Drifting a`VR4

[Blackmount]

wrong thread to post this in idk butttt.....


It can be done, it has been done, and I want to do it.

buy a vr4 shell\titleless vr4, and go from there.

My biggest hang up has been the drivetrain, I know in the DSM world, people have welded the center diff, and removed front axles and just put nubs in the trans for the front, and the rest of the drivetrain remained intact for the most part. I could do similar i suppose, but I want to do something a little more...on a professional level i guess you could say.

Anyone have such info? or suggestions. Hate on it if you like.

Here's a good vid of a GTO doing a little bit of drifting first one is best IMO.

You're going to run into a problem getting more angle into our front end...otherwise it's going to be a pretty weak show compared to the popular cars to use.

yeah but it'll be fun to take to practice drift days, and amateur event's. just to burn off some rubber\aggression\stress


I'm not talking about drifting on a professional level, just building a decent car.

That doesn't look like it has any power to the front axle any more. Personally I don't see why our AWD cars couldn't drift with the right tires and suspension. Just look what Ken Block does in an AWD Subaru.

I'd prefer RWD\100% power to the rear end.

a big thing about drifting awd is how the power is divided between the front and the back.

kenblock also has a shit ton of money tied in to his cars, i am thinking just a few k's at most and be done with it.

The 3s wasnt engineered with drifting in mind at all,but it would be sweet to a 3s drift car competing at a high level like d1..but i doubt it would ever happen lol

[Blackmount]

i don't think there were many cars that were... lol I'm not talking about D1 or FD lol i'm talking about open drift days where you 50-150$ for an all day pass to do drifting locally. not competitive at all

I so want to see him do a chase scene in a movie like the Italian Job.

3SGTO’s 1st I want to do a RWD conversion thread! I think this is the 1st anyway


You’re going to catch some crap with a thread like this because so many have said they were going to do it but pretty much never do. This is something you’re better off doing then posing about.


If you had a way to transfer say 80% of the power to the rear wheels I think you would be better off. Maybe Supercar could build a custom center diff or something? Anyway I know you already said you pretty much want to go RWD only so if you want the most out of it I’d say turn the engine. People have done it before so I think you can find info to give you some tips on how to do it. I’ve even seen kits before but they were pretty generic. Good luck
