I do practice. In the rain for sure and when no one is around on dry. It mostly just amounts to power slides though :(

Clutch kick it to hold it out more. Dont let the revs drop to much
Watch these videos And of course drift bible Watch them carefully and see what there doing and technique they use. First two video's they use E-brake and clutch kicking |
Yoko, i don't know you... but you are awesome! I've got to make it down to evergreen speedway they have $35 open drift days 11a to 6p
|
Thank you! And no prob i support the rx8 drift community. Just think prople who drift should post up there set ups.And help each other out. The rx8 isnt the easiest car to kick out sideways.
|
well i have some friends with na fc' s drifting really good. They run small tire widths and keep the revs. my goal is to drift two events here on east coast. I'm thinkin of running 215/40s all around with some negative camber all around.
|
I wish coilovers weren't so pricey for the 8, I've purchased race set ups for other cars used $400 . Well I'm starting a good job in July so hopefully all the good stuff will follow.

|
yeah thts my idea when i try it ill let u know how it works for me.
|
Sounds good have you changed the suspension? My next mod gonna need is a kaaz 2 way or tomei t trax 2 way. Heard both good. I just dont know about the oil change at 3k miles it gets pricey
|
im just running bc coilovers right now
|
Another Mod you should conciser is a bucket seat if you haven't done it already. It's Much easier to drift when you're not death griping the steering wheel.
|
You have a point there

Well now I'm boned, the 8 won't start. New plugs nothing, started fluid= nothing... battery died so i changed it up... nothing. My poor baby
|
Is the fuel pump kicking on? Is it flooded? Might of flood on your atempt to start it on the first time. Check your coil packs and spark plug wires. Worst come to worst fuel pump or coils. Buy a spark tester.

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-whe...review-165957/ It depends on how serious you are about drifting but, the car is much easier to get sideways with the car stripped. Especially with light weight buckets. |
Well yes that would certainly increase the power to weight ratio as well as reduce force pushing down on the rubber to create grip
|
So I bought a fc.... Found a deal I couldn't pass up. Maybe next time I can have an 8

I love battles I want a set for my Drift 8. How well do they fit? What size offset you have?
|
If ya want I have a full Greddy turbo kit + extras up for grabs may fit the FC, used, still in good condition though. If ya want it 2.5K she's yours.
