r/Drifting

Located and confirmed for your enjoyment, Have fun out there! IYKYK :)

While waiting for my mx5 to be rebuilt just made a little edit of me having some fun in her

got to take my manual supra out. before assetto i couldn’t even do a basic donut so im pretty happy with where i ended up after 90 minutes

Just wanted to share some progression and a clean lap around Apple Valley Speedway

First test drive of this 1/10 fpv rc drift car
Build is meant to be as scale and realistic as possible.
Work in progress

Scale dash running Kairuhshq landscape kit track 1 screen
Speed is accurate from gps and scaleable in settings. It's more accurate after letting it collect satellites. Lap timer triggered by arm switch or brake hold

I got a factory manual SHELL sitting on teins, s200 seats, AN fuel lines all pedals are there and I bought the car for $650. There’s a stock auto non running s13 missing all glass for sale for 1600,I’ve had 2 s 13 AND I wanted another but I need some one to tell me if I’m being stupid about the trade. I asked him to send me gas tank pics and if it’s rusted than I’m not doing it but am I being dumb about this? Pic of my sc

My 9 year old son has been racing go karts for a few years now, but for the past couple of years he’s been obsessed with drifting. What are the odds I could actually get him on a track at a grassroots drift event or parking lot event? I drifted when I was younger, and I have an SR20 S13 I could outfit for him, but I’m curious if there’s a chance at all at getting him behind the wheel soon.

P.S. Before anyone comments on safety, I strongly believe drifting is safer than the next level of competitive youth racing (midgets, bandolero, etc).

Working on a sim drift platform and trying to figure out pricing before I lock anything in. Don't want to charge above what the audience actually uses.

Open questions I can't answer alone:

- Subscription or per-event entry — which makes more sense for sim drift?

- What's the actual #1 frustration in AC drift today? (I have guesses, want to be wrong)

Happy to discuss in the thread. Tell me what I'm missing.

Got to check off another track on the bucket list. Drifted Andorra Circuit with Fittergang.

Drifter from Poland here. Been in the local scene for a couple of years. Developer by day. About a year ago I noticed something that bugs me more every season: drift stuff is scattered everywhere. Track days lost in group chats. Open-practice announcements on Facebook pages nobody finds in time. Cars for sale on six different listing sites. Results posted to Instagram and gone two days later. There's no place that's just for us.

So I built DriftHub. The idea was simple: one drift-only home for the stuff drifters actually look for. Especially events. And by events I mostly mean track days and training sessions - competitions are just on top. Try finding a clean list of where you can actually drift in your country this month, without bouncing between Facebook, league sites, and group chats. You can't.

I built it for Poland first because that's my home market. I know the series, the people, the tracks. But "drift content scattered everywhere" looks like a universal problem, which is why I'm posting here.

What it is right now:

• Drift event calendar - free for everyone. Track days, training sessions, open practice first; competitions on top. Free to list, free to browse. Polish tracks and series for now, but I'll add any country's stuff if there's a source to pull from. This is the part I care about most.
• Drift car listings - paid. Real fields: engine code, diff type (welded / 1.5 / 2-way), hydro, cage cert, wheel power on E85, angle kit make. Basic listing is 19 PLN (~$5), Regular and Premium go up from there with more visibility.
• Plus a blog, and a drift newsletter.

I plan to add to the website actual tracks/spots, better competition events tracking, simdrifting section and drift schools with opinions and their offer.

Where I want roast:

1. What sucks? Anything broken, slow, missing, or just wrong. Heads up: I'm in the middle of reimplementing the front end with a new design, so not every page is beautiful yet. Tell me anyway. Ugly is fixable. Honest is better than polite.
2. What's cool? If anything actually works for you, tell me which part. I genuinely don't know which features will matter outside the Polish bubble.
3. Does this even need to exist? Every drifter I asked locally said "yeah, it's a mess, this would help". But those same people will keep using Facebook because that's where their friends post. Do you actually feel the pain, or is "scattered" just how drift internet is supposed to feel?
4. Who's the competition where you are? US, UK, Australia, Japan, anywhere. What do you use today? Is there already a drift-only home in your country I should know about? When I googled, I mostly got generic car-sale sites and Craigslist screenshots. If there's a real one in your market, tell me and I'll go cry. If there isn't, would you use this?

Site: drifthub.net (English by default; /pl/ for the Polish version).

I'll be in the comments. Tell me where it falls apart, what your country's drift internet looks like today, and what would make you actually use a thing like this. The harshest replies usually fix the most. Thanks a ton!

you don’t really see many nd’s out drifting and there’s a whole lot of reasons why. I’ve been taking this car out on the weekends and in the rain and after maybe 30 very short 5 min max sessions the stock lsd has completely worn to shit. I finally noticed when attempting tighter donuts here and I could barely keep the rear sliding. You can see at the end my burnout im only spinning one wheel. really surprised how fragile the stock lsd was and hoping to find one with a little more of an aggressive lockup.

Chelsea DeNofa’s 2.3L EcoBoost Foxbody is a cool project and we were proud to have a part in it.

Panda Motorworks built the motor for this car and helped with the calibration to make sure the setup was right for the way the car is being used. In a drift application, the engine package needs to be responsive, consistent, and reliable under load. That starts with the right mechanical foundation before you ever get into final tuning.

The 2.3L EcoBoost is an interesting choice for a Foxbody because it brings modern turbocharged power into a lightweight chassis. It gives the car a different feel than a traditional Foxbody setup while still keeping the powerband useful for drifting.

A unique build, a real performance purpose, and an EcoBoost platform being used in a serious drift car.

What do you guys think of the setup?
