mzsinko84 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Correction, a high speed drift car is exactly what I’m looking to do with my car even though I’m on a budget. In all honesty, I want to be able to give my car some gas and feel the rear end start to slide out but keep my car under control. I know if I want more of a drift car I should get a manual transmission but that won’t happen for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 You’d be much better off finding some low traction surfaces to practice on, as dwmcauley01 mentioned. Free ninety nine, and a whole lot safer and less stress on and potential $$$$ damage to your drivetrain than doing it on the street/track.

whitetiger Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 the 5eat will never operate that way unless you are on a loose surface. the VTD center will always try to send power tp the front if the rear starts to slide. you bought the wrong car then.

mzsinko84 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just to clearify what I said, I don’t want 100% RWD, I want to be able to choose RWD with a little bit more power going to the rear wheels to make drifting a little bit easier.

Underdog Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think we all understand perfectly what you are asking for. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 To achieve even close to your goal you will need roughly your cars value in upgrades, then consider those upgrades and their cost as maintenance because they WILL break if abused. Sti’s that come with what you want are still a far cry from a drift car. They will slide and even with the dccd adjust as far back as it will go, they won’t slide like a drift car and when you try and counter steer they just turn. You have two things going against you, the platform of the car and your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Also add motor motor replacements to the list of maintenance items. An ej255 or 257 will surely live a short life at that abuse level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 DCCD doesn’t control front/rear bias. It only controls the % lock between the front and rear axles. This has been mentioned several times. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 ^same goes for the clutch the the 5EAT's VTD planetary center. its basically DCCD but stuck in auto with no manual control. OP will not be able to bias rear TQ without significant and costly custom work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 DCCD doesn’t control front/rear bias. It only controls the % lock between the front and rear axles.

When referring to an sti having what he wants, I was referring to being able to get the rear end to slide, not the selectable rear/ awd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my curt reply - I didn't mean to direct it at you, just generally speaking on the topic. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 No apologies needed. Re-reading my comment and given the op’s clear lack of mechanical understanding on the matter, I can see how I may have accidentally implied the dccd would give him rwd control. I should have specified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalsleeper Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Just to clearify what I said, I don’t want 100% RWD, I want to be able to choose RWD with a little bit more power going to the rear wheels to make drifting a little bit easier. Based in this statement I am guessing you might be thinking of other 4WD vehicles or have spoken to people who are familiar with 4WD like a Jeeps. Just for clarification these 4wd vehicles have selectable 4WD, 2WD, 4high, 4 low, etc this is because they have a transfer unit. This is a separate part that is bolted to the transmission with selectable modes to send power where you want it. This is not how Subarus are designed. Subarus have the center differential built into the transmission, there are a few varieties of transmissions but they are similar in this regard. Your best bet is to buy another car to hoon around, your cheapest option might be a salvage option from IAAI (I might be missing an A???) these are cars that are being sold by the insurance companies for pennies on the dollar. Gut that thing, sell off parts to pay for mods, and don't register this as a street vehicle, off road use only. Also get a cage of some sort this will save your life if you mess up at anything over 25 mph. I'm 40 now most of us that are a little older have learned (often the hard way) don't make your daily into a race car, you just end up broke and on foot. Lastly and this is not entirely a joke I just heard a local blood bank paying $700/month for plasma, so there is always that option if you are tight on funds.

blackobxt Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Brz’s will be cheap soon. There are so many driving around already that are missing bumpers, have multi colored panels or are just hacked up. They are the modern day 240sx in that regard. Keep your legacy and grab one of those! Or if you want rwd with selectable 4wd, an amc eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzsinko84 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 It’s been a while, yes I would like a drift car but I also want it to be a good every day normal driving car. It’d just be fun as hell to be in turn and tap my electronic gas pedal and the rear starts to go into a controllable slide/drift. Yeah I ordered an electronic gas pedal and I installed the electronic gas pedal and holy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbagump Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Thanks for bringing this thread back up to the top! What an, um, interesting read! Thank you OP, I am humored in a really weird way by all of this. In the end though, I am firmly in the "you picked the wrong car" camp. Hope you find what you're looking for eventually, sliding around is one of my favorite activities too. Just have to wait until some snow is on the ground and that car of yours will be the right amount of fun. Bravo too if this is a troll thread, that electronic pedal comment was pretty good. I've got me one of those too! Edited May 6, 2021 by bubbagump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
