We had an open drift practice set up at the local circle track here in Yakima WA. I had a great time driftin my bird around! I was the only domestic car out there, we all had a good time. didnt know where else to post this. the car is a 91 Lo3 firebird with 36/24mm sway bars, poly bushings, koni front kyb rear shocks,T5 transmission, and a 3.08 rear with a posi that now needs replacing(About halfway through the session the posi started slippin by the end it was done.

Re: 91 Firebird speedway drift pics.

Re: 91 Firebird speedway drift pics.

No i am not going to go that extreme with this car, I use it for autoX most of the time, and drive it 100+ miles to and from events, with some street cruising on the weekends. I recently picked up an engineless 85 trans am 5spd that im gonna make into an all out drift car, i think i'll try and modify the control arms arms,and get a reworked powersteering box that has the stops modded to provide more angle. theres a guy that goes by screen name sketchy, that has a badass all out drift camaro. I beleive he's used these mods to get lots of angle, and has a post of some sick drifting vids on a locked thread on the history/restoration boards. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/hist...act-drift.html This tread goes over steering angle mods in depth https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/susp...ing-angle.html

Re: 91 Firebird speedway drift pics.

Thats pretty cool. Eventually I'd like to get into drifting and more auto-x myself...
