Well what is it? No making up stuff (ie; "I wana rwd civic with a rb26dett with a tri-turbo kit running 50lbs of booft making 1500hp)

I would have to go simple: Sil80 with a KAAZ 2-way, SR20 blacktop with simple bolt-ons with a gutted interior with a single carbon bucket. You?

Oh here is a pic of what my dream may look like:

Or am I just being picky? :p Hehehe... I'd still take that FD. ;)

Well, just need to turn this:

I'd take above all that 3 rotor engine:devil: then I would even put a highering kit on it for off road drifting:p

Yea, FC's are awsome. I want one of those too.

Soul Assasin's car is awsome, I think its more setup for drag though, oh and you gotta love that plate! ....7

s15, weight reducted to the shithouse (evenly so it doesnt ruin its perfect weight balance) and nismo tuned for handing.

hey do you know, is that a chopped s15 or did they drop a sr into a varietta?

its not a chop you can actually buy a convertable S15 !!!

hehee..
i saw that drift kids video of the 86 too
pretty amazing

my dream drift car is the NSX
taming that racing line beauty into a drifter would be amazing

Yeah... but it sucks ass... it's non-turbo... why in the world would i need to buy a non-turbo silvia :confused: ...

yea well there are two normal silvia;s

the SPEC S and SPEC R

S is a N/A
R is a Turbo

But you can't get SPEC R in Varietta version... that's my point...

Yea Yea I know, the Varietta, but its a sr20de I think, It looks like they dropped the de-t into it....

probably a MR2 or Lan Evo! :D

you can always put in a SR20DET

altho i wouldn't bother the SPEC R is much better

the so-called monkey magic is a logo/motto from a Japanese tuning shop (Garage Uras). its a monkey in overalls with a wrench (from memory) in its hands.

Hmm, dream drift car... TVR Speed 12.

More realistically, a Citroen Xsara T4 WRC car, short wheelbase, good power, light weight, tenacious grip. :)

This car is just as capable on the street as the track, or a rally circuit.

^^^Did anyone else notice in GT3 that the citroen rally car was FWD? Was that a mistake? :hehe: :hehe: :hehehe: :hehehe:

BTW, what makes the Varietta so special?

no roof:rolleyes:

I thought there was something more to it than that...

The Xsara kit cars are FWD, with 260 hp from a NA 2.0 liter. The T4s are 300hp from a 1.7 I think. Crazy.

I think a S15 Silvia, with a KA24DET. I'm a fan of torque.

If you are a fan of torque how about going for a RB engine?

WOW!..........:finger4:

I like the idea of a VQ35 turbo... 255 hp stock, probably 400 easy with a couple of turbos. S15 silvia with 400hp, and 400lbft set to kick in around 2500rpm. Thats what I want in a 2500 lb Silvia.

URAS means nothing but the reverse SARU means monkey :D

Not neccesarily, jay, i've seen many great high-powered drift cars in option videos that run like 3.5deg in the front with 4.5deg in the back. If you have enough power, you still get lose. I'd bet that its easier to control too. I mean, its better to make it harder to drift than to make your back end slide around like nothing. I wouldnt want to crash an expensive high-powered car, would you? Better safe than sorry.

You might have something there... whats the RB with the lowest peak torque?

I have my eye on this little 2.2 liter Audi 5 cylinder... it makes 260lbft at 1950-4500rpm :eek:

I think running a suspension setup for grip is the best way of doing things. It stays tight for everyday driving, and if something(deer, kid) jumps out on the road when you're hard into a corner, you'll stand a better chance of getting out okay...

If you want to drift, get torque :)

I'd take any driftable car with a 1,500 hp custum engine from www.badassracing.com ...hmmm 3-4 k for a car at the pick and pull + 14,500 for the engine = a 20k car with too much hp:frog:

1500hp is too much power .........

Audi built a Group B (outlawed) Rally car with 1200hp its uncontrollable too much power is a bad thing not a good thing a decent suspension set up and a reasonable and moderate amount of power is better

close ratio gearbox and about 350hp should do it i mean lets face it you're not going to be able to do 200mph and stop again and you need to be able to control it in the corners .

hey u guys think u could drift a nissan 350z ?
it is rwd rite?

well just turbo it (280hp na stock) and then your flyin :)

thats cuz its a URAS CAR YOU JACKASS


i had to bring it up i couldn't help it

Sil-80, Sil-80, Sil-80, Sil-80, Sil-80, S-15, Sil-80......

