Apr 12, 2006 · the stock clutch was weak, as well as the steering angle, but you absolutely didn't need anything extra to drift around happily with it. screw japanese chasers, gs300s, cefiros.... the e39 m5 is an amazing 4 door that you can buy for mid 20s now, that is awesome stock. i'm going to pick one up eventually again and use it as a drift car.

Jan 7, 2011 · moment of inertia - the taller the wheel (15" 17" 19") the more force it takes to turn/spin it. this means if your low power, you dont want 18" wheels to try to spin. similar with width, more weight = heavier = harder to spin. also, your "final gear" is the tire, a smaller tire will increase your acceleration and lower your top speed. a …

Dec 18, 2003 · Let's consider 2 cars with the same specifications, car A having RWD and car B having AWD. When accelerating from a stand-still, car A will be sending 100% of the power to the rear wheels only. Granted that car A has the ability to load the tires beyond their capacity, it will break the traction circle and spin the rear wheels.

If you don't have enough, you run the risk of spinning out quite easily. While drifting, you're already using up a bit of the steer angle just to hold the drift. You do want some room around this angle to allow manipulation of the car during the drift. If you are too limited by the max steer angle of the car, you limit the manipulation you can do.

But, because of reduced grip, there is a dropoff point when these benefits become useless and, in fact, damaging to your speed and possibly to your car. Yet another reason to drift slightly is weight transfer throughout the contact patch. Yes, weight transfer throughout the contact patch.

Well I drive a domestic so I doubt a parts/price listing would be usefull to you. But just for comparison's sake, total cost when complete will be $9,500 including the cost of the car. So far I'm @ $5,300 ... but still putting the car back together. A SR20 should not be your first mod if you want to drift that S13. LSD should be your first mod.
