My problem when i drift

[ZcarSX]

back in high school i had a 1987 ford turbo coupe 3800lbs and 260hp 325lbs torque 24psi. off the stock turbo and intercooler. I could hit 150 pretty quick but the car was too heavy without a ebrake to drift i will admit that the 8.8 lsd rear end was really good for 75+ mph powerslides on some freeways and 40+ powerslides on country highways. but an lsd makes a huge difference.

One wheel wonders dont go sideways.

Lol man this thread kills me. Thanks everyone who gave informative advice. I shoulda thought about making this thread beforehand. About a week after i posted this thread i slapped on that weldy i had laying around. & i understood the BIG difference. & as for the person who talked about my cheap shitty coils, i already know that. But i got it as a gift so i couldnt complain. Im not gunna spend more money on coils until these blow out on me.

Op said it, this thread was pointless.
Now may any "open diff drifters" read this (assuming they know how to search) and avoid the embarrassment of such elementary posts.

Yeah like stated before the main problem is the diff... If its not a solid diff that's transfering power equally to both wheels your always going to either have traction on the rears or just one wheel will spin and the other will try to grip.

Id say a welded diff is the most cost effective way to get started. Personally i know alot of welders and they are good friends and do this stuff for me for free. Id say however that arc welding the diff is probably the best way because its a very strong weld. The guy that did mine used his arc welder on my diff years ago, and when he was finished it literally looked like the inner teeth were actually melted together instead of just weld sitting ontop of them. Still solid to this day.

Welding a diff is a style of drifting, open diff isn't pointless. Theres fundamentals to driving. If I could drift all day with a open diff I would, otherwise I'd buy a lsd. My s series is a down car so I get to play with a welded.

I'm gonna call b.s.

While you can slide an open diff, its not easy, and its not fun. Most people spend more time struggling than learning.

also, nice job bumping an old thread.

Trying to drift an open diff is counter productive. The car's natural tendency is to straighten itself out when the inside wheel slips and power goes to it.
