Tein tie-rods with the spacer so.... no. haha. This was originally supposed to be my car for drifting but I came across this one that I have now for $2500 with SR20DET, electric cooling fans, FMIC and new clutch. I was pretty happy with that steal.
I know that steering angle is crazy. Its fun in the snow with that much angle, I can pretty much slide at 90 degrees and bring it back.

Yeah, I can't do that, it's the biggest downfall of my car believe it or not. The steering angle is so shallow that I literally cannot recover deep drifts. No matter how hard I try. I know the S14s have some pretty insane steering angle, but I'm in a personal battle wondering if I should switch cars for next year or just modify the car I have and rock it.
I really do love driving and drifting my Bullitt, it's a ton of fun, but speaking professionally, I don't know what would take me further.

I would just modify your current car. I mean its a little cheaper. haha. My red 240 has stock tie-rods so I cant get as deep angle as i want. full lock just doesnt feel right, I want to get deeper. haha. Ill get tien tie-rods before next season.

yea dave thats what i was saying bro.....
one day i want you to pop your tie rod out and see how much Thread you have..
if you have close to an inch or so..... you can put some washer in there and get a few deg of angles.
ps
you are the only black red neck i know man.... keep it going
FORD= For Off Roading & Drifting

Haha. Thats great. I tried to be a red-neck one time in my life but it didnt work. I am just a city-slicker that likes to hunt, fish, off-road, camp, drink beer and sit by fires. I am by no means a red-neck though. lolz

*cough*cough*.... so to get back on topic guys...
i guess i'll be rollin into the meet on 225/55/ZR16s with under 60% tread, 3 extra tires, a VLSD (picking it up tomorrow afternoon), and some of the other necessaries... i'm seriously considering doing that thrust washer thing that biggamehit had on his write up.... know where i can get those??? is it a dealer part? or can i get it at a regualr parts store.... i hope if i have to order it it'll be in by friday so i can get that VLSD in....
i haev a question of tire PSI, should i over inflate? or keep it at a normal 32psi?

Keep front normal. Depending on if you want to get alot of smoke and grip or lose traction and not get alot of smoke, its up to you. Higher PSI = easier loss of traction and less smoke. Lower PSI = more smoke and more grip. I set my rears to 35-40lbs. Fronts are set to 32 usually.
