Im back got scamed
Stupid SOB scamed me and now i guess i can have a project. Back to the FC. I guess I will try to turbo the car. But might have a little troble finding the parts I need. What I am trying to do is build a drift car. The starion was cool and all but has to go and the 86 deal might fall though so basically what I want to know is what kind of setup would I have to run in the drift circuit.
Here is what I was thinking:
1988 GTU
S5 turbo motor and drivetrain swap
street port
bridge port
1600cc injectors
big turbo
Some kind of standalone ECU either a haltec or a Wolf3d
9lbs Flywheel
centerforce clutch
Of course a good flowing exhaust
But I do not know if this setup is suitable for drifting. Any help would be appreciated

well Before I thought i sold it I put all new suspension components under it. They were all stock but i iked the feel. Besides it appears to me that american drifting is about 3 things. 1.How a japanese car will never win 2.Excessive amounts of power lets you be a pro 3. one word side brake. LOL but yes suspension will be adressed do you have any sujestions.

yeah i know that most of the judges are japanese but a single japanese car has not won a single event. Kinda funny right. But neways I know suspension is important but wo should i go with. I like my suspension to be a little loose its just the way i like it. but back to the point a turbo that spools well is a good idea. but what is a good brand. Also for the suspension I have been looking into a tein brand nebody have ne experince with this system
