Default Sweedish Drift!

Ok so what's the deal with these guys! They are completely awesome! I was just wondering if anyone could fill me in on how there car's are setup suspension wise to make them drift. I saw them featured on the homepage and checked out there youtube and they are the real deal. I always though fbody's couldn't drift because of lack of steering angle?

By the way, sorry for misspelling Swedish* Just got a little excited!

I would say that 100% of the cars that drift have modified their steering angle if they're competitive.

To each their own.

Most pro drifters adjust steering angle. More angle equals better points in comp. I would love to learn how to drift! Looks like a blast

I know that in order to drift we need lots more steering angle. That's my point! I thought fbody's couldn't get more steering angle from stock. And if you were able to increase it, how the heck would one go about doing it?

check in the road racing section, a guy posted pictures a month or two ago. he chopped off the ears that the tie rod end mounts to on the spindle and welded it closer in.

There was a guy on here who turned a V6 formula into a Drift car with an LS1 and modified his steering angle if you want to search it.
