I literally just put a seat and harness in my car last night, i was holding the door with my arm before it was well overdue. seat is one of my favorite things ive done so far
Drift response: How do you feel as a driver and as a friend that James dean just came this year and said YEET Thats my championship (With forsberg being 2016 champion)
what up guys, just wanted to share with you my project. 4age 20v blacktop swapped 1990 toyota corolla all-trac wagon. also i live in woodland so big shout out to nameless! take care have fun!
Q&A: What kind of power can I safely make on my stock KA24E if I added a TDO5 turbo to the application. I don't want to blow it up getting power hungry on the Dyno
I have an S14 and I'm 6'1 and I have a bride lowmax and a buddy club rail that I modified to fit lower. I still don't have enough head room to fit a helmet. Any suggestions on what a tall guy should run for a seat rail and seat combo?
Dream drift car build for me would be a c33 laurel finished in gloss black, with some work vs-kf wheels, a built 30det & a custom wisefab steering kit. Tuerck should know what an rb30det is as he was in tauranga and lost to them 😉
Tuerck, Thanks for answering my question in the last video. I have another question. Will you or forsberg ever come down to piedmont drift and throw some doors with the locals?
Forsberg / Tuerck. What do you think of my drift car....94 Mustang V6 Convertible. Stock motor, coilovers, welded diff, Grip Royal wheel, bucket seat, no ebrake, no angle. Most of the tandem class guys at my track said that since I can drive a "bad" drift car pretty well, I'll do great once I upgrade the car more. I've done 4 events now so I'm planning on getting my knuckles modified and getting a hydraulic ebrake.
Q&A: If you could build a pro drift car with no FD (or any) rules to follow, what would you do differently compared to your pro drift car? Anyways greetings from Hungary!
Peti Kulimák tuerck would probably put a nitrous ferrari engine in a gt86 with a custom roll cage that is not to any formula d specifications...... o wait
Dream drift car build, probs a r32 gtst with a rb26 head worked and a rb30 bottom end, but keep it looking like a street car so I can drive it everywhere
farieed sankar in some cars with decent back seating you can mount the harness using the back seatbelt holes. Never, ever, ever, mount it under about 45 degrees. It'll compress and snap your spine.
Do not use a harness bar for a track day. Maybe an autocross or light canyon carving. They are dangerous if you roll the car; leaving you no room to bend your torso if your roof caves in the way a regular OEM 2 point belt will let you. Roll bar or half cage the car if you intend to take it to a track with a harness. If you can find seat belt bolts where the rear seats used to be in the back seat they are safe to use as long as the angle of the harness belt doesn't go below 45*.
My recent desired drift build would be a 2nd gen Ford Ranger with a 302/T5, IFS, 4 link rear end. My dream has always been an early 90s Celica converted to rwd with a 3sgte w/6spd.
I have a question, my drift car which is a gt86 is also my daily car and i wanted to put a good pair of seat that are comfortable and good for the track, do you have any suggestion on what brand i should use?... anyway, my dream build drift car is a vr38 rwd gtr35
240 GURU for racing i would suggest it. My brother has a sr20 in his hatch and he runs valvoline vr1 20w50 as well. My KA i used to run max life valvoline 10w40 but that was when it was mostly street driven and would see a track event once a year or so. Now its a drift car and i go to as many events as possible so I changed over to the 20w50.
dream drift car, LHD fully built JZX 100, with full interior four bucket seats, basically something like Forsberg's M35 but while keeping full interior, so I can drift it and daily it
dream drift car would be a bridgeported, twin-charged antilag 20b powerd left hand drive rx7 fc3s with full body kit. basically hert's build on steroids
4th and 3r pre pre pre preeeerrrrr. Awesome. What seat rails have you guys fitted? I have driftworks superlow rails and my head still skims the headliner with my helmet on. I could recline the seat by raising the front side mounts a notch i guess (Sparco Evo 2 bucket in an S14). Looks like America is the place to be for drift parts, we are a bit limited over here. Love the progress, one of my favourite shows at present.
Your thoughts on the necessity and usefulness of roll center correction following coilover install (1.25 in drop on a S2000). Vehicle used for road racing and back roads mostly. Are any of the components vital or more important (shaft spacers vs RCA). Thanks. Mike.
Q&A I have a s13 with and lsd when I turn and I'm giving it gas I have a clunking in my rear and you can see me wheel kinda shake in a way, when I don't give it gas and turn it's fine. I pulled my diff to check my spider gears but there fine I don't think it's my cv joint and all my lugs are tight, what could it be I'm in desperate need
