This Video made me smile a lot. I bet this would freak out my mom tho because until now I've told her that you can't drift an MR2 since they're mid engine because I don't want her to be worried lol
@@chelseadenofa oh man it would have been good to tell you. Sw20 lower front control arms with aw11 manual rack spacers combo add both track width and an extra turn of steering angle and camber. Very common mod in the aw11 community
@@traxxasslash95 the rack spacer is a bolt-on extender of the toe rods. Basically it goes onto the rack that goes inside the casing and widens the mounting area where the inner toe rod goes into. It corrects the extra width of the control arm to tie rod length ratio. And since it goes on the INSIDE ot allows the rack to turn just a bit more before bottoming out from the joint of the inner tie rod
@@PeterXChhanX With modified knuckles it's better to go with an offset rack spacer which basically offset the tie rod balljoint forward (or backwards depending on vehicle). It will, just like the rack spacer extend the width of the tie rod, but instead of providing additional lock for the rack, it will give the tie rods a straighter angle at full lock to reduce binding at full lock.
These cars are a ton of fun. I use mine for rallycross with a V6, and agree, keep in the throttle and it won't snap on you. I'd love to explore what you did on the knuckles to increase angle, which would also increase steering response. The QUAIFFE quick steer rack is a great investment. It took a lot of the dead area in the center wheel out of my car.
Goodridge should still make off the shelf braided lines to suit the AW11. I think mine cost me about $130AUD shipped from the UK back in 2011. You'll get much nicer pedal feel, as well as being safer. Also consider a Brake bias valve to limit the front circuit to stop the fronts locking up so early.
Be careful! The sw20 is no drift car hahaha!! Your swap is lighter in the rear and has plenty of power so that's good. Just please don't break your unicorn car!!
Hunter Altman I actually live about 30 minutes away from the track that Chelsea Denofa is driving and have driven it before, so I’m probably going to send it😂
Thank you so much for clearing that up about snap oversteer. I daily my SW20 and every once in a while someone is like "wont it snap oversteer when ur in a corner???". Yeah it will, but only if you drive it like a moron and don´t know what you´re doing. If you can leave the throttle and steering inputs smooth and not abrupt, MRs are a charm to drive, even fast. Just don´t step on the brakes mid corner (what you shouldn´t really do in any car) and it will hold the line like a champ.
@@Shalbyder oh absolutely agree, as soon as you leave tarmac and go for gravel roads it becomes a helpful tool. When I had FWD car it even saved my ass a couple of times to get that extra grip on the front wheels mid corner. Is it faster? No. Possible and useful in certain cases. Absolutely.
@@lefunghi6151 yes it’s useful indeed. Not fast though lmao. But you know everything in a car which is wrong can technically be used sometimes to be good I think… Even on tarmac breaking mid corner with my FWD saved my ass couple times from understeer, as oversteer in an FWD car if done purposely is in my opinion way less dangerous then that ultra bad understeer.
It's rad to see some one else shredding in an mr2. I taught myself how to drift in a 5sfe sw20 (na 125ish hp on a good day?) Lol winter snow and rain definitely helps. Everyone swore up and down that it wasn't doable. Especially with an open diff, but every other car I've driven after that has been cake to drive. Many near death experiences to be had for sure, but hella stoked to see this! 🤙
This is encouraging, I've considered trying to drift my beetle, someone has just started putting together events in my area and I've got a spare diff to weld. And plenty of steering angle.
Just came across this video Been lurking your videos for close to two years now and owned an AE86 over 15 years of my life so to see you drift midship bt20v had me by surprise.. You make it look so easy!!
What I was hoping to hear, and maybe I missed it: What is the specific technique for keeping a mid engine car drifting versus front engined? The whole point of everyone using front engine is that it's seemingly a lot easier to control and more natural (possibly just flat out better). But I was told there was a technique needed for mid engine cars specifically that isn't needed as much for front engine.
