Rear Wheel Drive 4 Drift!
My buddy is setting up his 600+ RSX for rear wheel drive for drifting, just wondering if any civics outthere have tried it.
by the way the only thing stock on the car is the FRAME excluding the rollcage

Rep Power: 306 maybe more info and pics? How many thousands of dollars has he dumped by now? Guess it would be kinda cool to see a drift setup RSX but theres many other cars out there that can drift with a much cheaper price tag....
you should cruise over to www.importsnc.com/forums and look up user "gofastershawn"
he has been doing his own ls1 swap into a 94 prelude and it nears completion. I'm sure he can give you some advice/pointers since he has done all his own work with the help of his dad. And he's only 18 i think...
*edit: I have the same username over there if you wanna let him know where you got his name from. I'd hate for you to be accused of stalking or something like that

Rep Power: 0 Here's some old images, since then it's been in the shop adding sleeves to the block and beefing up the bottom end with custom parts.
I keep trying to change his mind to just buy another car and build it up.

Rep Power: 256 wow, that car is soo yellow and ..... i'm thinking this four letter word i cant think of right now.... anyways it's so yellow i think it'll drift on its own, tokyo spec drift.
but for reals, why make a FWD drift? just tell him to get like an s13 with sr to be a tokyo drifter. if he's got a 600+ rsx, i'd imagine he wouldnt wanna crash that thing off the canyon or into a wall or something.
btw, why did he paint the rear discs yellow??????

wow that is yellow....a diff (read "darker" ) color would've looked better imo...and why would he want to make an rsx RWD?? it looks like he's already put a decent amount of work in it as it sits...
