Once and for all.. who iz da king of drift?

[SeD]

heya guys just interested to know what car u think is the king when it comes to drift

i know alot of cars have been set up for drift but im talking stock

its been between the s13 and 180 for a while

every1 i talk to has a different opinion

[DJ984]

That's because everyone likes different cars and the feel of different cars... there are heps of cars that are good for drift man but it comes down to what the individual likes to drive and can drift better than anything else... that's why one person likes the 180 but another likes the S13...

Just my 2c.

Cheers,

Dave.

Erm, guys....

180SX = RPS13

Silvia = S13

They are the same chassis, clothed in different panels. Suspension, mechanicals, brakes, and some interior parts are IDENTICAL. One is equally as good as the other. Apart from some minor details, stock they should handle basically the same, and they make the same power.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

good point but i was just saying that it's another one of those personal preference issues... wasn't there something with the 180SX that changed it (can't remember what it was but HICAS comes to mind-that can't be it though... ne suggestions?)>>>???

A brown VF Valiant with 3 on the tree is king of drift... well it was when i was younger

[SeD]

let me change my question a bit.... if u were after a drift machine... what car would u go for based on control looks and power

HR31 GTS-R with a 2.4 bottom end, twin plate, Tein or JIC coilovers, a 2 way mechanical LSD, R33 brembos, fixed back recaro seat, and 16" RS watanabe rims.

[meggala]

or a cefiro like mine

[MattyB]

any car can be drifted. find what ever car you like and learn to drift it. well thats with in reason. i dont know how anyone would go drifting a hummer. could be interesting.

[DJ984]

lol... i was thinking of drifting in a hummer the other day...(one lives down the road)...but i (personally) reckon a Sileighty has that mean drifter look...

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

Hachi-Roku?

[SeD]

mr r32 im a big fan of hachi-roku's.. how much can u find a stock 86 for??

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I wouldn't know, jspec imports down south had some come ing, it wasn't stock, it was candy red with carbon fibre bonnet and it was DAMN HOT!

I love the Hachi Roku, go initial D

see here http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/0067/

[DJ984]

I take it Hachi Roku means a Trueno??? I'm confused... :s

[Rezz]

"Hachi Roku" means: AE"86" Carolla Levin or Sprinter Trueno... theoretically, it could mean the whole line up of Carollas in that range, but all of them were quite dull compared to the Trueno/Levin.... so thats what people are referring to when they say "Hachi Roku".

Going by the abundance of S15s in the D1 Championship, I'd say they are the current fav drifter in Japan... just ask Uchii who is the D1 driver for DRFT who lives around the corner from me.

[Mase]

a 180sx handles different in the fact that the rear is heavier due to the glass hatch so the weight is more 50 50. Some say this makes it better for drifting. I personally like my rb powered s13 as the front is heavier and the rear is easier to keep out with the front still keeping grip. i've read in a few mags that they say the s14 is better for drifting and the s13 (being silvia and 180) suffers a bit of understeer.

Hachi-Roku?

:werd:

[NickR33]

My old '78 280E Benz was fun...

[SeD]

the Hachi-Roku is an 86 trueno/levin rite also known as a sprinter.. was the beast of its day and still rokin...

the IKATEN champion from 1998 to 2001 owned a black top hachi roku.. he was battling against ppl with s13's, skylines and cefiros. legend

[JAS-25T]

the D! championship recently held in america was won by a Hachi-Roku

Hachi = eight, Roku = six, in japanese

giving you 86 from the AE86 shaped corolla's/sprinters

but like Rezz said, it usually refers to the legendary Trueno