Harnesses are incorrectly installed. You're supposed to use at lease 2"x4" plate under the floor to keep it from ripping through in case of accident. They're made by most harness manufacturers, FIA tested and cheap. Side belts shouldn't be mounted to the seat bracket. They should be mounted to the chassis using the plates or into factory mounting points. You can mount them into the floor seat mounting points in worst case. Never to the seat bracket tho. I recommend reading Schroth manual (even if you've different brand harness). They've invested a lot of money into research and the manual documents the safety requirements very well.
I am a bit short...do i need to pull the seat closer to the steering or install a deep dish steering??...my dream drift a Silvia S15 powered by 26B twin turbo,anti-lag(maybe),rocket bunny,double decker duck tail and 4 figures on low boost!!
Hmmm dream car build....R32 2 door gtst rb26det, and question for y'all, how long did it take for y'all to go from "normal ordinary guy drifter" up to PRO? Keep up the work guys.
Hey guys great series I have a r33 skyline drift car and wanna remove the viscous fan and fit twin elec fans what pros does this set up have and any cons to fitting twin fans Cheers stitch Stevie from Scotland
Would it be better to use a plate with a nut welded to it underneath the car for the harness' or is the washer enough to hold the force of an accident?
my dream drift car buil probably would be BMW E34, even though its sedan Q&A: 1) what would be a good and not very expensive solution for standalone engine management system? 2) what are your thoughts on replacing all wiring in an old car and relays epecially with mosfet based switches?
I want that same car in the intro pretty sure it's the s14 but I wanna get it with a 1jz swap or 2jz than save up a lot another future build would be a 240 and put a 5.0 in it like can from haggard
I'm looking to buy my first drift car and I must have a trailer since the track is pretty far. What is the minimum size flat deck trailer you would recommend? I'm looking for bmw 3series right now
Dream car. 89-94 240sx hatch. Ramjet twin turbo (not even sure if it's possible lol) 383 sbc bored a bit. Rocket bunny kit of course. Maybe a double spoiler like mad Mike's mx5. Volk te37s green/yellow. T56 with a Dana 60 rear just cuz! Many xtras!!!! Lol
Oh oh I want a coupe too same year frame pretty much the same BUT quad rotor cuz never seent it. I mean Mopar, Ford, Chevy swapped 240, even a Cummins 240 but never a rotored 240
Question- So I drive a Z33 I have bride low max seats, status harness, harness bar (obviously) nrg short hub with a sparco wheel. When I do go to the local drift events I have my seat in the up right position with the seat close up front... being that I am 5'1 my foot is still fully extended on the clutch... and I hate it.(specially on rainy days!) What are my options? Can the pedals be adjusted? I can try to adjust my seat on the rails closer but I believe it's pushed forward enough(Planted seat rails). Or just buy extra bride padding~ Thanks!
Question: how did you guys learn to build drift cars? i have a passion to build my own missile one day but have no idea how to pull engine, replace clutches etc.. pls help!!!!!
Hey guys was wondering if it would be a good Idea to removed rear brakes from master and run them from hydro e brake handle only? (note this is a non street legal Silvia S15 drift car I am building)
So our group recently wrapped up a turbo upgrade on a ka24 dual cam in an s13. Since doing it, we've been having a ton of cooling issues despite having a decent koyorad radiator, high flow fans and ducting to help with direct airflow. Time for rear mount radiator or are there other options?
Cameron Harvey oh yeah fully bled, even tried running no thermostat. Old setup made around 400hp to the tires, low boost on the new turbo is making considerably more than that and we aren't even beginning to push the limits yet. Car is all tube front end so remounting isn't hard, but we're trying to decide whether or not it's even worth trying to remount the intercooler further forward if the whole system is just going to heat soak anyway.
Tj Long huh, that would have been my first guess. The only other things I can think of is a bad water pump, heat soak, or not a proper fan set up. Well, hopefully you figure it out!
Hey Chris and Ryan, definitely a weird question, I noticed on DriftIdiots car the exterior kill switch is on the passenger side window cowl. I have mine on the driver side window cowl on my drift car. Does it matter the positioning when it comes to Formula Drift, or drifting competitions?
Q&A: What engine modifications do you guys think are essential to get reliable power right around the 300 hp range? Similar to Chris's 240 missile built, what should be first on list to upgrade?
They fit. Most with this sort of inline six FI build tend to run the turbo under the boot floor with rear cooling systems. You can't run big power realistically without modifying the firewall/front structure somewhat which makes your cars safety to be compromised if you don't know what you're doing. :) Upfront cooling would require some serious tetris skills and heat wrap abilities. 😎
