There's something about American drift that I find really boring when I see it on tv. It's like it has no soul. They've taken the heart out of jap drift and effectively killed it imo. Love that clip though.

that's because it isn't drift.... it's just a biggest powerslide competition. - ghey

they have basically taken the sport and modified it in a pathetic attempt to give the edge to big american v8's

the big event drifts in the US ruin drifting... well they ruin the world perception of drifting anyways. Grassroots drifting is still about the people, having fun and breaking shit. Even the guys in the US agree that sponsored drifting etc is shite, lol you should hear how much they hate Rhys Millen and his 11ty billion dollar sponsored car builds or Nick Hogan being a gimp in that Viper n writing it off.

Also, chicago ruins everything.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
