Great pics from Automass. It was also looking great at US AIR. Makes me want to practice and push my 8 much further.

Do any of you drifters have any steering angle upgrades/mods? I can't find any for the RX-8. Note: my 8 is also my daily.

Not too sure what you are getting at about that question but yea I keep my cars aligned since I drive them all the time and run lots of front camber.

Sorry for not specifying enough. I meant to ask if you had your 8 aligned in a way that gives you more steering angle. I understand you have a lot of negative camber. What about caster and toe? Also, what settings do you run in the back?

You lack knowledge. Here's a few tips hangout with friends that drift and ask about there setups. Just drive your car at local drift events learn from there and see what you think you need to change or improve on. Last thing stock steering angle is all you need for starting out.

I'm not just starting out. I know I will tune as I go along. I just wanted an idea for when I get an alignment for my 8. I won't take them exactly. I'll ask for what I want, but also adjust a little more towards your setup if I'm not sure about something. I don't know any other 8 drifters to familiarize setups with; everyone runs 240SX's around here--go figure. I actually would like to have more steering angle because I hit full lock a lot and you can never have enough angle anyway.

Nothing special bud. I run 0* toe on all 4 corners. Obviously running some aggressive toe out would help with angle to a certain extent but I drive this car almost every day roughly 40 miles to work and back.
I always run a good alignment, even with all the front camber I run I rarely go through front tires.

Alright sorry to stir up the pot. Mines setup like my old 240 which i daily drove as well. 0* toe all around, -4 camber all around thats just an estimate on 215/40s
