91 Firebird speedway drift pics.
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.

Have you done anything to the ront end, to get more steering angle/geometry for drifting?

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

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