Any info on driveline conversion for drifting? Anyone drift?

[ValvetrainEngineer]

You mean the S2000 conversion? I think it'd work well...

[nero9]

Haven't heard of the s2000 conversion. I assume it's the tranny?

[Nivek]

Do a search lest you get flamed...

Yes, its the transmision.... oh and everything else attached to it. (yeah.... the whole thing...)

[solbergfan]

I'd try the Silvia conversion-parts are cheaper.

Theres a great video on here of a guy in a RWD converted wagon crashing into a tree.

please dont turn you sti into a drift car.......please

[salaki]

It's very easy.

Since drifting is not about speed it's 4 wheel drift style

Go get yourself 4 STi 17" donuts then you can drift the 4 wheel all day long - J/K....

And also prevent you from breaking down the tranny..

They are cheap too :P

[nero9]

No, I don't intend to make it into a drift car. I've just seen a couple of vids over the past few days, so wondered what was involved. Anyone done it?

[jlcool007]

get some snow tires (non studded) that are rated CRAP for the dry season...have fun!

i'd know, ive tried

I'll sell you the tires off my car right now.......there so balled you can't help but slide around.

The only thing you need to do to an STI to drift it is













Learn how to drive it. STIs will do it bone stock with the right driver.
If I was going to mod it specifically for drifting...

Coilovers with at least 10K rates, if not 12k
27mm front sway
heaviest rear sway
Replace every bushing in the back end of the car with as hard of material as possible
Cusco front diff
Cusco (or other brand) rear diff. As agressive locking as I can get
Set DCCD to full rear. leave it there.
Port/polish stock exh manifolds then wrap them
Wrap up pipe, grind transition into it from manifold as smooth as possible
Td06-25G 8cm exh housing Wrap exh housing
Em/exh(catless) Set redline to 8k
Alch injection, running 100% methanol
FMIC, ceramic coat AND wrap pipes
Roll CAGE << MOre stiffness than other braces
Cusco rear under brace
Cusco H brace up front
Cusco strut bar rear+V brace
Weld extension to E brake handle
Disable the button that locks the e brake up
Drivers race seat (HIGH side bolsters, REALLY high)
Cams. Something with a powerband up to 8K
Valve springs


Considering you can drift a stock STI, that setup should do pretty well

that will do it


duct tape does wonders for "disabling" the ebrake handle button...
