That's what I'm waiting for, Forza 3. Mazdamaniac is going to camp out the night before to get it.

Thanks roger, awesome price bro!

I can vouch for this - i personally like your audio setup - clean sound IMO. no dragging bass, clean punch.

My track 8 is about 450hp. I can't really track it effectively going over that. I know others have but i'm troubleshooting my own suspension setup.

my drift 8 tho is about the same but the gearing is way retarded. lol. 3rd gear is my magic gear

that's why it's kinda nice being the only crook on my block i don't have to worry about people tryin' to jack the shiestiest person in the neighborhood. lol.


seriously tho, get used to the ghetto check and be prepared to either whoop someone's *** at 2am in the morning or have 911 on speed dial. GLW your situation bro - hope they don't come up on your stuff. Also, from now on, i wouldn't pull into your block either revving or bumpin' music w/your tv's on. Just lay it low when you come into your block to decrease chances.

I think my 8 has about 630 hp. It's a little difficult to drive. Just have to turn the diff down to about 15% on the lock up. Keeps the rear end on the track at least. A lot less wheel spin coming out of the corners.
But if your drifting,, Lock that bitch to 98%.

How's the rear suspension set up? Add some toe in in the back. Raise the tire pressure to about 40 and go for it.
Front should be about 34PSI in the tires, 5 on pos. camber and about .4-.5 degrees of toe out.
If I remember correctly.

ah damn it mike!

remind me tomorrow! i'll jump online and send you all my info. I'm tellin' you i almost have that thing down

i originally started with the suggested drift setup but then tweaked the gearing and the power output (only makin' around 300-400hp) and my 86 is the same, i think it might even still be NA (only puttin' out like 150hp) both are slide happy tho

Toe settings!! that's exactly what i've been messing with

i was reading it on the forza forums and i'm trying to full understand it's concept. I have the correct camber and psi settings but i was still confused on my toe settings

it's been a love/hate relationship w/my drift 8 setup. I love the entry speed and angle i can get it in, but i'm havin' problems keeping it?? It's killin' me...