This reminds me of something you'd see at a CARBOY drift event in the early 90's haha, they used to be pretty popular in Japan. It's sad that no one uses them anymore!
Wanting to see more MR2 vids! I just got a major interest in these cars There's not many vids on these cars, other than high hp drag racing. I currently have a e36, but I'm leaning hard on wanting to take on a Spyder project!!
You explained how the car drives in low grip scenarios perfectly. I drive a '87 MR2 in rallycross and it's hard to put into words how it feels. In 3 years of events I've only looped it once its not unmanageable. It is easy to not setup properly and just push losing time but when you get it right the car just dances on course
I used to have a 86 aw11 with a red top 4age 3 rib ran a techno toy itb adapter with silver top trottlebodys used a megasquirt ecu and coverted to map system control fun car supper revy
The steering rack in these cars is compatible with an ae71/ae86 rack. It's a common swap for guys who like manual steering into their corollas. If you want power steering, chances are a power steering rack from an ae71/ae86 would bolt in.
Man, I miss my AW11 so much. Such a cool looking car. Maybe throw a small eBay turbo and a megasquirt on it?? Or you can 3SGTE swap it and make around 250whp. Either way, awesome video and stellar driving my guy.
The snap oversteer rumors are supposedly because the '85-'86 models have a rear sway bar and the '87-'89's don't, as well as them beefing up the front swaybar after that. The '87+'s aren't supposed to have the mounts for the end links on the strut towers (or when they do, they only have one side and not the other) but during the transition in '87 from the MK1A to the MK1B toyota mixed and matched alot of parts, so on the '87 cars you end up with a lot of weird combinations. Mine is an '87 and i got lucky, it has both the mounts so i'm planning on putting a rear on, possibly even disconnecting the front whenever i want to drift. Maybe you could try that if you end up needing a little more bite out of the front?
@@chelseadenofa I just got a 86 and both the sway bars were off. I only had rear end links so i have just been driving around with only the rear, now thinking about doing something about the steering angle and sending it to a drift event with the stock na 4ge and stock suspension to see how it handles. I am not really a drifter just like mountain drives and autocross, but i can tell this car wants to be sideways
I think the hardest Thing with drifting an MR would be following in tandem as MR cars don’t like to slow down mid corner. So if the leader slows abruptly you’re kinda screwed.
Maybe the C60 6 speed trans might help, it has a 4.5 final and they came with the manual Black Top 20v. You might get one for cheap from someone doing a 20v swap in their hachi though👍🏽 Love the build! Always wanted to play with an AW11 so this vid was awesome to watch so thank you for that 🙌🏾👌🏽
Ayy! So cool to see you drifting an MR2, it's fun isn't it!? My channel has quite a few videos of me drifting my MR2 Spyder (lsd, K20, hydro, stock angle)
my trick was always to just lift off while turning to get the rear end out, and then give gas to push it out more, and get the front end in more, ive only ever driven one of these, but man i want one, its a literal oversteer machine.
I daily drive an SC aw do it man I love my car, bought a second NA to build a drift car last year and Chelsea beat me too it lol. Now I've got a blueprint at least and he answered a million questions for me with this vid
Quaife makes a quick ratio rack for these. 2.5 lock to lock. You can also add rack spacers from techno toy tuning too. Techno toy tuning has tons of suspension stuff for Aw11!
Awesome video! Just picked up a aw11 and currently swapping a 2zzge and c60 transmission. It makes me think based on your video it will be the perfect drift swap. The motor gives a good 200 hp stock and the c60 is a 6 speed with shorter gears to enable more 2nd gear drifts. To me it's the more modern setup that still is well balanced for the aw11 chassis. I'm definitely taking notes on your drift setup. Thanks for the video! Maybe I'll take off my widebody and give the timeattack car some sliding! :)
Snap oversteer is just what you think it’s not. In a FR layout you let off the throttle to draw out the donut/slide. In a MR layout it does the opposite. To any driver who doesn’t that would cause the vehicle to oversteer further or pendulum over when trying to recover from an oversteer situation.
