Drift Vr Commodore

[johnny boii]

hey guys hopefully wont get hell shut down for saying any of this but im looking at making my 5 litre manual commodore into a drift car i have coilovers thick swaybars front and back 3.9 diff gears mini spooled diff im in the process at building the engine so it should have like 250hp atw but a shit load of torque just wondering if anyone has done it before and if they had any issues with it. i would be getting a hydraulic handbrake set up stripping the interior and 2 buckets and harness setup but the massive question is what kind of power am i looking at to make it through barbs also note i am a beginner haha only wanted to go commodore cause not many people have em and i have had this car years and love it. if anyone has any objections as to why i shouldnt also please tell me why haha

cheers in advance

You've got the power and torque. You need to stiffen it up.... seriously. Suspension, sway bars, bushes. What you've got at the moment is good for starting, but if you want to advance you'll need to stop the excess movement.

We had a driver in the Drift series two years ago who did really well in his commo ute. He was making about 300RWHP but with a heap of torque.

As suggested, get the suspension setup nice and stiff and you will be fine with 250HP to start. We teach newbies at the back section of the track which is where you will be for your first outing. Come out to the track and well help give some advice on next mods to make.

Drifting is a lot about car setup but when starting out its all about getting time in the seat and learning!

nice cheers @optic i shall are you a teacher? i think ill just set my car up first and then come down be quicker to get it all done rather then doing it in bits hopefully dont get ripped on for a commo ahah i have a 33 aswell but to nice to drift ahha

Yeah mate, I started the training at the track a few years ago and still hang around to help out now.

I don't drift in Australia myself anymore and tend to leave that to trips to Japan.

Get it all setup and come out for a play as soon as you can

Does the VR have IRS or a solid rear axle?

[Tai1or Made]
