anyone drift there 7?
I am big into drifting with my seven. I got into it when I got my first car (my ex-police crownvic). I would slide that thing down the longest curves in the winter.
But snow drfting is easy. I am trying to learn to drift on dry pavement now with my seven. I have been doing pretty good at high speed (70+) long curve drifting but I am haveing trouble with lower speed( 40 to 60) tight curve drifting. Like on city streets. ( I do need a limited slip)
I am wondering if anyone else here drifts there rex. I would like to know how you have your suspesion setup and what kind of powertrain you have (HP, clutch type, posi type etc)
I got some pics of me drifting at high speed and I should have them up soon.

Yea I would like to know to. You see FC and FD drifters, but I n4 saw any FB drifters.
What are your experiances drifting a FB? Is it a good drift car? Or would you like to have a FC for drifting?
And what are your specs+set-up?

Mine drifted for a little while on an old dirt road, but it scared me because I wasn't prepared for it. However, in the rain, it drifts pretty well and it's also quite smooth; kind of like the one drift I did with my Jeep a while back.

Aico- My car is stock except for a custom exhaust system, fuel system and no pump/ratsnest and a electric fan. I have some really shitty
165/80/r13 carlton tires (never heard of them). that helps a little
I have drifted a FC and it is a better drift car but only because the steering is so much quicker and stock it has a lot more power.
If you have never drifted before do a search on the internet.
When I first started drifting I got some little donut spares and put them on the back and just slid around in a parking lot till I got used to the car sliding. Then as you get better, and get more power you can step up to bigger tires.
Smoothness of power is a key elemant so I am looking at a MSD setup as my next mod.
