Drifting with a mustang

Broke Neck · July 10th, 2008, 04:22 PM

Here in VA the car events have a nice variety

- 1/4 and 1/8th mile within a hour of anywhere
- 4 Different AutoX locations
- Drift Events

They finally started doing the drift thing this year, me and a few friends figured what the hell why not give it a try.

RJ - Turbo C4
Me - 88 GT
Mike - 383 LT1 RX7
AJ - Twin Turbo 350z

Our first mistake was putting small tires on the rear, I went with some dryrotted 215's and put 45PSI in them

Our goal was LOTS OF SMOKE and finally a chance to do LEGAL donuts haha.

Heres a video from the 1st drift event we had here, before my car was painted and what not.

AJ with the 350Z actually got the hang of it and ended up being really good .... showing up alot of the so called "drifters" that were out for the event, not all of them .... but a good majority

Drifting in a mustang is nothing new as most of you know. In Akron you wont have much, but you could travel to pittsburgh which i dont think is that far.

I have some friends up that way that goto a lot of events at Beaver Run.

Also we used to go up to Mid-Ohio for the USDrift event once a year, but they no longer have them up there with the nationals.

try WheretoDrift.com - The best place to find information on local events! and message some of the areas close to you about where to go.

If you have that hard of a time you can email me. I know when i started i had to travel at least 3 hours to get to any drift events(04/05). So traveling is something youll have to consider im sure.

u want to do lots of chassis work as well as suspenion, look into front n rear strut braces, and sub frame connectors, maybe even a roll cage

pa.ulB · August 31st, 2009, 01:14 AM

the steering angle on your mustang is no enough. correct that and it ll drift better.

pa.ulB · August 31st, 2009, 01:18 AM

oh and drifting your 6 is deffiniatly possiable. seen it done. With everthing you said your going to do to it should not be a problem

Rich_Guy · August 31st, 2009, 01:46 AM

if ur gonna put out 3-5g's out on setting up the mustang to DRIFT i recommend u just get a 240sx or corolla ae86....

why? well i dont think u want to wreck ur daily driver and tires going out extremely fast while the 240sx tires will be cheaper and all...

Eibach pro-kit and sway bars , tokico d specs, sub frame connectors, urethane bushings, control arms, Eaton diff, and gears added a lot of predictability and confidence to my car. Some good tires would be nice.

Well, there's two options. They can bump an ancient thread, or they can start a new one that's exactly the same as the 1,700 that came before it.

Don't know about you, but I prefer they bump the old ones, provided they have something to actually contribute.

Unless they're just post-whoring...

Everett · November 27th, 2010, 04:53 AM

i think that was a reference to me and you ansewred your own question...ummmm newbie ,reading old threads so i can try to answer my own question so i dont get people being a smart ass to me when i ask...and since i am new to forum altogether i never noticed the date so i was completely unaware how old it was...does that answer you question black bullet....and what exactly is there to gain by post whoring
