1#. If your know what you're doing and have the right tools it shouldn't be too hard.

2#.Yup that's pretty much it.

3#.400+hp on an SR takes much more than bolt ons lol (Ebay can also screw you in the ass lol)

4#.http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/search.php

5#.There's a section/forum here for buying and selling, ebay? local newspapers?

good luck

You won't have all that stuff, I'm telling you right now.

just a tip, if you want to be drifting, dont be trying to make the car look nice. You will be crashing, not matter what anybody says, you will crash. And i wouldnt worry about 400-500hp, because if you were able to get that you wouldnt be asking us how. Drifting way would be to get an LSD, coilovers, and a basic SR setup with minor bolt ons (intake, exhaust, FMIC, T28 turbo, etc).

[FattyK21]

naw i am not really asking yall how to get 400+ HP i already kinda know and have help for that already
mostly i was just wondering about the body modifications and stuff
just wanted to see what yall were thinking

and yeah i know that i will need that LSD, and coilovers and stuff

ive been a big drifting fan for a while now i just want to do it for real
ive got a couple friends that like the auto cross and road courses and stuff like that but they wanna try drifting too so itll be fun with a couple guys too

[Hit_N_Run-player]

yeah its fun and all, but the reason signal has really nice looking cars and drifting is because they rarely crash, and can afford it. I would either pick between a nice street car thats quick, or a semi stock body car that drifts good.

[sidewayzS13]

yea man im gunna strongly suggest that you hold off on alot of the body mods for a while. get your 400hp or whatever even though that much power is not really needed in order to drift but if thats your goal then go for it. as far a s15 front end goes though someone make a conversion kit s13 to s15 so thats not to hard. i stya away from e bay for most parts. suspension sold on e bay is normally shit and watch out for the "freddy" parts. and ive also heard a lot of people making fake tein suspension shit but tein sucks for coilovers anyways. back to the body be careful cause if u go wild on the body then start to get serious into drifting you will fick up the body have u ever noticed how many drifters are missing front bumpers and shit like that just think about it be wide w/ your money

[FattyK21]

about the taillights
i want to get the JDM 180 KOUKI TAILS
and just want to know if those are direct replacements for the stock ones
i mean do they just bolt right up or is there any mods you have to do to them??

and damn are they expensive as those S15 headlights

[sidewayzS13]

yes direct bolt to a hatch. and no they arent as expensive but they arent cheap. i think you want more of a show car then a drift ar though you seem to cherish F&F to much

[sidewayzS13]

oh and another thing FAQ and google will be your friend as well as phase2motortrend enjuku racing and heavy throttle perhaps. and then you might need about 15k not including the car

[D-Bo]

hahaha slidestar, that was the first thing i thought too!!

as for this magical drift car, don't spend money on a s15 conversion until you know how to drift. don't even mod your engine till you know how to drift. hit n run got it right on. you WILL crash if you become a drifter. you can't do anything about that. not even argue. find a s13 with an engine and shitty body, learn to drift AND THEN build a car. don't think the signal drivers learned how to drift in those $20,000 s13s. i know r.w. had a sweet suspension setup, which obviously will make just as much of a difference as a more powerful engine will. so instead of building an engine, try building the suspension setup first so that you know how a proper drift setup feels like

hahahaha
fuk fast and the furious
and i am having a show truck built at the moment so i def dont want a show car too
but like i said before i love drifting but i also want to have a tight ass car like the signal guys do so thats why i want the S15 front and kouki tails

does anyone live in or near the RALIEGH / DURHAM N.C. area that drifts ???

[D-Bo]
