drifting it isnt that bad but the only problem i have been having is the steering assist .. nothing is mechanically wrong with it but i drove my friends s13 and it was not near at touchy as moine and i can hold a large circle a LOT better..
in my car if i turn the wheel 1/4in too much its overcorrecting or oposite..
i want to know if there is a way i can make my steering less touchy and a lil less responsive.

wow.


uh, your first problem is you are comparing a s13 to an S. big difference of a car.

you know what a good drift car is? a high-torque rear-wheel drive car that handles like ****.

do you know what an S is? the exact antonym. get another car would be my advice if you want to tokyo drift

kind of technically you can. the rsr drift s2000 modified thier steering shaft i believe and some other work.

the s2000 is really not meant to drift. yes its a fun car that is tail happy, but for 3x less $ you can really drift with an s13/14 and be a lot better at it.

Right.

But without some serious fabrication, which you could do to almost any car...it's not possible.

there is no like plug and play Steering management system, correct?

Heres a s2000 drift car, with the stock steering rack and some adjustable front tie rods for more steering angle:

You can adjust the length of your tie rods to get more steering angle, which helps drifting. There are s2000s drifting without changing up their steering rack. I think only the RSR s2000 felt like it needed to change the steering rack, but all other s2000s kept the stock one.

Drifting is about technique. It's not like the s2000 can't drift. I can drift my s2000 anytime i want by using the proper techniques, and it's not like i need some special mods to do it. Pretty much any RWD car is driftable, you just need to know how to drift. The truth is that many S2000 owners just don't know how to drift.

RX7 steering rack is what you need. However, if you're really into drifting, unfortunately you have the wrong car.

Sorry, and good day.

of course the S2000 can but why in the world would you? the S was built for handling...it takes corners just as well as a lot of cars in the world.

The S is not really tail happy, and has limited amounts of torque, thus it really wouldnt make a great drift car.

It's like trying to drift a lotus, or ferrari I suppose. of course you CAN, but why the hell would you?

go buy a cheap primered S13 if you want to drift, don't expletive up a perfectly good S.

so did you actually try the rx7 steering rack or did you just hear about it from someone else?

Theres a ton of best motoring videos where the drift king drifts a stock s2000. If you want some D1 drifting with krazy tire smoke, you're gonna have to fix up the s2000 of course, just like any fc, 240, or 86.

there are also plenty of people out there throwing 40" rims on montecarlos.

what is your point.

There is much that people do to cars that I don't agree with. Like stupid riced out body kits and neons.

do you know what a real honda drift car is? a 400hp element, with a 3.2 v6. go look it up, its real.