Question- What´s the perfect distance between you and the steering wheel? Must the arm be straight with the upper part of the steering wheel or bended? I´m 17 and I´m learning.
SUPR VR obviously not fully straight you can hurt yourself doing that. What you want is what comfortable with you. Make sure you can turn 90 degrees without smacking your inner elbows or elbowing yourself in the groin. Keep the wheel out of your crotch and you're good.
Foresberg's Beard and those Takata belts remind me of Christmas... in the best way possible!
These videos always put a huge ass smile on my face from beginning to end, love it guys :)
Can't wait for the Dyno run, love this engines 😁
cant wait to see more of the datsun. love the show guys
I literally just put a seat and harness in my car last night, i was holding the door with my arm before it was well overdue. seat is one of my favorite things ive done so far
My dream drift car would have to be an AE86 beams swapped corolla. I love slow cars and I love NA cars. Keep up the great videos!
Me: "I swear if he says where-
Forsberg: "Where's Tuerck?"
Damn now whenever I go into the fridge and see a gallon of milk, I think of Tuerck.
I like the forswagon more like this. Simple and just nice
This was very fun to watch
How did Tuerck and Forsberg meet and whats up with Tuercks 1jz 240!!! That things dope!
Drift response: How do you feel as a driver and as a friend that James dean just came this year and said YEET Thats my championship (With forsberg being 2016 champion)
what up guys, just wanted to share with you my project. 4age 20v blacktop swapped 1990 toyota corolla all-trac wagon. also i live in woodland so big shout out to nameless! take care have fun!
Harnesses are annoying to install
AMBush Drift ambush !!!!!
ahhhsuhhhhh
100% man
And 4 of 6 straps are incorrectly installed in this video.
which?
Q&A: What kind of power can I safely make on my stock KA24E if I added a TDO5 turbo to the application. I don't want to blow it up getting power hungry on the Dyno
Why do you think people believe the stigma about KA engines? Even if it is a truck motor its still great! Chris's setup is dope!
I have an S14 and I'm 6'1 and I have a bride lowmax and a buddy club rail that I modified to fit lower. I still don't have enough head room to fit a helmet. Any suggestions on what a tall guy should run for a seat rail and seat combo?
Those datsun seats were mint
1967 Mustang fastback 7.0 427, 4 speed dog box, metallic Ruby red, cage, seats, handbrake, godliness
very cool experience. loved it
Q&A: For a track/daily car how should I tune the suspension for turns, what camber or toe in should i go for the front and rear?
Dream drift car build for me would be a c33 laurel finished in gloss black, with some work vs-kf wheels, a built 30det & a custom wisefab steering kit. Tuerck should know what an rb30det is as he was in tauranga and lost to them 😉
Tuerck, Thanks for answering my question in the last video. I have another question. Will you or forsberg ever come down to piedmont drift and throw some doors with the locals?
I love the sound tracks to every video, where can I find out what the tracks are?
Dream build I'm working on right now is a 1jz 240sx hatch like your old one Ryan.
Hey guys, great video again, but I was having trouble noticing your sponsors. Do you think you could plug them in your videos some more?
Forsberg / Tuerck. What do you think of my drift car....94 Mustang V6 Convertible. Stock motor, coilovers, welded diff, Grip Royal wheel, bucket seat, no ebrake, no angle. Most of the tandem class guys at my track said that since I can drive a "bad" drift car pretty well, I'll do great once I upgrade the car more. I've done 4 events now so I'm planning on getting my knuckles modified and getting a hydraulic ebrake.
For Ryan when you went form a h pattern to a sequential gear box did you have to adjust your seat positions a little bit
There's a guy in Ireland has a Lamborghini engine mid mounted in an old Mercedes Vito van
Q&A: If you could build a pro drift car with no FD (or any) rules to follow, what would you do differently compared to your pro drift car? Anyways greetings from Hungary!
Peti Kulimák tuerck would probably put a nitrous ferrari engine in a gt86 with a custom roll cage that is not to any formula d specifications...... o wait
Dream drift car build, probs a r32 gtst with a rb26 head worked and a rb30 bottom end, but keep it looking like a street car so I can drive it everywhere
Question: Harness bar, is it absolutely required or is there a safe mounting position for harness without the bar?
farieed sankar dont need a harness bar if you can get a 45° angle without
farieed sankar in some cars with decent back seating you can mount the harness using the back seatbelt holes. Never, ever, ever, mount it under about 45 degrees. It'll compress and snap your spine.
Do not use a harness bar for a track day.
Maybe an autocross or light canyon carving. They are dangerous if you roll the car; leaving you no room to bend your torso if your roof caves in the way a regular OEM 2 point belt will let you.
Roll bar or half cage the car if you intend to take it to a track with a harness.

