dougie350 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks for the replies, do you run front and rear camber arms? And also do you run a welder or the stock lsd? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 im running stock Vlsd but going to a 2 way dedman (aliveboy) runs a welder and i have rear cambers arms but not front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Mine is pretty low but Im happy without camber arms, I do a lot of grip work on track as well and TBH Im probably leaning more to that for setup. Power and torque are more then enough until you start competing Stock LSD is very good for a stock LSD but maybe a bit woolly on transition, welder is better but Ive heard they can start eating driveshafts once its gone 3 way. Coilovers make life a lot easier, the rest you can leave until you get decent, Ive had my fairly stock one sideways in 5th at Spa without major pant soilage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie350 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Awsome! Cheers for the advice guys! I've drifted bm's before and got on pretty well with welders in them, I think for me id prefer a welder as it's 100%lockable always, and if I can get hold of an open diff, weld it and keep my vlsd spare incase I suddenly decide against it. As for suspension I'm thinking hsd's and mabee some driftworks front camber arms and some driftworks rear camber arms! So next question.... Has anyone got a spare open diff they wanna sell? Or ideally an already welded one? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Have you tried drifting the Zed yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie350 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Sort of.... Roundabouts and a few nice long corners, only in the wet though, not sure how the lsd would perform in the dry, the car didn't feel too bad, it would definitely benefit from some coilovers and camber I think!

StevoD Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 When you say camber do you mean running negative camber on the rear will make it better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try some proper drift days in the zed before deciding on parts to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie350 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 No negative on the front, I'll need camber arms on the back because when I lower it it will make the rear have loads of negative camber if I'm correct? So need the arms to bring It back, iirc it's best to have 0 camber on the back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Whatever you want to do but Id try it as is (with coilovers anyway) to start with mate, if youve played before you will know what you are looking for. As I said, Im 70mm or so lowered without camber arms, I need to be going fast to drift in the dry, theres a lot more grip here than an E36 (which I also have sitting outside) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie350 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ah right cheers for the input, How much camber are you running on the back if you've lowered it 70mm without camber arms? Yeh I bet! Do you skid the 36 too then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutter Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I drift my baby zilla, totally standard part from HSD coilovers and managed to link Anglesey by the end of the day (but that's down to my poor skills) I could do with rear camber arms to make tyres last longer and make me feel like I'm getting the full use of my tyre. I'm also gonna try and swap the oil in the diff as I thought it let go once or twice at Anglesey but otherwise the standard lad is more than enough for a novice like me. A week before I did Anglesey, I did my first drift day in zilla when she was totally standard suspension etc and she was perfect like that, I just enjoy the low life.

nolagg Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Is there a specific tire size any one is running on their stock 18s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 i like to run anything from 235-265 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutter Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Round, black and got decent tread for at least a few laps, that'll do me haha. On my 9.5j Rotas I run 215-265 no higher profile than 45 prefer 40 realistically. Pressure ranges between 30-40 psi. Higher psi I find I lack grip.

docwra Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Winkj have a look at the link below for pics and a spec http://www.driftwork...ne-off-car.html Aye, thats the Zed, probably the coolest, Ive also got an MR2, Range Rover, GTI-6 and a 207 Diesel (for the fuels). Seeing as how this is a drift thread though ........... My old S13, specced up to the 9's: My Onevia convertible drifter, it was amazing, totally unique worldwide: And the current one, 328i with M50 manifold, welder, coilovers and totally lack of ground clearance so smashes into the floor all the time: Im supposed to be picking up a 135i in the next couple of weeks so its likely the 328 will be for sale soon as well ......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
