OHHHH MAN I CAN"T EVEN EXPRESS HOW MUCH FUN MY 924S IS TO DRIFT!!! I lucked out and got the factory lsd, and with turbo sway bars (25.5mm front and 18mm rear, up from 23mm/14mm) the balance of the car has completely changed allowing much more controlable oversteer than before.

I just run crappy 215/60/15 400 treadwear tires that break loose pretty easily and don't wear out to fast. I adjusted as much negative camber into the front wheels as possible- 1.75 degrees, which is just enough, and I havn't touched the rear at all.

As far as power goes, I have big plans for a built NA motor, but the stock power is great for now. FR Wilk has his chips on sale for $125 right now by the way...

A smaller steering wheel makes it incredibly easier to wrestle with, and keeps the wheel from hitting my knees. I need a bucket seat bad though.

I need to look further into the number 2 bearing issue where people have apparently spun the bearing by holding long corners at hi G's. I heard that the 88 motors came with an updated oil baffle in the pan that prevents this, but I'm not sure.

Anyhoo these cars are great fun to race and drift!
