I was at work this morning(5:45am) and I was pondering a few ideas, just to get some conversation started in here.

Could a Lancer ES drift successfully? With every available suspension mod by RRM put on the car, would it still be stable enough to drift? Even with the FWD?

Also if that same car got a rear-disc brake conversion and you disconnected the emergency brake cables in front and then connected them to the rear, giving all the power to the front wheels. Would that work?

Like I said I was doing some daydreaming earlier this morning and figured I would throw it out there. Just to see what you all had to say about it.

Just an idea

Thanks,
Steve

 

i think its hard to drift with lancer, i tried with 350z (stock), it was pretty hard to drift that car too

 

why dont you just buy a used 240. their not that expensive stock now and days. besides if lancers were rwd i wouldnt buy it.

 

You can drift anything with the right setup. As far as e brake cables go, they are only connected to the rear brakes and with a FWD that would be the only way to drift it. You will have to have total control of the ebrake and be on the gas full throttle to keep it going. Engine mods wouldn't hurt either to give the car some extra go.

--On a side note, how could you not drift a 350z? stock or not. even with traction control on you could slide it sideways. My evo could do it stock and now it does it with ease.

 

I am not going to seriously do it. If I wanted to take drifting on I would buy a used 240. I just wanted some conversation goin.

 

Next time, make it a topic of use.
