Thanks for the kind compliments. It's actually not paint but vinyl. As for body mods it's a 1990 Nissan 240sx that has the front end from a 1998 Nissan 240sx. It's all aftermarket fiberglass. fiberglass

What kind of camber do you run to allow the tires to do that, that is insane you have to be using some type of aftermarket cv joint on the rack and pinion to allow that kind of angle....

All you need to do is get your knuckles modified pushing the tie rod mounting location out further and you need go extend your inner tie-rod and bam insane angle from a 240sx

actually you move the outer tie rod point closer to the lower ball joint, on the same plane as the lower ball joint, and you do move it out further but to a calculated point. you adjust bump, Ackerman, and KPI. i could go into alot of detail about all this but if you arent familiar with it, you will get a migraine. trust me i did when i started to teach myself about it lol.

rbs and srs are ok if your on the grassroots level. if you have any intentions on growing past the grassroots level i highly suggest ls. the power per dollar and reliability of a ls is incomparable. vh swaps are ok but again power per dollar is better with an ls. who ever is doing ca swaps you need to smack them. thas like the sohc or japan. that motor is ancient and worthless kinda like an rb20.

good job and welcome man

actually i run -2 to -3 degrees camber. in that first picture i was running -4.5 degrees camber. to do backwards entries you dont really need alot of negative camber. you need alot or rear grip and a good tire contact patch up front. depending on the course i change my camber up front. say at PBIR i was running alot of camber to do those kind of entries but at Charlotte motor speedway i ran less to get more rear grip. there is a science car set up in drifting. alot more indepth than i ever thought. As for the angle like i said earlier its all in the set up of the front steering knuckle. no special cv joint just a spacer on the end of the steering rack to prevent over centering of the steering rack.
