Because to get the average Mustang drift worthy costs money that most of the people here don't have, not to mention the skill it takes. The only successful Mustangs you see drifting are Gitten Jr. JTP. And Sarah Burgess(sp) sure Yves Faber drifts a Foxbody...in Europe and he's not in any type of profession competition. He could be, but he's not. Yes it would be dope to see more Mustangs, but look at what Stan went through to make his car semi drift worthy and how much time he's needed to become an even sub-par drifter...next to that, Wednesday night drift is all for fun, it's not competition. And even if you make it to that highly sought after level of competition, the politics behind the events are insane. I wish people the best of luck!

@ Iron50, ^ he hit on the head,Because most folks arent willing to commit their car and time and money to sorting out a mustang for drifting.Trust me I'd like to see more American stuff out there, but the truth is Nobody bats an eye at cutting up a $600 240. well....you got to rememebr that the 240's and corolla's have been well sorted since drift began its just too easy. get online and copy somebody else's build thats why folks are using those!

Me and my cousin were thinking of starting a drift team
 
Posted by Duncan Motors (Member # 7045) on :
 
stans car is already set up like most peoples cars on here.stock coil springs, stock motor, stock trans, noisy gears and posi goin out, lol. the only mods he needed was to improve his steering angle, which me and Johnathon did in two days after work with stock mustangs stuff. he is no pro but has more fun than u guys sitting on home on the couch nay saying right now on the computer. any car can go out there, and so what if its not competition, its for fun!!!
competition is like saying how many cars on here pro fess road race or drag in circuit, cross country to every event? not many. but everybody occasionally hits the strip or weekend warriors it right? its just for fun. my buddy's mom sit passenger and has a blast. i haven't seen one sour puss out there yet. stans given numerous people out there rides, and every one of them has a blast
40 bucks come on out and have a blast no matter who your racing for, or just for your self, or be a passenger. it would be nice to see some more ca ford cars out there for me. gitten jr or who ever was mentioned before are big times guys. no one said that was gona jump off immediately. but they started somewhere prob just like infinion in there home town. so now to all the guys that say cant, i say can! u don't have a car running? and well prob wont burn any rubber anyways, or put any of that thousands an thousands of dollars for all this fancy suspension and brakes to handle at 200 but only drive the speed limit, enjoy yourself,s and your limited goals, and stay right where u are frowning at others while u say cant, while im watching people in buckets that are! and definitely can.
there people out in trucks laughing there ass,s off having a blast.mamas having a blast in the pass seat! girlfreinds laughing there ass,s off, people on here are running 15 in there jap cars saying they whoop mustangs, and then theres john force in his drag car, get my point?
so if u wanna have fun and enjoy your hard work, and money out of your car other than it collecting dust, tryin to be the baddest car on the street always swapping to the latest newest parts, or your also the best engine stand race type of guy, stay at home, if not come on out and drive any dam car any dam way u wish. guarantee u will have a blast. i like it and well def be enjoying it some more, if u dont have a car and wanna just be in the pass seat experience. where all, an they are all very cool and u can get in to almost any dam seat u want.
 
Posted by Duncan Motors (Member # 7045) on :
 
its 5 bucks to get in, and if your nice u can get a free ride in a drift car. if u wana enter your car it is 40. i think its a week or two in advance now to enter cause the sport is definitely growing.

Amen to that! All these people with shit tons of cash in their cars and they just keep them garaged and "hibernating." we drive mustangs...c'mon, these are SHIT cars compared to most "real" sports cars. Take them out, drive them for what you built them for, and man up! Couldn't have said it any better myself [worship]

I have an extra set of 18" wheels I just know that I night of drifting can eat up a set of tires... What gear set is best used for drifting 355s?

I wanted to pursue that dream..but that is all it was..buying a 240sx would put you miles in front of a semi built foxbody for drift..the steering angle they come with stock is sick..they don't weigh anything..grab some coilovers and a v8 swap an with a bit of skill you can work magic..but with a foxbody you have to do a fair amount of suspension to be competitive..not saying it can't be done..but for the average 9 to 5 worker it can be a little complicated..I plan to jump into one very soon..my mustang will be my boosted street car with nice paint an rims..the 240 will just be a crash dummy with a Hci 302..in a car that weighs 2700 pounds

If you guys can make my car swing to the right, for the cheap... I will go out there soon. I've been wanting to go for a while.

Lol a 115$ carbon fiber clutch pack kit from 50resto.com..even the regular clutch packs will do that

Pay the ten dollars to come out to sonoma raceway on 9/12 and i'll show you some fun in a foxbody. I do ridealongs as long as youre not a dickhead or Raelsmar, and bring a helmet. Afterwards youre gonna wanna drift a stang i guarantee it. And to all the doubters dont talk smack until youve checked it out. I built my bucket to beat the shit out of it and thats what i do every time i drive it. Yee!!!

and big thanks to iron50 and duncan on helpin by cutting costs, walking me through step-by-step what they were doing, and did a great job!!! it was relatively cheap to make my car driftworthy, its not as much as you would think. its easy to drift low power, good weight dist. cars like 240's. if you have even some driving skill you should catch on easy how to drift a high torque car with a light rear end like a fox. i'd like to see more foxes out there, i applaud ppl who think out of the box and dont follow the norm.