farieed sankar ... way sa zabo

RPS13 with a S15 six speed and helical differential. With a T28 bb turbo tuned on E85!
I have a question, my drift car which is a gt86 is also my daily car and i wanted to put a good pair of seat that are comfortable and good for the track, do you have any suggestion on what brand i should use?... anyway, my dream build drift car is a vr38 rwd gtr35
I was just wondering why you guys used 20w-50 for the oil ? Isn't that too thick?
240 GURU i was asking my self the same question
240 GURU I use 20w50 in my KAT car. Works great
I use 5w-40 Rotella on my sr and it works well but is 20w-50 a better route?
240 GURU for racing i would suggest it. My brother has a sr20 in his hatch and he runs valvoline vr1 20w50 as well. My KA i used to run max life valvoline 10w40 but that was when it was mostly street driven and would see a track event once a year or so. Now its a drift car and i go to as many events as possible so I changed over to the 20w50.
Thicker tha better mate 20w50 all day long in an sr

Why stop at bridge-port, go all the way with the P-Port! :D
because street car
Fair enough :)

Any word on part 2 of your ka24det setup chris?
Love these freakin videos!
Loved the episode! Keep it up!! :)
Dream drift car would be a PS13 with a boosted 370z v6. 😍 Mix things up a bit. 😁

How much hood should you see from your seating position? Where should your body be in relevance to steering wheel?
Hey guys great series I have a r33 skyline drift car and wanna remove the viscous fan and fit twin elec fans what pros does this set up have and any cons to fitting twin fans
Cheers stitch Stevie from Scotland

"Get your car running crack open a beer. Pro tip S13s make great bottle openers."
I drive a genesis coupe 2.0t what seats and harnesses would fit best and what would you guys recommend to get extra power out of it?
What seat raise and mounts did you use? s-chassis seats usually always sit to high for comfort
Totally worth breaking that windscreen for the lols
Q&A : What's the correct steer / seat hight for drift -> race?
i wanna see all the FRS's at one place
my dream drift car buil probably would be BMW E34, even though its sedan
Q&A: 1) what would be a good and not very expensive solution for standalone engine management system?
2) what are your thoughts on replacing all wiring in an old car and relays epecially with mosfet based switches?

