oh and the reason for those parts is to experiment…..one can only dream…and follow them …and i would straight pipe it to have that bad boy roar out 3 1/2 or 4 inch pipes!!!it would put on a good show :)i know i would trip out to see this monster roar down the run way ………….
I would have to say if I were to build my ultimate drift car to race in Formula D, I would take a 1989-1994 nissan 240sx s13 coupe with a silvia front, drop in a Lexus 1jz-gte with greddy 72trim turbo,with a w56 tranny, BC custom rated coils, 12k/10k, full BN Sports kit, jet stream blue sitting nice and flush on some 18×9, 18×10.5 Leon Hardiritt Ordens, wrapped in Falken 452 rubber for the best grip sideways. I would upgrade all the brakes with wilwood calipers and pistons, as well as a PBM hydro-e brake to get loose.
As far as why I would choose this car, I feel nowadays the drift scene here in the states is being overrun by american muscle and v8s, I would love to see more grassroots style cars like 240s, rx7s, miatas, smaller, more agile cars that have been amazing for drifting since it was originiated. I would love to see drifting take a turn more similar to japans style,more along the lines of missile cars. not caring what the car looks like, as long as your having fun.
The ultimate drift car would be a Dodge Challenger powered by Roush Racing V8 Nascar engine on Falken tires. If I could pick an exhaust it would be whatever Conrad was using in Atlanta a few years back.. the red Corvette. 🙂
You know, as far as I am concerned I wouldn’t mind drifting any car, but in my dreams I would love to have:
– 1993 240sx w/ S15 Silvia front end conversion.
– Pearl white paint w/ dark candy apple trim.
– Stock body kit
– Tomei powered RB25DET
– Garrett Turbo
– Fully gutted
Truthfully I wouldn’t wish for much but the minimum and would be completely happy with it, just because it would be something fun, nothing too serious because thats what drifting is about, fun and friends over all.
Well if i had about 30k to build a drift car it would probably be a siliva s15 with a rb26dett swap tomei powerd fully forged motor, balanced crank, running on dunlop’s (255/40/r17) with volks TE37’s, tein adjustable suspension, would probaly put the car a dark purple!!:p
I would drift in a Nissan Skyline!!!enough said 🙂
my ultimate drift car would be a rear wheel drive converted Evo 8 with a 2JZGTE single turbo swap. the reason i would choose this is because it will definately be cool to see and it brings diversity in the type of car that it is.
*make it RWD & EVERYTHING DRIFT! ha!
I would choose a 1989 mazda rx7 turbo ll, it would be red with black and chrome graphics. I would love to have a four rotor under the hood, becuase the sound of a rotary is like nothing else it sounds amazing. Id also love if I was involved with everythingdrift! Id deffinitley have a sticker from you guys on my car! Id also love Tein suspension and Falken tires. If only dreams could come true!
I would drift anything that can get sideways and the FD would allow me to.
Id love to have a 1977 Nissan 280z. The classic body lines look amazing, it would be white with silver graphics. I would probably put a small block v8 from chevy into it. Id also love if everythingdrift stickers were on my car! Supporting an amazing drifting media company!
I would tap the B-E-A utiful ass of the Bugatti Super sport against the wall and tickle the fence with the automatic wing as I lay fat strips of the blackest rubber you’ve ever seen. Just because I could. The amount of thick white smoke pouring from the tires would change the forecast that day from sunny to overcast. That’s my dream drift car.
Daigo Saito’s Lexus SC430!!!!
well if i had to choose it would be a gtr34 nissan skyline. rear wheel drive of course. with 600hp.
Gonna cut straight into it, my favorite car would have to be a Nissan 370z,I have a Nissan altima and love it, why I would run it in formula d
, because it looks awesome and you can easily get a ton of angle and still be able to control the car in a drift
1972 camero that Mike peters built wuth ls1 and magnacharger…..or a fox body mustang
I love my s13 hatch to death but if I had to choose a dream car to drift in Formula D I would choose an s14 with an rb25 NEO single turbo. I want to get in on the garrett turbo v8 hunter action haha.
My ultimate drift car. A fully drift built 03, 04 hard top Cobra, with that sweet sound of a twinscrew supercharger under it’s hood as it drifts around the track. That’s my ultimate drift car…
My ultimate drift car would be a 1990 Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon. I would paint it matte white and anodize ever suspension, brake, and engine part purple. It would have a one off set of Rotiform wheels. 18×10’s up front and 18×13’s in the rear. They would be running a set of Yokohama AD08’s. Interior would be gutted with a purple cage and leather Recaro seats upfront with Sparco harnesses. I would pull the motor and replace with a new Supercharged LS9 from a ZR1. I could go on but I think you get the idea. Cheers.
