For everyone that's jumping to the comments saying I'm wrong about the camber thing - you're right. Oops. Lol

[@Daniel-RunToRoyal]

Drifting a stock 7M?!?! Wow, this guy is nuts!! 💪🏽

[@ibm_businessman6033]

Oil pump failure incoming

[@ruffraff4697]

@@ibm_businessman6033 is it common?

[@ianspeckmaier9565]

That Supra is in excellent shape. Listen to how nice the door shuts at 1:50. Anyone who's owned one will know, lol

[@afro8573]

Its no secret. Ive sold mine. I ponder regularly about the value of life now.

[@milespruitt3839]

My buddy let me drive his for a few days before he sold it. I cried when that car got sold 6k i didn't have. I feel empty without it

[@bsavage5128]

I learned to drift in a Crown Victoria so I don't mind drifting a heavier car like my 3700lb MK3... but I would never risk it... that's what the 240s used to be for 😅

[@heyitsjay7673]

As a mk3 owner I can confirm it goes negative not positive

[@DoctoredGarage]

Neato thanks!

[@kriscarr8932]

I actually got negative camber when I lowered my mk3

[@DoctoredGarage]

You're like the 3rd person that's said this, makes me really want to go get one on an alignment rack again. I wonder if there was something wrong with the one that I was working on years ago lol

[@kriscarr8932]

My guess could be the lowering kit too

[@DoctoredGarage]

I was thinking that on Evan's car here, he addressed any issues with the control arms he installed.

[@JerryJrsGarage]

Awesome video. Looks like he’s having a blast with the car too! So are the Targa top cars useless for drifting then because of the potential flex? More videos on this set up would be cool

[@DocDucky]

If you weld a full cage in it it helps with targa flex

[@ianspeckmaier9565]

The targas are reinforced on the bottom, but they weigh a lot more.

[@Purpose_Bilt]

They also make or at least made a brace for them that replaced the top.

[@TWCAAO]

This was the first chassis I chose. 💕

[@enigmaPL]

I've owned mine since 2007. Love it and wouldn't trade it for the world. The values are climbing quickly these days. The secret is out. :(

[@Designer_TopG]

You need slick tires to drift right? Slick smooth tires. So they don't grab on the ground

[@DoctoredGarage]

It's more of a balance. You don't want no grip, you also don't want too much grip.

[@justinortega7409]

Wrong, suspension definitely goes negative front and rear, I know because I have a slammed mk3 supra

[@DoctoredGarage]

What mods have you done to slam it? I'll see if I can find one locally and slap a camber gauge on it. If I'm wrong, that makes these cars a bit more viable :)

[@ImReelySuqi]

Holds up well stock. That's petty cool to see

[@61936]

I mean it is a pretty Japanese build because in Japan they drift like basically stock cars

[@rarrdy]

Although true, don’t think mk3s were drifted much since they’re a GT car

[@Purpose_Bilt]

@@rarrdyI didn't see any while I was there. But we only had two tracks around. S chassis and JZ chassis were plentiful.

[@ethanretemyer2600]

At 7:26 when Evan waves his hand I knew everything he said was going out the window

[@DoctoredGarage]

😆😆

[@FinesseForward69]

Listening to Collie Buddz? Respect

[@Lowspirit_aaron]

No, speaking from personal experience 😅

[@Lowspirit_aaron]

Also the camber goes negative under compression. If you lower them, you get negative camber. Idk who started that rumor lol

[@alcyon2sp]

No thats wrong, it goes negative as you compress the suspension. Jack on the arm and observe.

[@DoctoredGarage]

That's what it should do ideally. But that's not what happens on the MK3 Supra, I believe it's due to the control arm length. It might be fixed on Evans car, I dunno.

[@DoctoredGarage]

Maybe I mixed up front and rear? It's been a long time since I've worked on an MK3 Supra. I just remember going "wtf that's dumb" when I was working on a buddy's years ago.

[@alcyon2sp]

@@DoctoredGarage i own one and it doesnt do that. It never goes negative. It goes negative as you lift the car or lower it.i think you read it off a blog

[@DoctoredGarage]

If I can get access to one locally I will happily make another video showing the camber change on compression.

[@DoctoredGarage]

For racing, the basic ideal concept is that camber goes negative under compression. If it never goes negative under compression (when lowering the car), that's usually a bad thing.

[@FiveSeven2JZ]

Evan is so tall I'm suprised how he can fit in the MK3 Supra. 😄

[@61936]

Suprised he can fit in a car

[@tonyhallakabajan2jzmk3]

You'd be surprised, they have good leg room, I'm 6'5 400lbs and I fit in mine pretty good, have another friend who was 6'7 (RIP), and his mk3 was his daily for yrs lol

[@ianspeckmaier9565]

The mk3 is the secret big boys car. They are huge on the inside

[@milespruitt3839]

At 6'2 i enjoyed the stock seats but he has a bucket which without a doubt sits lower

[@Purpose_Bilt]

I've got two of em. One targa and one not. Negative under compression. Positive under decompression. My 89 is that same damn brown interior wise. My 88 is damn blue. Targas are about 70-80 lbs heavier.

[@borregoayudando1481]

"secretly"

[@DoctoredGarage]

👀👀

[@yourmomsaman]

He said cheep 😆 🤣

[@DoctoredGarage]

I watched a 1jz swapped MK3 with r154 sell for $6k the other day 🤷‍♂️ lol

[@yourmomsaman]

@@DoctoredGarage I guess it is all about where you live

[@DoctoredGarage]

That's true. In general though, MK3s aren't that highly sought after. Turbo MK3s are more sought after and are usually a lot more than what Evan paid for his 😆 he got his for a steal haha

[@jacksonedward7245]

Out here in LA a well kept, well cared for, close to stock turbo manual can go for over $20k

[@DoctoredGarage]

There's one across town from me in AZ that needs a new turbo for $6500 🤷‍♂️