Question: Ryan tuerck what is your full fuel system set up on your drift car?
What's your opinion on 3 inch vs 2 inch Takata harnesses? Would love to hear your guys' thoughts!
Do you ever find yourself overheating the power steering fluid when drifting your street cars?
how are you bleeding the cooling system to be sure their's no air pocket in it
I guess drinking a ton of milk when thirsty is a drift guy thing haha
I'm looking to buy my first drift car and I must have a trailer since the track is pretty far.
What is the minimum size flat deck trailer you would recommend? I'm looking for bmw 3series right now
Are you going to bring back Tuerck'd?
Recommendations for weight of synthetic vr1 to use in a notchtop sr or any sr for that matter?
Can a motorcycle helmet also be used as a track helmet? If not what is the biggest difference in them?
I have a 76 Datsun 280z, how do if find the right seats that will fit me and fit the car if I dont have a local shop that sells racing seats to go to.
What's your opinion on safety and people using harnesses on the street with no HANS device?
Dream car. 89-94 240sx hatch. Ramjet twin turbo (not even sure if it's possible lol) 383 sbc bored a bit. Rocket bunny kit of course. Maybe a double spoiler like mad Mike's mx5. Volk te37s green/yellow. T56 with a Dana 60 rear just cuz! Many xtras!!!! Lol

Hey guys was wondering if it would be a good Idea to removed rear brakes from master and run them from hydro e brake handle only? (note this is a non street legal Silvia S15 drift car I am building)
What brand of tools do you guys use at home in ur personal garages?
Please say where you get all the Datsun parts from!!👌👌
So our group recently wrapped up a turbo upgrade on a ka24 dual cam in an s13. Since doing it, we've been having a ton of cooling issues despite having a decent koyorad radiator, high flow fans and ducting to help with direct airflow. Time for rear mount radiator or are there other options?

Im 14 and getting into drifting any tips for the goal of wanting to go pro?
why did you install seats without lateral head protection??
Hey Chris and Ryan, definitely a weird question, I noticed on DriftIdiots car the exterior kill switch is on the passenger side window cowl. I have mine on the driver side window cowl on my drift car. Does it matter the positioning when it comes to Formula Drift, or drifting competitions?
At what point in ones drifting career do you think it is time to get a roll cage? Dream build: super simple LS2 E36. Keep it to the necessities
Q&A: What engine modifications do you guys think are essential to get reliable power right around the 300 hp range? Similar to Chris's 240 missile built, what should be first on list to upgrade?
Was thinking on putting a new turbo on my Audi A4 Avant S-Line... Since its FWD is it a bad idea?
Dream build would be S13.4.2 with either a built rb32 or 3 rotor P-port
What is a good brand for seats for big guys
Is Tuerck circumsised ?
My dream build is a miata with a 2JZ ... and a big turbo !
tehpi will that even fit
Yeah tuerck managed somehow to fit a 458 engine into an 86 so...
yeah it fits. I legit know a guy who has a 2jz NA
Too long, short wheel base, big turbo lag
They fit. Most with this sort of inline six FI build tend to run the turbo under the boot floor with rear cooling systems. You can't run big power realistically without modifying the firewall/front structure somewhat which makes your cars safety to be compromised if you don't know what you're doing. :) Upfront cooling would require some serious tetris skills and heat wrap abilities. 😎
How did you get such a clean 510 wagon?
hey guys i need suggestions on a bucket seat, im 6'6" 115kg and a 44 in shirts and pant
Gt86 with ej207 😍
Question- What´s the perfect distance between you and the steering wheel? Must the arm be straight with the upper part of the steering wheel or bended? I´m 17 and I´m learning.
SUPR VR obviously not fully straight you can hurt yourself doing that. What you want is what comfortable with you. Make sure you can turn 90 degrees without smacking your inner elbows or elbowing yourself in the groin. Keep the wheel out of your crotch and you're good.
hey guys im a big fan all the way from trinidad just want to know whats the best high temperture engine oil and transmission oil
I love this tutorial