Can you please show how to weld the diff on a mid engine car?! I wanna drift my mr2 but I heard it’s bad to weld a mid engine diff and there’s no guide online. You can also add and electric power steering from a 2000-2003 ZZW30 MRS it’s very nice.
It's just a FWD transaxle. Toyota C50. Very similar to a C150/C160 used in later Yaris', Celica's and MR-S'. Any video that shows disassembly/rebuilding one will be all you need to know. Plenty of vids on Honda transaxles being taken apart that will give you the gist of what needs to be done, too. You might break CV's more often, after welding the diff.
I don't see why it would be any different than a front engined car as far as durability when done properly. It is a lot harder to get to the diff since you have to pull and open the transmission, and if a weld breaks loose it might be able to get into the transmission and destroy that too. I would say it is bad to weld any diff that isn't going to exclusively see drift use and never be put on the road or used for grip.
Looking at ratio calculators, a C160 6 speed swap from an AE111 would apparently make first gear top out round 63kmhr. Might be what you need to get it spinning second?
It is the first two years of the sw20 that have a reputation for snap oversteer and it isn't referring to the initial slide, it is about suddenly gripping up and snapping back the other way. Still just driver error though.
Ive been wanting to make my mr2 a fun street drift car, and I have an mr2, stock, and I want to put in a bucket seat and harness and a wheel and all that in the interior, but I never knew how to make it a good drift car. I guess ill try and give it more steering angle, a hydraulic handbrake, some light wheels, and some coilovers and nicer brake pads, and maybe even itbs. I want it to sound good, be na if possible. If I turbo it ill put on big brakes, but thanks for the video. If possible could you send me a link to the parts you got for it?
@@roland9367 Last time I spun was at a track day and I let the clutch out too fast shifting down into 2nd and it locked up a rear wheel. Around town in the rain is lots of fun for sure.
@@cGreer20 Yes I used to do that on the track for a tight corner. Let the clutch go when turning in 2nd, so that the back kicks out and you van turn in faster. I think it should also be a good way to start a drift. But if it's not raining, you hardly have enough power, or to much grip.
So all of the turns at our track are decel turns. So if you want to momentum drift you have to enter each turn very slow. Also in this video I am handbraking to extend the drift because I don’t have enough wheelspeed with the gearing/power combo
I'm building my aw11 right now to drift. How did you weld the diff? I'm putting a 3sgte in mine and a non lsd e153. Should I throw an LSD in the trans before I drop the car on the engine? So cool someone else is drifting an aw11
Wait how did you get the coilovers on there? I've been doing a bunch of research and I can only find bc coilovers for 87-89, but that steering wheel is 85-86. The front top mounts are different and its really throwing me off.
hey chelsea! what would you do to make a e46 drift? is subframe reinforcement necessary? its a 5spd 2.5 sedan with coilovers, custom lsd, new suspension arms, and new cooling system. or would you rather save up and buy another e36 instead?
If you go through his "how to drift" series, he uses a bone stock E46 with the only mod being an adjustment to the factory hand brake to improve lock up.
@@chelseadenofa Seems fair, I almost bought one last weekend for twenty four hundred bucks and the seller was selling it for a neighbor and did not have the title, but I had the money in my pocket and was ready to go, slept on it and realized I do not need a two-seater as a father of four with a business that installs large tropical plants in interior spaces so good luck with your sale
i want to build something similar to it, that flip car from fast & furious 6 that has also engine in mid of it, and i dont know how to handle it with shifter..? how did you or would you do it with engine + gearbox for front wheeler cars..?

In a FR layout you let off the throttle to draw out the donut/slide. In a MR layout it does the opposite. To any driver who doesn’t that would cause the vehicle to oversteer further or pendulum over when trying to recover from an oversteer situation.

