gen1 drift kit

[bigbhp]

hi guys what exactly do i need to drift my gen1? is it just different rear tyres or motor upgrades etc too? cheers guys any help appreciated

[Calsonic-Skypra]

i just put my stock tyres on the front and some selotape on the back ones, with a stage 1 motor, thats all i used at first, but get a motor upgrade and fets if u need, and a drift kit (tyres) thats oh! and dont forget BEARINGS

[vietazndude]

dont forget AWD

[civic_guy]

Metal bearings
AWD
Stage 2 motor (the more torque the better)
The plastic drfiting tires OR the hard rubber tires (depends what surface you plan to drift on)

and LOTS OF PILLOWS AGAINST THE WALLS!!! LOL im jk but seriously do it ina big area if you haven't drifted before cuz you will run into stuff in a small area.

i didnt n i got mine drifting (AWD) any way, u could always just put tape over the tyres lol its cheeper, but if u dont car about the price then get drift kit lol i started off with tape over the tyres lol

[civic_guy]

Drift tires really aren't that expensive...but ur right you dont NEED them...you don't need AWD either but all those things make it a lot easier and more enjoyable to drift imo

ok thanks guys was looking at drift tyres on xmods international around £7 delivered to me in uk so not bad.

also is it possible to drift on smooth carpet?

[Thriller]

you can drift on carpet. there is a whole thread about that if you need to find out more about it.....so what will you do to your car then ?

[bigbhp]

well ive taped over the rear tyres for now to get practice in but ill go with the awd, stage 2 motor upgrade and drift tyres soon

dont spose you got link for the carpet drifting thread?

[kataklysm]

you don't really need awd for drifting
you just need some hard tires and a better motor with torque
suspension upgrade will help

[skl1cent]

dude the tape on the wheels is exactly what i did!!!! even b4 I read this. I got my Xmod like a week ago SCion TC. and Yea I used that tape thing works good haha, i used the see through tape . Works nicely .

Depending on where you're drifting, you can always use the black electrical tape over your stock tires.

Sorry to go off topic, but those who're driftin their Evos, are you using Gen1 drift wheels? Did they even make Evo drift wheels?

ok the gen1 drift wheels. they have been carried over to the evo. they fit on both.

[kataklysm]

does the drift tires really help??

[ferrarip4.5]

ya their plastic pretty much

[REDisFASTER]

Yeah, they're supposedly "hard rubber" but really hard rubber has similar properties as plastic, so yeah.

I know the gen1 drift kit was carried over, but they should make one for the Evo specifically, since the gen1 drift wheels are so small

[musclecars4life]

i like the look of the drift tires on my cars. they are awesome to drift with too.

[REDisFASTER]

Yeah, I love the fact that RS used 5Zigen's FN01R-C wheels. They look great... I just wish they made a larger diameter one for the Evos, since they look like 15's if you scale them up, while stock Evo wheels are comparable to 17's

[musclecars4life]

yeah they should be bigger, but i guess that would raise the price of them. they do look like 15s. i wish you could fit a 20"rim on the evos, that would look tight!

You should try an LSD (limited slip differntial), also instead of using plastic tires, try using a really big, torquey (Is this a word?) motor and rubber tires (AM's drift tires) dift like real cars do.

Or you could just get AWD, some plastic wheels and the annoying sound of plastic on wood flooring.
