anders: thanks I wouldn't mind change setup with you, hehe. damn, I regret I didn't buy something like KW. that would souit my car so much better!

yeah maybe I come to våler 16th.. I have not get a chance to sign up for driving tough. I can not access the forum, and they will not give me a new password.

what rear suspension are you getting?


I have bilstein escort cup around. yeah, I know. I need new coilovers.



future: aha, so you know alot about drifting..? cool! I only have 235 tires at front. but yeah I know..

I also have to custom the steering so I get more angle. any ideas?


regarding the CF covers, it is just screwed. So I can remove it easy.

will bring you more info later guys, I have to get to work now.

I have KW competition 2 way, totally awesome, just need to adjust rebound/bump so it softens up, don't need to change any hardware, that was more of a joke

running no t-bar as well.

I'll make a post about it on the forum, so you can get back in.

thanks, anders.(OT, I can not pay, since I dont have a password. and I need a password to log on to the pages. and the forum leaders dont even respond my emails.!)

ok, I want KW coilovers too!! I will sell my bilstein and get som KW to winter.

regarding steering, and more steering angle I have at least found out a few things.

Nissan s14 tie rod ends fits the porsche 944 tie rod.. also I can use a spacer, too get more angle.

this is a D2 s14 tie rod and. and is much more solid than one stock 944.




what more can I do to steering and suspension to get it more drift spec?

I have wondered of upgrade to Tarett sway bars. they look awsome! but do they performe extra..?

my car would probably be very good for drifting, with smaller rear tires, basicly, stiffen up rear, 968 m030 at hardest, then hard valveing etc.

but like they said, compared to nissans etc.. its quite hard to drift it, but not impossible, just requires more skills

just wanna share some pics while I take a litte service on the car.
there are a few things I want to make better!

one is cold air flow to the radiator.

I do have a 3.5" thick IC in front, but I also have a 25row oilcooler up front. and think it gets a little too much.

one option is to move the oilcooler to one side, or I could try direct the air from under, to the radiator.









damn, I can't drill any more hole to my car now




got some easy mounts to take off my bumper! not pretty, but it is of in 10sec!






battery box done!








I at last, one problem I just found out. my steering have been allll wrong. I can almost turn the steering wheel 1 more turn to the right, than to my left. thats why it was soo hard drifting, haha! because of all the right turns at the track, my steering angle to the left was much less then stock. my right inner fender is all eaten up by the tire!











and one lame and bad video a night I was boerd!! It was really narrow between those trees!

Not sure I follow you with the spacer thing. Are you using the spacer to get the tie rod further out?

yes, that is right. but I can understand question about this.. because I cant really understand how its gonna help either! cuz if you space out the tie rod, you still have to adjust the tie rod ends in..?

I just barrowed it from a friend of mine, who has a 200sx s14.. I dont know if the steering rack is the same on those cars.

he said it would work on my car, so I dont know.. I can try


what else can I do too get more steering angle? anyone!
