93Euphoria

Thanks guys for the help on the vaccum. Now that ive saved up and almost there for my new suspension, i have a question about what suspension to get. My plan is to build a streetable 93 Drift LT1. Theres a drift track here in Orlando and wanting to know what suspension is needed. I know coilovers are mostly used but just incase anything specific. I know most of the guys on here are drag guys. just figure I wouldnt mind throwing a challenge to you guys for the help.

I dont think I have ever seen a single person on here post about drifting, here its 90% drag racing, 10% autocross. You might have better luck in the suspension section.

buy a different car. F-bodys don't have enough steering angle to do any serious drifting.

This. Go get a 240 and drop an ltx/lsx into it...

Thats very true but how did this guy pull it off with his 3 gen? do 3 gens have more steering angle?

Did you not read the very first thing in the video?

It says Increased steering angle.

Most guys that drift change steering angle anyways. Just add angle to yours and there ya go! No need for a new car.

I would look on ebay for some good sticker packages. That should help get your car sideways pretty good.

Then paint your wheels some annoying neon color and cover your car in unrelated brands.

Good luck with the build.

that camaro looks god awful. but 4th gens dont necessarily make bad drift cars, on a grassroots level anyway. lol half the formula d/d1gp cars are running lsx swaps

Lol I love the smartassness on here. My car will only stay 1 color and put some nice Matte Black Wheels. No need for import stickers or body kit. The car stays a pro touring drift type Z28!!!!!!!

You can stay with your current chassis but you will be limiting yourself quite a bit. If you are looking to get into the sport and want to progress and be competitive you will need to choose a different chassis. With a boat load of money you could make your car workable but a 240sx would be a better way to go. I am currently building a LS6 that I am dropping into a s13 240sx. I have been competing in the USA and Canada the last 4 years with a 4 banger turbo but V8's are overwhelming the sport and everyone will need to adapt to stay competitive. As for the suspension, so people think its slammed with full hard damper...WRONG. Suspension needs to be tuned well to make the car stable and controllable. full adjustable rear arms and well a nice set of coil over is a great start. You can PM if you'd like and I can give you a hand getting yourself set up....with a 240, I cant give advice on a Camaro.

I would think a set of lowering springs with good shocks big sway bars & UMI adjustable type rear suspension Adjusted for mass wheel spin & a torque monster stroker motor to keep those wheels lit up till ya let of the gas Oh & prolly an adjustable proportioning valve & delete the antilock brakes!!!

^This is true...I didn't build my car for drifting, just a fun street car that I can autocross if I wanted. It's got a 6spd 383 combo with lowering springs, new KYB shocks, big solid sway bars, poly bushings and it will stay sideways as long as you want it to steering with the gas pedal

I would think your parking brake would need to be upgraded somehow to whip that thing into corners with some authority...

I don't think you can drift that car, well with it being that heavy it would just push the front and never get around the corners very well. You can get a 240 for 500 with no motor or trany. Then drop the LS and T56 in. coil overs, 400 bucks for some steering arms and you can go to town. I just finished mine with an LS.

If you guys are going to talk **** and post stupid *** pictures, go make your own thread where all the **** can post gay **** together.

There is nothing stupid or wrong with what he is asking, it might not be the best drift car on the planet but thats not what he asked. holy ****
