BEST BEGINNER DRIFT CAR BUILD (Setup and Mods)

[@HaugenRacing]

Moral of the story is focus on safety and the essentials. Modify your car as you gain experience. Get out on the track! 💯

[@serpentires]

Safety 3rd but still so important

S13 is my favorite car the sedan version and a pop up and f bumper swap is how I like it 🤤 thanks

My country, Iran, thanks to the government's poor foreign policies leading to huge sanctions, is going through a huge economical crisis. It's hard to afford even a crapy domestic car (you have no idea how awful they are in all aspects). So, buying a decent car is somehow an achievement in and of it itself, let alone buying an old used JDM or maybe a muscle car that can be built into a drift car. All of the domestic cars are FWD, so you can't even drift to start with. All that said, I still love watching you guys' videos. It keeps me motivated towards my dreams, dream cars, and that kinda cool stuff, although I know I'm probably never gonna get there. So thank you! Keep up with the videos. PEACE.

[@adambucek2138]

Dont worry someone like you will fullfill their dreams💥👍. I am from slovakia and it is not easy here too so i am kinda in the same situation... that said you just have to believe do what you love move to a different country and fullfill your dream👍😄. PEACE

Can you do a breakdown on tires? As far as what profiles and pressures you should be running at a certain power level. I drive a stock n/a 300zx and usually come here for suggestions on what to change lol. Love the content bro keep it up.

[@DCU_]

Great idea for a series for the channel: DRIFT CAR BUILD OFF, series consists of 2 or more teams being put head to head to build fun drift cars (not FD level or anything), in a short period of time (a couple of weeks/ a month) with both teams being set the same budget (10-15k) budget would be for getting a car and all the parts and everything for the builds, great way to fund everything is by having the series sponsored by a tool company which will constantly be on show as their tools get used, as well as using parts from specific websites (e.g. drift hq etc). At the end of the series have the cars go to a drift day have the teams talk about anything they would have done differently and let the cars be judged by 5 judges in a point based system on categories such as (style, drivability, etc) and the team with the most points receives a trophy

[@AwkwardAF2007]

When you say “these parts aren’t too expensive” I have 2000 dollars in the bank, what could I do with that🤣🤣🤣

[@socksonfeet8125]

You didnt touch on how fast tires wear out and where to find cheap tires, I hear thats where all the money goes up in smoke, literally up in smoke.

I bought a fire extinguisher when I turbo'ed my street Miata. A month later a GTR R35 caught fire in the rear at a car show, and I was the only one in the vicinity that had a bottle. Saved some dude's 120k car, didn't even get a thank you #feelsgoodman

[@thiagof.7356]

hey so I'm a senior bout to college later this year where I'm gonna get a degree in mechanical engineering. My dream/goal right now is to one day build a drift team that'll be well known throughout the world, obviously id be drifting too and I wanna be one of the top yk (Hella inspired from initial D)? but also open up a business where I can design and sell drift parts so I can make drifting and just motorsports in general more easily accessible and cheaper for everyone. lol right now I don't necessarily know how to drift, ik kinda crazy😅. but I'm 18 and it's something I really want to do. My friend takes me drifting though in his skyline all the time and every single time I have a blast which is partly why I want to do it. I can't really drift the way I want right now cuz I drive a automatic G35 but I work on it all the time so I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to fixing or changing parts on a car, I don’t know everything doe. I don’t know why I wrote this now, I guess I just wanted your feedback/tips lmao. Right now I'm just someone passionate about cars who grew up watching Initial D, but I want to really revolutionize drifting and motorsports in general and help people in the process, really big dream ik... also luv your vids 🥵

[@sfcoawol6273]

Thanks for covering this topic I've definitely been overthinking it. Have an old mustang I was going to start to build for drifting a few weekends a year here at a local track. Was glad to see you cover the suspension.. would you say that adding a coil over conversion to say bilsteins be a good quality shock on a budget or should a guy stick to true coil overs?

[@hellb0y792]

Or just put bucket seat in it so you're not all over the place and weld the diff? How does this sound? When you get better just put coilovers on it than lock and you're sorted out. Check Jordan Tweedie channel where he does machine chceck on good japanese drifters, all they have is cut knuckles, coilovers, bucket seat and more power(Some of them still running below 300hp). You dont need all that nonsense to have fun on the track and do some close tandems. The key is to make the car reliable so you can get as much practise as possible. PS Excuse my shitty english :x
