As above plus save the money you are planning on mods to maintain the car, no doubt you will need new front and rear bars, lots of tyres etc

Dont get into the trap of constantly modifying stuff, Wait until you have oerfected sliding the car as is before chasing more power etc.

here she is

You'd probably want to lower it for better stability and handling for drifting.

Work on the Suspension / Braking / Tyres.

Power mods is not necessary if you are just starting out.

All should be good.

Why?

It would just f**k the roll centres going any lower than that

braking?! standard calipers would be fine.

Get it out to the track, fix shit you break and when you feel your ready for more power, or more lock then go for it.

Oh, a must have is a good, supportive seat it makes a world of difference.

Just get as much track time as possible, seems like it's a decent base to learn in already.

1000 times this.

Your car is pretty epic already, just get out there and rip some skids :D

Maybe invest in a gopro too so you can not only upload to youtube and show off your maaaaad skills, but you can watch your videos and see what you can improve on and maybe get other pro people to comment too.

That's just me.

Upgrade brakes to take a higher heat range and more response.

Each to their own.

And yes, a racing seat will make a difference.

most important mod = welded diff / 1.5 way or 2way

Negative, I learn't on an open diff. If anything it'll be better to learn with less. You'll then realise how things work/make it easier when you start adding parts to the car.

VLSD would be fine for now.

upgrading brakes is just a waste of money on a drift car, you won't have any issues with stock gear and half decent pads

get a decent seat, make sure the diff is locked and go drifting, you don't need anything else

dont get a gopro if you buy a camera as there shit :down:

.....

just lock the diff, drifting without a diff that locks it just a waste of time and it won't teach you anything

Fuuuuuu, you lucky bastard! hahaha.

Sounds like your car is good to go mate, you've ticked pretty much every box we've suggested.

Just get a fire extinguiser and I think that'll do it. needs to be at least 1kg and have a metal bracket then placed with in reach of the driver.

That clutch should do ok. I've got a Jim Berry Full Monty for sale if you want it pirate.gif

Speak to ISC-PERFORMANCE and get a set of n1 coil overs, rear camber arms, hicas lock bar, front caster rods, rear traction rods. Then just get used to the power you have now :) also a 2way diff is a must. Also make sure your handbrake is upto scratch.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
