Hi everyone, new member here my name is Ozzie im Australia living in cyprus and addicted to drifting. they are just about to finish a brand new drift track in cyprus so i cant wait to test it out should be alot nicer than the go kart tracks we normally drift on,
only problem is im not as good as the rest of em with my standard suspension set up. reluctant to change it cause i will be selling the car when i move back to the uk in june next year for a silvia
unless any one has some magic ideas for making the supra a mint drift king?

Alright mate. Now the Silvia will be a great car to drift in! Although the Supra is also a very good car as well!

Welcome to the forum mate!

Welcome to TorqueCars. Looks like you have an impressive list of mods. I'd love to see some pics when you get upto 10 posts.

I've just done some web work for a property company in Polis - don't suppose that is near you?

The Supra is more of a drag car as you are finding out. With a bit of playing with toe in at the front and camber neutral (straight) at the back you will find it is a bit better. You absolutely need a locking diff for proper drifting as well. Fit narrower wheels on the rear and you will get a bit more slip going.
