Hi to all, i'm from barcelona(Spain) and i'm just a newbie at drifting. Some months ago i just purchased my first rwd car to practice the art of sliding. I'm a fan of the cosworth badge, so i looked for a 3dr sierra.It isn't a cosworth but i think is better for me now, so i can practice till i'm quite confident drifting and then i can swap all the cosworth goodies into it. So i went to my first drift practice at a track day that some friends organized.It was full of FWD cars and some were scared of my driving LOL . The car is full stock at the moment, with some parts being 20year old or older as you can see in the pictures.Inmediate plans are welding the diff ( a must really!! ) and getting some stiff suspension for it, so i can practice better.The only modification yet is an OMP wheel and touring spec headlamps I will update the thread as modifications go on. So go on with the pics!! To the end of the morning a water hose broke , so the car was towed home..
Awesome, love 3drs. Touring car spec headlamps, yeah, its a good look, lol, did it to mine tooo, lol {} Police dont like it tho, suprisingly (looking back, it shouldve been the offset police pulling me over ah well, it was 2002)
Nice little project. Should make for a fun slider! You were doing well drifting in an almost stock car with an open diff, haha. Can't wait to see some progress. Good luck.
Nice evolution since this day: I want to see you making twin drifts with that car ASAP !! PS: Tramper !!!
Update!!!!!! I have booked in for a track day next december so i went doing some things on the car. First of all, welding the diff!! My friend , who I obligated to wake up at 10' on a sunday to begin welding Hope it lasts...I gave it some action and it did well for the moment!! Then I looked into reinforcing the diff mount with some metal and screws, to stop the diff from moving too much thanks to 21 years old bushings. Lastly, I installed some poly exhaust hangers.Look what happened to the stock ones at the other track day, they all cracked. Will update with more things I must do, like adapting some fiesta recaro seats and doing the washers mod for more castor.Maybe post up some vids of streeto(on private track of course).
nice one! looks that you had a pretty good time there! and the cat doesnt seem to wobble that much...as i see in the pics...cool! good luck with it man! adam
Haha! Nice project here mate! I am surprised sierras can drift so well on the dry without a diff, good work!
Hehe! Sound`s exactly like my 360 You should get all the non usable stuff out of it, i lost almost 100kg on my 360with removal of sound deadening, rear seats etc And sierras are known for a soft chassis, so some stiffing of that will do it good too! Alot of peopole are turboing those IS engines over here, achiving some nice hp figures... Do it!
I must concentrate myself in improving my skills, rather than looking for more power! As for chassis mods go, yes, anything cheap and that helps the drift is welcome here!
Well some updates: My friend meintag just got me some quite new Koni's with HR springs for very little money!So i just put the 22 year old suspension to trash! I also put some washers to get some more castor.It actually works good!! And just adapted some recaros.Sorry for the pic.. Now it just feels like a car!!