1) not a lot of work to make drift worthy
2) i've only gone to sonoma drift 7 times
3) who gives a fuck about competition, its for fun! quit talkin shit and go to a ricer forum already, no one gives a fuck about your opinion!

It is absolutely a million times easier to do it in a 240..lol..but thinkin outside the box hurts my pockets..my dream has faded away..for now..im gonna grab a bike..a 240 and leave my mustang in the garage for fear if it being stolen..lol..u keep up the good work tho [patriot]

Stan I was never insulting you. Practice makes perfect. Seeing more foxbodys would be nice, I just don't think it will happen.

Also, I'll go to a ricer forum when the mods make me. I appreciate most cars for what they are. I still love Ford and the Mustang, if it's possible to own one in the future then I will. But for now I'm content with my GS-R. It supply's me with everything I need/want out of a car right now

man put it like this i was a die hard bow tie guy until i got a 5sp(had a aod and it was slow to me) fox and then i saw the light.i have learned one thing about these cars and its that they are worthy to be in any kind of racing with a little dedication.i have also learned that parts are hella cheap and available for these cars.....shit im all about surprising ppl thats exactly why im fucking with the under dog convertible not to mention i like to let my hair blow in the wind lol

I Applaud those who think outside the box and are willing to put forth the effort to do something "different" The plan for my parents 5.0 (that was being given to me)to be turned into a drifter was put to a halt by some funk between me and my pops.

I'd like to see some of these guys in the foxbodys take it to the next level and make it out to one of the drift jams.

yes his car is bone stock. no mods yet and yes it looks kinda funny with the stickers and painted 10 holes. it still looks better then half the cars out there and i told him if he can get his hands down in it in stock form, that will only help him later on when he starts throwing mods at it.

also for those who wanna know, slap a panhard bar, some really stiff lowering springs, and talk to duncan about getting more steering angle since him and iron50 used my car to experiment so now they know how to do it easily. those three things are all you really need to get a good start in this. it helps to have a more solid chassis (sfc, torq box reinforced, roll cage) but i dont think its necessary

yes his car is bone stock. no mods yet and yes it looks kinda funny with the stickers and painted 10 holes. it still looks better then half the cars out there and i told him if he can get his hands down in it in stock form, that will only help him later on when he starts throwing mods at it.


Yeah I don't know what's up with his tri-colored ten holes? N yeah stickers definitely gotta go I read like 5 of them N it's all it took for me to never want to read any more lol BTW I heard he hit something?
Im not sure if he hit something but it didnt look like it
His passenger fender got a pretty good size dent in it now, claims "drifter problems." lol

5.0 are now formula d approved and accepted. a 240 still needs a ton of mods to compete or have any fun. stock they are just a lil bit better than a fox just on the steering angle. easy for folks to talk about it when they sit on the couch and thumb thru the internet. the 24o has no posi. needs to be welded, as can the mustang if that already gd posi isn't gd enough. the steering angle and all the front suspension still has to be addressed as the mustang. funny thing is the mustang can be altered to get real close to great with cheap stock parts. while the 240 has to upgrade all aftermarket stuff. and the power plant is horrible in a 240. while the mustang power plant is great. the down side is the frame and torque boxes have to be reinforced on a fox body, duh u already knew that. so putting a 5.0 or better motor and still altering the suspension, and welding the posi. and still stitch welding on top of having to buy a 240 is a million time easier than a car u already have is a gd idea for u then go for it. this shit is awesome and dam fun.

I have a 1990 mustang that I have been building for years now n want to drift with it. Never done it n don't know how but want to learn. My stang is done up with maximum Motorsport rear pan hard bar,rear lower maximum Motorsport torque arm n springs, lowered in the rear 3/4 ", 3.90 gears n 31 splined moser axles,Svo aluminum cover, 13" rear rotors, full length sub frame connectors, torque boxes reinforced, a t56 6 speed magnum tranny n fidanza aluminum fly wheel,, front has maximum Motorsports tubular k member, tubular a-arms, coil overs lowered 1/2" n strange struts, agr polished quick steering rack,control arms moved 3/4" forward, steeda bump steer kit, steeda upper aluminum caster camber plates, 14" rotors n raush 4 piston calipers, rolling on deep dish 18" cobra r rims, motor is 331 stroker built by CHP. Aluminum edelbrock heads n performer intake, canton 7quart oil pan n scat crank,lower main girdle plate, full roller motor with e303 cam, blue printed n balanced, vortech supercharger pushing 10 psi, 70 mm throttle body n 73 mm mass air sensor, custom tailored chip, 24 pound injectors, full msd ignition, n way more than I can write n remember off my head. Is this the right direction for drifting? I'm wanting to learn. I'm a mechanic by trade n love to race but am ready to see n feel something new. Tell me what ya all think n I will post pics as soon as I can learn how to post them.

If you actually have all this stuff on your Mustang DO NOT fuck it up by drifting, it puts a lot of a beating to your suspension N drivetrain.

If you actually have all this and your a mechanic then you should know those 24lb injectors are a major holdback/weak point with that set up. A 331 stroker on 10psi....24lb injectors come on bro!!!

Take the torque arm off, you dont want traction in drifting. Get the stiffest c/o springs you can, get a full cage and stitch weld the unibody seams, improve the steering angle, and downgrade your gears and you should have a pretty solid setup. More important than anything is seat time. Get as much experience as possible
