hi guys. Just got myself a mk1 mx5 (eunos) with the intention of it becoming a car i can go do drift days in, but also track if i want. so far it's got coilovers, 13 inch compomotive wheels, and a VLSD (picture in my avatar). the VLSD does work surprisingly well, and the car will do donuts and the like, but this'll probably get changed for a welder fairly soon. hope to see some of you around.
Super overdue update! So I've almost had the car a year now. As it stands it now has: Welded differential TR Lane roll bar Bride brix recliner Momo comp 350mm steering wheel Bomex side skirts New waterpump, cambelt ect. (Doesn't count really) More 13 inch wheels (appliance mesh) Buuuut, more importantly I did a drift day or 3 ☺️ First day at Rockingham was excellent,but the VLSD made transitions...intresting so that was swapped out for the welded diff. Second day at Rockingham was also great. Got my first taste of drifting with other poeple. Then a month later, to pod for DWYB. I had planned to do Rockingham again this month, but failed to get a ticket Car wise, I've got some ns2rs to go up front to try to eliminate understeer, and some destroyordie hubs to increase lock, but I'm in no rush to fit them. Can't wait to get back out and do another practice day ☺️ {} {} {} {} {} {} {}
this might be overdue information i dont know but try and remove the swaybar up front (i dont know if you did) it helped me surprisingly good! a guy here told me to and never regret it since! the fun looks real in the pics!!
I havnt removed it. I might try it one day tho, I've had friends say the same thing. Yes it's so fun to slide as you have to enter corners really fast lol.
i know the cars are fun haha i'd like to have a more "slow" and tecnical way of drifting tho but for now this will do. its a fun way to learn
On your drift days were you running the power stock mostly? I ask because I'm tempted to get an mx5 myself for a first time drifter
Yep completely standard 1.6. still has AC haha. mine is an eunos roadsater tho so has 115bhp from factory.
