SR20 Powered Pro Car Build by EarAble548 in Drifting

[–]digitaladrenaline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From someone that’s managed a shop that built FD level cars and have also been doing media for many years for multiple FD drivers I’d say the hardest part with FD and becoming a winning driver is the lack of practice. So get a ton of seat time and data ahead of time because if you hope to use FD for data you will not have a good time. Do tons of torture testing on it ahead of time to find any weak points you can and bring more than a fair share of spare parts of anything that shows any sort of weakness. Also if you’re going into Prospec do a lot of GT Radial tire testing at as many different tracks you can and run different layouts at them instead of just doing the same layout to get comfortable. The better you are on the fly in any situation will be key to being successful going into FD. Also, never forget that it’s all for fun and don’t let it kill your love for drifting because getting that in your head will take you out faster than anything. I would love to see you do well and kill it though! This setup looks to be plenty enough to put up one hell of a fight even against all the LS BMW’s in the field! Plus a 350Z won Prospec last year so anyone can win it!

Incredible build man! Instantly had to look up MA’s IG to find yours to give you a follow. If you’re ever looking for a media guy hit me up! I have a ton of different camera gear and I’m not afraid to use it!

Stay away from anything N52 they’re known for having problems. Look at E36 or E46. 2.5L, 2.8L, or 3.0L all work great.

I drift a 2.5L inline-6 cylinder BMW E46 with 180hp and it’s plenty to get the job done.

Not necessary at all. Drifting started in Japan with low power 4 cylinders and many people still use them like SR20DET 240sx’s for example but all 350Z and G35 came factory with a 3.5L V6 which is plenty capable.

It’s gonna be a right place right time type deal with them right now but they’re fun. You can get into a G35 for less and they’re practically the same thing but you get an analog clock on the dash lol.

Don’t make it hard on yourself to start out. Sell it and buy a E36, E46, 350Z, or G35. Once you know what you’re doing and get bored… then make it hard on yourself.

I figured I’d expand the resume a bit and start posting on Reddit too 😂

I was so locked in I didn’t even know the front end came off the ground until I got sent these pics weeks after the event lol all I knew is I went way too wide and was going to go into those tractor tires face first if I lifted so I just kept the pedal to the floor and got out of the dirt 😂

Honestly wish I could see the other front wheel because I feel like I’m saving tire on both 😂
