Top 7 Cars to Turn Into Drifters

Posted on March 3, 2016 by George

top7_2

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 →

Nostalgic Sunday: 2005 – Extreme Dimensions 350Z

Posted on October 18, 2015 by George
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!!

Throwback Thursday – 2008 Clipping Point: Chris Forsberg

Posted on September 26, 2013 by George

In 2006, Chris Forsberg had a new car, a new title sponsor ( Sears Auto Center), and appeared on the cover of Super Street magazine. However, he also only made top 8 once, and failed to make top 16 twice, and found himself without a sponsor for the 2007 season. From there, Forsberg decided to run as a privateer, picking up Maxxis tires as his lone major sponsor. Forsberg’s 2007 season was iconic for privateers, picking up 2 event wins, a top qualifier award, and 2 nd place overall in the Formula D points. Going into 2008, Chris has signed a title sponsorship with NOS Energy drinks as well as renewing with Maxxis Tires, and looks to be one of the top guns entering 2008 as he returns in the same Titan V8-powered Roadster. We sat down with Chris to recap 2007 and talk about 2008.

Throwback Thursday – 2006 Clipping Point: Alex Pfeiffer

Posted on April 20, 2011 by George
This week’s “Throwback Thursday” is the continuation or part 2 of the Tyler McQuarrie interview we reran last week.  We have known Alex Pfeiffer for a long time now. I have seen him build cars, drift pretty much every car out there with multiple teams. Currently under Megan Racing in a Nissan 350z, this guy gets around and I have always been a fan of him and what he does. Next stop Atlanta after making Top 32 in the first round of Formula Drift. Let’s look back and remember where he was in 2006.

Honda Tuning: How did RS*R recruit you to become their first American driver?
Alex Pfeiffer: Back in 2002, they had the first RS*R Drift Festival in the U.S. at Irwindale, and I won that event. From then on, anytime they needed a driver to do a drifting demo or wanted to have someone test their cars, they always hit me up. We’ve always had a good working relationship, and things just went from there. Continue reading →
