sup okes, I just got my self a 1995 Toyota MR2 Mk2 about a month ago, so im just getting use to the whole rear wheel drive thing. I've got a 2.0l turbo with 200 ponies at whe rear wheels. So from the power side I think ist okay, so I wont to start drifting but I need to get sum advise about the upgrades il need to do on the suspension and body to strengthen the car, I dont feel like F*ckin up sumthing now, except the tryers, sum advice will help.

It depends on how much cash you got to spend, start with say a coilover kit.

You may find it hard to find aftermarket parts for an MR2, but if you wanna drift then see if there are coilovers, and maybe think about a rolcage to stiffen up the rear...

Where you from?

Go play...

No mods needed to drift a rwd.

U think the boys back in the day had drift suspension ? My father used to drift his Ranchero Bakkie... he also had loads of fun with a Beetle on sand roads.

Good point...^^^

In that case just a large supply of tires....

start with front and rear strut braces for the car, eliminates bodyroll ! The mr2 has a tendency to oversteer very quicky, so get ur throttle control waxd ! Enjoy

You will need a decent suspension for proper drifting - but it is true - u do not need alot to make a rear wheel drive car drift - just a bugger with body roll

Strut bars dont stop body roll...

Anti Roll bars ( also known as sway bars) stop body roll.

Struts bars tie in the top of the turrents so they flex less, making steering input more precise...


I think it's easier to drift with body roll... makes the car more predictable.

I always say... it may be easier to drive a car on the limit with really worked suspension, but once it passes the limit is infinitly harder to control.

I drifted with my BONE stock sx for a few months. yoru car should come with LS so u should be fine.

The 2 most important things for drift are WITHOUT DOUBT:

LSD
Suspension. preferable coilovers

your soft wallowy suspension will only take you so far.

Other than that, stop drifting your keyboard and get some practice on track!

Couldn't agree...less...

U might be right in some ways, but consider that most newbs start off with a stock car. Stock cars are designed to be easy to drive. Once the driver gains some experience then all he will get is frustrated with the limitations of a stock suspension.

Drifting with bodyroll is K@k... if your tallking powersliding then yes, its ok, but once you start switching from side to side, the LAST thing you want is body roll, its VERY disconcerting and takes too much time. My cars suspension is worked and yesterday i took a corner, back stepped out at about 100km/h and at no point was a I concerned about my safety. When the SAME thing happened at about 110 a few months ago with the stock suspension (granted i got abit of a suprise) i had to park the car afterward cos i was shaking so much...

When I was working in the US we did quite a few MR2's.

To be honest, its one of the hardest cars ive ever tried to drift, especialy to try get out of the corner and not loop it,

First thing your going to want to do is get coil overs and a LSD, then its practice, but be warned, DO NOT try your drifting around anything you could hit because the MR2's go great then just loose it and once uve lost the tail to far there is nothing to get it back, I would say its on average 200-300% harder to drift a MR2 than it is a 200SX.

There are a few tricks you can do to make it a bit more drift-able but it buggers up your ability to use it for anything else.

The biggest problem is that all your weight is in the rear, so if your like me which prefers to power over drift you find the ass is so heavy that when it comes out it just slides with all that momentum and its hard to get it to sit and the angle you want it to.

Hope that makes sence.

Tell u what though, they make damm fine drag cars those 3s's have some serious potential

Rezlo u f;ing sellout!

Dont tell him to do drags!!!

can imagine how difficult it must be but im sure its still fun to get sideways... if u want to get serious though its prolly a problem.