Also, the Mitsubishi Starion, maybe a Cosmos, a Trueno or two, FC Savanna, my MGB GT (Love ya Layla, even if you need an engine rebuild because of oil blowby in the #3 cylinder) 240Z, R34 Skyline, that car over there, a 1978 Chevy Chevette Scooter (RWD, torquey 4-cyl, solid rear axle, light weight, two doors, narrow tires, kind of sounds like a Hachi-Roku, ne?) First gen MR2, 1969 AMC AMX, FD3S, Renaut R5 Turbo, and finally, a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

PICTURE THAT IF YOU DARE! :angel:

ahhh just did was wimpy


Ford RS200 (outlawed rally car)
Audi Quattro Group B (1000hp outlawed rally caR)
Top Secret S14 - 800hp :devil:
Metro 6R4 (outlawed rally car)

hehe

Lancia Stratos :flipa:

Ah! I wish someday to buy a Ford RS200! Especially an EVO model... 9 second 1/4s! 9 seconds!

I don't remember who the suspension was set up by, but it was a bunch of F1 suspension tuners though.

either cosworth or lotus

Originally posted by NSX-R-SSJ20K

Cosworth built the engines, Lotus was to busy playing with Toyotas (MK1 MR2 anybody).

Under closer investigation, it seems the whole car was designed by Tony Southgate and John Wheeler, who designed Ford F1 cars...

In short, the suspension was tuned for track use as well as offroad, resulting in crazy RX performance.

And you've got to love the clamshell boot and bonnet combo. Sort of like a mini-mini Ferrari F40.

Spekaing of which, that's another car that would be a blast to crank slideways through a Touge run, a Ferrari F40! The truest of all Ferrari supercars. Not much more than a GTP car with a little bit of street legality built in, unlike poser Enzos or F50's that have such useless frivolties like carpeting, sound deadening material, roll down windows, or a headliner. You have got to love the F40's bare carbon fiber floor and the scary way the secondary turbo spools up all at once, breaking the rear tires loose in fourth gear and totally scaring any pantywaist that though that traction control was something other than a well trained right foot.

But then, maybe I'm biased.

I love the AE86 chassis. The only reason I don't have one now (other than thy're impossible to find), is because I just love Honda's too much. But I guess this would be a good compromise!!!!!!!!!!

F20 powered 86
http://mypage.campuspipeline.com/JDMzero/files/katusocchi.jpg

Ah, I've seen that one before I think... unless somebody else has done the swap too...

Strap a super charger on that thing and I'd be happy!!

ahhhhhh :D nice puurrrty

Ha, you don't need a ton of power for downhill racing, 240 is enough :)

I'll take the SBC RX7 for the uphill though

aarrggg i hate the way the page numbers keep messing up

Yeah, it's pretty annoying! My browser just started showing old threads as virgin too :confused:

that happens to me a lot

A ungodly lightened Starion or a 200sx with an RB25 swap.

and whats wrong with an SR?

RB25 whould shift weight towards the front and mess up balance

You think? Ive seen it done on a few cars back in the states and it ungodly but those were more 1/4 boys. Im new to the idea of drifting. Ive mostly been into draggin street cars. If I could only get my starions weight down. That would be a hell of a car in both worlds. The thing handles awsome. Too many things that still need to be done first.

Take various suspension parts from an Audi RS2, a Sport Quattro and a IMSA race car, pick up the engine and drivetrain from an old Audi S1 rally car, fit everything to a Golf GTi monocoque chassis, add carbon fiber body panels, tune the engine to ~950hp and you're done.
"sic AWD drift machine" :D

o sarcasm that was nice. Of course there's no point in suggesting it as a dream drift car then IS THERE?

Phinko no Baka

Well sorry to say but I wasnt being sarcastic I was actually suprised to hear that! Thats actually news to me. Sorry if you took it that way.
