    Ok, I picked up an S13 on the weekend, which has been used before to drift. (S14 diff, running around 230bhp, springs etc) Thing is I've had an S13 a fair few years ago (which was running nearly standard power) and though that you could get the arse out alot easier during general driving. I know this is probably alot to do with my technique of just wellying it in a bend but don't really want to mess with some of the drift techniques I've read about on the road.
    I've got a trackday coming up on next Monday and seen as the brakes are being done has anyone got any suggestions to what else I could add to make it a bit easier to drift on the track? :confused:

    hmm,

    I sounds ideal if it's been used before. I think you should practice driving it and do what you think is best to enhance the car.

    Though that said, bucket seats and harnesses are a good thing to get.

    I think that undoing or getting a more loose front sway bar makes the ass come out real nice, but if you are not careful, it bites back real hard. I like the feel of using bald tires and the good ol' handbrake.

    I wish I had 230bhp... 135whp is not very easy to slide for long periods of time...

    I know its a little easier to get it out in the wet, but i reckon its easier to control in the dry? I'd prefer dry road drifting any day :D
