who wants more Drift specific parts for the miata
So in my own frustration with building my v8 NB drift car i decided that all the custom parts i have had to make or have made i want to produce to make it easier for any other miata guys to get into the sport and be competitive. all these parts will be competitive pricing to the s chassis guys so it wouldn't be super expensive like all the JDM parts some people resort to buying.
obviously if there is interest i will get this stuff into production immediately and become a vendor here, as of now im not selling anything just checking interest.
Short list of parts and rough price estimates.
Modified Knuckles for more angle: $200 can be custom setup for more or less ackerman etc.
inner tie rod spacers - $20
Inner tie rods: not sure yet
Dual rear caliper setup for hydro e brake: price would be kit based. if u wanted calipers and lines included etc.
welded rear diffs: on an exchange program if local since its heavy and sucks to ship
any other parts you guys would want to see let me know. i'll post some pics of my setup so you can see the angle difference all the parts make.
please keep this positive if u don't like drifting that's fine please don't post BS in my thread i don't bash on ur hellflush threads so don't bash on mine. thanks

I sell a drift setup kit, which includes these extreme ratchet straps, along with a set of plates/hooks, which you can attach to your frame, bumper, or anything else. Attach the other end to a fixed object, and accelerate as hard as you can away from it.
Instant drift status: I'm doing a promo introduction, $399 for the set, with instructions. Yes, it's expensive, but it's a permanent investment in your drift car.

Can you weld a good drift car out of a Miata? The answer is no. Miatas make poor drift cars because they have a low polar moment of inertia. This is actually one of the reasons they make good race cars. Adding the additional mass of a v8 might have helped yours improve but selling parts to idiots to promote them as drift cars is like trading glass beads to Indians for the island in Manhattan. Try a 240sx or RX7. They are inherently better platforms for drifting. Seriously

Watch out the drift police are out to getcha.
All the people on here will bash drifting, then go and tell you what makes good/bad drift car, Tell you how to drift ect....
You want to offer parts to the drift miata guys
Go to roadster
RIFT , That site just went back online and is drift only miatas.
Dont let anyone say that a 240 is better, its better for people who cant drive for ****. I have made 240s look foolish on the track. They may get more angle but their entry speed is ******* pathetic.
We need
Danny George stopped making knuckles, so we need those
Front lower control arms to clear wheel at max angle (with knuckles)and
increase positive caster.
Angle increasing tie rods, like the secrete element ones
Rear dual caliper kits or mods for true hydro handbrakes
bumper steer adjustable tie rod ends
Spools for the rear end
Everything else is pretty much made or not needed.

the knuckles are easy and can be made to have more or less ackerman.
the lca's would be a more expensive piece was talking about those today i just run a spacer to clear with my knuckles and tie rod spacers
the FC tie rod ends are a good replacement, however i prefer not using the spherical bearing ends.
i'm on that other site and it's pretty dead lately so i thought i'd post a few other places

Drifting is a disease. Why are we, the people of glorious MiataTurbo.net, letting this mental health issue slowly creep it's way onto our fine site?

I personally don't like drifting. But I do like it a lot more than the hella flush idiots that drop absurd amounts of money to transform the miata into the slowest POS ever... So, I'll save my time and efforts hating on them instead. welcome to the forum.
