The swivel mount is so nice cause its letting me also see where you point the tires on your run. You have no idea how helpful this has been for my own seat time in my twin! Thank you! 🙏 🏎💨
great video! so tempting unfortunately but fortunately i daily mine to take make 86 out like this. That last run with the helmet pov was so smooth. What mods (angle kit?) are you running and camber?
Back then the FRS was my daily haha 🤠 It was on Megan inner tie rods and coil overs that’s about it mods wise for drifting, camber around -3 I believe!
Ik this video is old but I came across it looking for answers I have a 2018 86 and I was just curious but would I need to pull the fuse in my car cuz I’ve tried it with traction control all the way off with the normal bottoms but car feels under powered ?
Without headers and such it really is pretty gutless from the factory, high air pressure in the rear always helps and I prefer keeping the fuse pulled if you’re drifting for any prolonged time. Rather have 0 extra factors when drifting if possible 🙌
If you’re initially learning and no angle mods I’d run the stocks or a narrow front 215 or 225s all around would be best imo, any wider wheel will limit angle.
This setup was a 17x9 +35mm w/ +25mm spacer, I was rubbing prior to the spacer on the roll bar but not enough to be a detriment. I know a few drivers who removed their roll bar and prefer it vs keeping it, I now also run no roll bar up front with the PBM angle kit for similar reasons. Hope the info helps! 🙏
Hey man sick video I know this was 3 years ago, but do you prefer the front and rear tyres to be balanced in terms of grip? I know in the video you had super grippy tyres in the front but didn't like it. What was the reasoning for this? Cheers.
Too much of a variance in wheel speed essentially, rear wants to gain speed at a high rate but the front grippier tire won’t won’t move as fast since there’s more friction/stick slowing down the front tires, early on it’s hard to manage that differential and in my case the RE71Rs definitely didn’t help, they really aren’t meant to “float” rather stick no matter the situation, which led to a super twitchy feel I could barely handle. I’d say good rule of thumb stay within 100 treadwear front to rear and you’ll be fine, in this case the difference would have been around 200 TW difference, these days I run Kendas KR20a 300 TW for fronts which feels good but isn’t unbearably sticky.
Is it a bad idea to run two different tire brands/tread ratings on front and rear? I only have 2 sets of wheels and one is for grip driving. So something like Yoko AD08R front and Ironman Gen2 rear.
You’d be able to figure out, it’s just not conducive to learning imo, you’d learn techniques, the car, and link courses quicker with a more predictable setup. These cars in stockish form are super snappy, so I think it’s best to make everything as easy and simple as possible starting out so you got some room for error.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll probably keep an eye out for an extra set of stock wheels over the winter just so I can have consistency with extra tires. In the meantime…more Assetto.
Had a great time learning on the Ironman iMove Gen 2s, relatively cheap, very consistent until they're getting towards the end of life. So far that's really the only tire I have experience with but I've gone through x4 pairs in the rear, no regrets with the iMoves at all!
@@ryevdee6064 thanks for the recommendation! I’m going to my first event this weekend with zero experience, and I have a set of federal 595s that I’m going to use.
Engine is doing great as far as I see! I do frequent oil changes, run good 5w30 oils to avoid over-heating, and I make sure it's filled up to the top line so there's not a lot of fear of oil starvation. Way I see it, it's going to blow one day whether I do it on the street casually or in drift, I'd rather be having fun when the time comes.....XD
@@OtavioRios.fam, watch your oil control valve solenoids. Those things can cause rod knock. But… I actually think I managed to pull the motor replace the rod bearings and it WORKED
Shows how easy it is to have fun with these things, def deserves more likes and views !

Glad I can help! 🙌
love the content, plan to hit my first event in my brz this summer!
Thank you! That’s awesome, you’re going to have a blast! 🙌

Love the video, is that FR-S stock?
I'd call it "full-bolt-on"...but doesn't have a ton of angle, just the Megan tie rods, coils, and good headers!

What section width tires are you running up front? Do you keep it square? Great videos btw!!

@@ryevdee6064 thanks!!
hi dude nice vid!. On this setup with megan tie rods, what are ur front wheel spec?, and is it safe from rubbing?

@@ryevdee6064 Thanks for the reply man, I just bought myself an 86 and taking it out to my first drift event as well.
@andrewchung1838 have fun man 🤟 Don’t be afraid to ask drivers questions 🙏

Mine wont start if i take out the fuse
I’d be sure you’re taking out the right one! Never had that issue or heard of it myself unfortunately.
What year is your car Lookin Likegeo?
@@ryevdee6064 mine is 2016 maybe youre right man
What tires do you find work for you?
Had a great time learning on the Ironman iMove Gen 2s, relatively cheap, very consistent until they're getting towards the end of life. So far that's really the only tire I have experience with but I've gone through x4 pairs in the rear, no regrets with the iMoves at all!

If you can, make sure and cool them down in between laps if they’re getting toasted, other than that crank the psi in the rear and letter rip 👏
Do you use 215 45 R17 as the stock ones?
Yes! You can fit a 225 if you want some extra grip but I find it easier to go the path of least resistance and cost ahah 😜
How is the engine holding up? Hella to nervous to drift mine. Also what do you to prevent it from blowing up while drifting?
Engine is doing great as far as I see! I do frequent oil changes, run good 5w30 oils to avoid over-heating, and I make sure it's filled up to the top line so there's not a lot of fear of oil starvation.

@@ryevdee6064 yeah nothing last forever. I was at Sebring race way hoping to see you. I’m a fan of you channel and you inspired me to make one soon.

What mods do you have at the current time of the video ?
Megan inner tie rods, “FBO” 93 on OFT using an Ace CS400 EL header, why it sounds so annoying 😅
What coilovers are you running? Any Angle Mods?
Tein Streetflex coilovers and in this video we only had the Megan Tie rods for a bit of extra angle 🤘
you need more steering angle and a 2way lsd bro, other than that, solid drifting!!
We’re getting there! 😇
What suspension ans steering mods do you have
In this video: Tein coils and Megan inner tie rods, nowadays I’m on the PBM angle kit and loving it 🙌
Someone learning to drift in a frs wanting me to get a Toyota 86 and learn to drift
Best cars for Motorsport imo! 🙌
Did you use the original LSD?
Yessir!
29 front 38 rear hot right
Yup! Sweet spot for me is definitely around there 🤘
@@ryevdee6064 do you have an instagram?
@@MrMjrcruz Yup! Same name
🙌🏾
👋👋
This set up was fob ?
Fbo*
Indeed just headers and the Megan inner tie rods, the GkTech setup that’s out nowadays would be a better but very similar start 👍
