Top 7 Cars to Turn Into Drifters

Posted on by

Do you possess mechanical aptitude? If so, you might enjoy transforming some high-powered sports cars into drifters. Today, the Japanese racing sport of “drifting” has gained popularity around the world. This daring, high- adrenaline activity delights racing fans. In order to entertain crowds, daredevils drive modified sports cars designed to lose traction in the rear wheels when the driver swerves. Mechanics transformed these ordinary, yet powerful, vehicles into supercharged drifting beasts, with their rear slip angle exceeding their front slip angle by a significant margin.


Of course, not just anyone possesses the remarkable hand-eye coordination required to successfully steer a drifter. You’ll require precision driving skills. In addition, you’ll want to begin developing driving maneuvers for this sport with a fairly well-padded wallet to insulate you against life’s occasional hard knocks. Knowing the best base cars for your new sport gives you a strong early advantage. This article identifies the best base models for this sport.

Key Attributes of a Drifter

Experts maintain that the best qualities to render a base vehicle suitable for drifter consideration include.

  • A Lightweight Body

  • Rear Wheel Drive

  • A Manual Gearbox

  • An Engine Packing a Lot of Horsepower

  • Limited Slip Differential (LSD)

  • A Reliable Clutch

  • Modified Suspension and Struts

Since you will want to modify a base vehicle’s original design in order to create your drifter, experts advise paying close attention to issues of weight distribution. A 50:50 ratio between front and rear axles produces superior drifting. You’ll change the car to create your overcharged drifting car, so you’ll need to know the original design thoroughly in order to achieve your desired modifications. Continue reading →

CIRCUIT BREAKER
as originally appeared in TPR Magazine: OCT/NOV 2005 Issue

Over the past decade, the Nissan Silvia has not only achieved cult status among Japanese tuners, but with enthusiasts worldwide. Some may wonder how this car has managed to separate itself from a sea of tuner friendly sport compacts. Perhaps it’s the four cylinder, sixteen valve, turbocharged SR20DET engine. Widely known as having almost unlimited potential, this workhorse gracefully produces 205hp right from the factory.

Maybe it’s the fact that the Silvia is a well balanced, front engine, rear wheel drive chassis, perfect for the competitive motor sports crowd. Those interested in further tuning, have a huge array of aftermarket options, where the parts bins are virtually overflowing with support in performance, suspension, and cosmetic upgrades. Offering some of the sexiest curves that Nissan has ever produced, it may just grab your attention all at once, the same way that it did for Dan Greenbank of San Diego CA. Continue reading →

Extreme Deminsions 350z

Leigh Guarnieri has a problem. He started buying parts for his 2004 350z before he even bought the car. He also drove all the way to Las Vegas to pick up the car with the color and trim options he wanted. He then proceeded to drive the car back to LA to his house where he bolted in a set of seats and rims he had bought used. The car didn’t even stay stock for 24 hours! When you buy a brand new car and you modify it before the first oil change is due, it’s certifiable that you have a problem!!