If I turbo it ill put on big brakes, but thanks for the video. If possible could you send me a link to the parts you got for it?
Do the c60 swap, it will help immensely even with the stock motor. LSD it too (The Kaaz is $1100)
Thanks for the upload! They are the best. A standard in the space. You are the car world's PewdiePie. Shreddy Kruger rebrand and call it a day. GGEZ
This guy is good, I just like to see guys that can drift without the hydraulic handbrake
Good luck on a go kart track... would be super whack driving without it.
20v 4age..insta like...initial D reference...take my money dude
god it sounds beautiful
Chelsea, forget all that formula D top level racing crap ... stay on UA-cam and make more videos for us!
formula d pays the bills
Nah it doesn’t pay bills it gives me the platform to do this stuff
The only times i've had the rear end come around unexpectedly was in the wet.
I have this AW11 as well, and in the wet it is really fun to see where the limits are. Let it break out a little bit.
@@roland9367 Last time I spun was at a track day and I let the clutch out too fast shifting down into 2nd and it locked up a rear wheel. Around town in the rain is lots of fun for sure.
@@cGreer20 Yes I used to do that on the track for a tight corner. Let the clutch go when turning in 2nd, so that the back kicks out and you van turn in faster.
I think it should also be a good way to start a drift. But if it's not raining, you hardly have enough power, or to much grip.

I wonder if you could snap oversteer to your advantage
I will like to thank Chelsea for making AW11 MR2 more expensive... JK. Sweet Blacktop swap 4AGE man, never seen one drift.
I missed your videos man!
Does Chelsea know how to drift without a handbrake? (Just wondering) it doesn’t seem like he likes to use momentum to initiate a slide or transition
So all of the turns at our track are decel turns. So if you want to momentum drift you have to enter each turn very slow.
Also in this video I am handbraking to extend the drift because I don’t have enough wheelspeed with the gearing/power combo
Chelsea DeNofa I see, yea I guess PARC isn’t the best for that type of drifting
Wtf that was you
I have some pics of this at parc spring bash
That was sick you were keeping up with t28 sr's
Did you ever see the guy up North Course with the MRS looked like some craic.
I'm building my aw11 right now to drift. How did you weld the diff? I'm putting a 3sgte in mine and a non lsd e153. Should I throw an LSD in the trans before I drop the car on the engine? So cool someone else is drifting an aw11
Gotta split the case and weld the diff
Wait how did you get the coilovers on there? I've been doing a bunch of research and I can only find bc coilovers for 87-89, but that steering wheel is 85-86. The front top mounts are different and its really throwing me off.
Best aw11 video on UA-cam. How did you mod the angle?
hey chelsea! what would you do to make a e46 drift? is subframe reinforcement necessary? its a 5spd 2.5 sedan with coilovers, custom lsd, new suspension arms, and new cooling system. or would you rather save up and buy another e36 instead?
If you go through his "how to drift" series, he uses a bone stock E46 with the only mod being an adjustment to the factory hand brake to improve lock up.
Yea it’s important to reinforce the subframe for longevity
Si tu parlais français vraiment je crois que j'allais être un chef des DRIFT, vu que tu enseigne très bien. Merci
informative well presented fun video, how much was the purchase & additional upgrades & maintenance? thanks
The car with coilovers, 20V swap, steering angle, wheels, handbrake, and everything else you see is for sale for $4500

Seems fair, I almost bought one last weekend for twenty four hundred bucks and the seller was selling it for a neighbor and did not have the title, but I had the money in my pocket and was ready to go, slept on it and realized I do not need a two-seater as a father of four with a business that installs large tropical plants in interior spaces so good luck with your sale
What did you go with toe in rather than a positive camber in the rear?
that car flirted with you xDD it is beautiful car 😊
i want to build something similar to it, that flip car from fast & furious 6 that has also engine in mid of it, and i dont know how to handle it with shifter..? how did you or would you do it with engine + gearbox for front wheeler cars..?
