only when it rains... Id be the first one at the light in my 240.... spin the bald back tires in 1st, shift to second, and kick the clutch at the median.... the car would get sideways, id countersteer and combine with either flipping up the head lights and flashing the high beams, or throw the...

I learned in my last 240... I used to drive my little automatic SOHC around and just fishtail corners... Then I got my DOHC 5 spd and I was able to get sideways earlier... I try it at the track, and I ended up understeering into the wall in 3rd. Im not really fond of tracks... Most i've ended...

Yeah, I was thinking about throwing trail braking into the pole options along with a few others but the truth is they are more for track use (at times) and not many people get a chance to use them. My mistake for not throwing it in. I agree with you on the maneuverability of a 240, RX7...

Thats why im kinda hesitant to get a 240 later on... hell, thats why im so paranoid on drifting the supra... i want to find a nice open area, good for drifting but nothing to run into... not an easy task

Anyone? No one here drifts without power steering?

Im particularly fond of streets that have been redone.... you know, the ones that are almost complete, just need the pavement... gotta love nice smooth dirty streets :D Any of you drift with out power steering? At the moment mine doesn't have either power assist or a/c :( It'll get a/c later...

Thank you sir... :icon_bigg

Not sure exactly on the details... The turbo was upgraded when I got the car. It was rebuilt at MIC Turbo and I was told that it has an upgraded turbine... that its bigger to pull more air in...

I Second that... been wanting to see some for a while... all you see under toyo's in drift video sites are 86's, soarers, chasers, mk4's, and thats pretty much it.

Well if you payed $6 for your strut tower bar like i did then yeah, Ebay... I dont really know bout the rubbers... I took off the TEMS caps, and cleaned all the black rubber crap off... It was all braking and looked gay so I got rid of it. It was'nt hard to install at all really. Then again i...

Well I know the car can get sideways... Im an amature as well. Even with the 3 240's I've owned, all I ever got around to doing was clutch kicking at the median when the streets were wet. My first drift attempt at the Hialeah Speedway (while dry) ended up in me understeering, and locking the...

Ok, Im expecting some people to flame this thread. But this is more to gather all the people that are into drifting, and who'd like to get their MA70's sideways. Im more used to the Nissan 240SX than the Supra. But seeing as the MK3 was my 1st/5th car, is RWD, and has a pretty decent amount...

Well I think I should have included what was done to the Supra befor I got it back... The motor is a 60,000 mile JDM 7M-GTE, It was re-sealed, ported, polished, has a HKS 1.2mm MHG and it was thrown back in. I owned the Supra befor Ray (the guy that sold it to me this time). It was my first...

Wiring harness is brand new... Cost me $540, the cps is the second one i have... The one that came on the car was worse... bought this CPS used off of www.suprawarehouse.com, they said it was in running order when they took it off the supra. id have to get a multi meter and test the cps... i...

yeah, it is... i mess with that and some times start, and others no start... and its proven itself to me several times... on multiple occasions ive been able to resolve a crank/no start issue in this manner... any ideas?

Any of you know how to tell if a motors been damaged or not because of a blown head gasket? Theres no knocking (aside from the usual lifter tap), If i start the car and dont rev it at all, it wont smoke (if i tap the gas then the smoking starts when the motor is warm). The car wasn't moving...

Ok... I have a 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo. At the moment, its parked because of a broken clutch slave cylinder, and break master cylinder. I figured that since I had to park it, I might as well fix all of its problems to try to limit the amount of head aches ill have later on. Its current...

Ok, I've noticed this much about my motor... At times, the car will start perfect... other times, it turns over but no start, you have to play with the connector for the cps... not the cps its self, but you know how the cps's plug has a screw for adjustment? well the angle of that is like a form...

Snap Oversteer happens to any car in the middle of a drift... If you dont ease out of the drift and ease off the gas as well the car grips from the back, and the fact that the front tires (should be) counter steered the car snap oversteers back into the direction of the front tires...

Thats just weight reduction... keep in mind id like to balance out the car. Im trying to get the car to drive perfect... or atleast as close to it as possible... limit understeer, and have oversteer at my finger tips... you know... take turns as fast as possible without worry about the car...
