No, you suck at turning. These I beleive were designed for drifting, and the Z and G drift perfectly as is, you don't need anything that drastic unless you are super serious about competative drifting.

 

That's too bad...i figured with the toe arms you were going to set up something.

Any advice on what is a good setup if looking to do some drifting..camber wise and or toe?

 

It's competitive...please show me a video just how perfect the G drifts "as-is" and just let me know how much he sucks at turning has anything to do with the fact that the car can't turn around on a 2 lane street without 3 point K turn.

 

Seriously, someone needs to ban this guy already, all his comments are negative

 

1. There are pleanty vids out there of stock G's and Z's drifting. Half of them that i've seen have been BMI vids, and even G's and Z's drifting with upgraded suspension, most of them only have different dampners and have bigger anti roll bars, not this little mod that was posted.

2. The G is not a small car so of course it will be more difficult to turn around in smaller streets (must apply common sense here), but if you kick out the tail a little bit or even make a bigger arc in your turns for when you flip a bizatch you'll be fine.

 

my point exactly, it's not as is..and I would love to see the drift video you were talking about. And kicking the tail around is not exactly a SOP for turning around, nor does it mean he sucks at it if he doesn't turn that way, I think most would think it's the opposite, try kicking your tail around in a neighborhood, watch what happens.

Surely, if you are trying to make a point that this mod is not "require" to drift, it's valid, but it all goes out the door when you start throwing out nonsense and calling names.

 

no they aren't. You are being rather negative at the moment...A$$

 

I never called any names. You've never heard of the saying "flippnig a (female dog)"? This just means making a U point turn. I'm sure you already know this, just had to double check.

 

i wasn't referring to me, but to the thread starter who incidentally provided the information I always wondered myself, and he by no mean "suck" at turning to have a rx7 drift car.

 

Why dont you take some of your own advice boostedjustin and use some common sense before making retarded posts. The G drifts perfectly with ****ty angle, throttle by wire and a vlsd?.......yeah ok, you sound like a real expert. Making a comment like that pretty much took any credabilty you may have had and flushed it straight down the toilet, future input from you is neither wanted nor welcome so why dont you go troll somewhere else, I think the kids on drifting.com need some help from a pro like you.

 

very nice

 

any update?

 

not on the G, ive been spending all my free time on my 7

 

damnn...did you get the tie rods in?

It's a constant battle to maintain a RX7
