That's what I was looking to find out. There's a local event being thrown by some sketchy people locally in Houston on the 6th of next month, I'm gonna try to make time to cut the knuckles and head out there stock and see how it does on 225/245.
Any advise on your knuckle experience, played a lot with raising/lowering the steering pick up on S-Chassis, your jig looks like you've concluded just moving it directly inbound on a parallel plane to the ground is the best way to go with no funny business bumpsteer/bind etc?
I've actually started moving them a little outboard also to try and gain some Ackerman. As far as possible which isn't very far. Haven't had anyone report bump steer issues. I did lower my tie rod by using a heim joint and misalignment bushings though just in case.
I'm looking forward to beginning a drift car from my 93 5 speed I originally wanted to go big on the engine but I'm thinking about leaving the 3.4l and swapping some stuff or bolt ons; maybe machining or turbo idk I'm excited though especially seeing others who want to be different and drift their 4th gens
cause who wants to pull up with a 240 like everyone else I'm glad I've found this thread cause I could never find anything on drifting 4th gens now i've come across this and see there's hope lol
Ready for the Saturday competition. How does it looks like ?
Since then :
- carbon fiber hood
- Fast removable front bumber
- still having trouble having an efficient e-brake (separate system with wilwood pump)
- air lift bags at rear
I tried to do a test as scientific as possible by mounting the phone on the fender for pictures. Apparently it turned after the first picture. Daylight was fading fast
First picture is stock, second is new rack with stock uprights, 3rd is new rack with cut uprights. I moved the rack forward as well so keeping the sway is possible. The problem now is the brakes...they hit the shock a lot. Needs a little massaging.
im new to this site but definitely no drifting. I actually have started a build of my own with an f-body I extended my lower control arms an inch and a quarter and notched them for clearance of my modified knuckles. im about at 45* of angle at lock have 17x8 +20 wheels no clearance problems at all. Hopefully picking up another set of control arms and knuckles tomorrow and will be changing the Ackerman on them a little more than I did on my current ones. Ill post pics when I figure out how to get them off my phone.
I thought I remembered seeing you in this thread, Robbie has showed me pics of your car on instagram. I love it
so i am more then committed to a fourth gen camaro drift build. I have now exceeded the steering setup i have and need help. ANY CHANCE YOU STILL SELL THE STEERING KITS?
I will try soon a new set up from jenson. I had all sort of problems with the old one. It is using a flaming river rack and pinion. Also made an handbrake who works : has been a pain to do one
who knows other people using those cars for drifting so we can share experience ? I just end making a very good handbrake system (with OEM calipers and double brake system at the rear). I would love to know what people use as modifications too. Also going with Koni's shocks. The others choices for theses cars would have been coils-overs : Ride tech / KW or UMI sold some systems. Ride tech and KW are over 2000 USD so expensive and I got some bad opinions about the UMI/VIKING shocks
Just bought a 02 ws6 to build a drift car with been running Auto x in an 02 ws6 for years now wondering if the angle mod I saw on here was still available
