Which setup for drifting...?

[Bean]

Hello everybody, I'm new to this board but would like to ad my 2p as well

IMHO the only thing needed on a stock 86 to start some fun drifting is to replace the bushes (if they are completly shagged) the rest is practice... as for having it easier to get the backend out... go out at rain or inflate the rear tires more, this will reduce contact patch and therefor less grip (start with ~.2 bar above normal and add more if needed, depends a lot on the tire make and model you use).

I had an S13 before (210hp@fly) which I made a bit more modifications but more for grip driving and because the tires always rubbed on the arches when I was drifting hard...
I agree with noHachi that if you learn to drift and control the stock car you'll be learning more and faster compared to a overpowered car where you just floor it and it's starts to powerdrift...

I'm building up my other S13 to an allout driftcar but I learn on the 86...

@maggkrabar: IMHO 200hp is just fine with the 86 (with few modifications to the chassis) - previous owner of my 86 competes in hillclimbs with his 86 http://dasracingteam.ch/team/andreas.htm

i'll continue now reading through the board as I have loads to find out and make my mind up as well
