's in your car watch out. might as well come in swimming shorts as bitches will be gushing that much in your ride |

OP, I've been thumbing through these pages reading everyones insight on a build for a good beginner drift car. I would just like to add my own personal input into this. Take it as you may, I just figured it wouldn't hurt to share it.
For starters, I have never actually built a drift car, nor have I legitimately drifted a car. I have done little stuff in the snow and whatnot, but never actually drifted. Now, that being said, I'd like to step into the world of drifting and have quite a few friends that do it. My friend Tyler has been doing it, competitively and just for fun, since 2006. I have personally talked to people such as Forrest Wang, Garret Nikolich, Josh Steele, Nate Hamilton, Will Parsons, Brad Burnett, etc. (All of them are competitive drivers, some even in the Fomula Drift circuit) The one thing that all have them have told me about getting into the drifting "scene" is to buy a car and spend my money driving it. They have all made it a point to tell me that I wouldn't get any better at it by spending my money to modify my car to drift, rather than spending the money to go to events and learn and refine my skills and get better. They've also said that it's good to start with something low power with basic modifications, and then upgrade as necessary. The basic modifications that they have told me would be good for a beginner to learn with were: 1. Decent coilovers 2. A welded diff 3. A comfortable steering wheel 4. Seat time In closing, I'd basically like to sum things up by saying, why worry about spending all your money on buying parts and "building" a drift car that you wouldn't be driving, rather than spending as much time on the track as possible? To me, that sounds like some solid advice. Get the car, do the basic modifications, and then just go out and drive the piss out of it and have some fun. Hope this helps. Good luck. |

no. they are just newer, feel more responsive and lock up better than a vlsd. it does nothing to your tourque except distribute it better to the rear wheels.as for the 1.5 vs 2 way? 1.5's are used more for track, grip, and time attack cars while 2 ways are more popular in the drift scene. both essentially do the same thing in slightly different ways...
