Id really dig to know your suspension setup, Please be the first drifter to add your specs to my Drift Setup thread 🙂

oh and when are you guys getting the bigger SR20 sumps, .. and do you guys bring in the 5x114 Hubs for the S13's?

Shot

I would like to know about all the above and what LSD you running????

The LSD on the S13 is not too good.

Howzit guy's.
My SX was a automatic, so it did'nt come out with a LSD....
I took my Dif in to be welded shut, and it works out beautifully, Jay-Boy just did the same as me, and he is also pleasd.

Its allot cheaper than a proper LSD, and no real side efects, just your turning radious is increased, and don't try and be brave in the wet on the road, it gets little twitchy with the lock diff, but nothing scary.

Just remember, that if you go this rout, there is no going back, unless you buy a LSD, because if you lock diff break, its over, you need to replace and do the whole process over again, there is no way you will be able to fix it, its gone!!!

A propel LSD will set you back about R9500.00 and a secondhand SX diff, about R1800.00-R2500.00, and the welding about R1800.00.

Hope this help you guy's in making the right desision for your application.

All I can say, is that I'm verry happy I welded my dif, it works beautifully for the drifting, but I know some of you out there dont need the same aplications than the drift ouks.

P.S. Happy sliding! 😉

Cool, sounds good to me:) Shot for the info.
....and you say street driving is fine with the welded diff, as i dont have a trailer so i'll need to drive to all the tracks ( sometimes fairly far ).

Not a problem.
I drove my car down to Mafakeng a couple of weeks ago for an event, and so did Tim from the rock, his dif also welded.
Flo also used to drive his car from Kimberly and back for practice, and even once to Cape Town, with lockd diff, no warry's.

Go ahead, weld that diff, just take it to a decent place.

Charel,

You must be aware that we are going to give that mobile enabled web site of yours another go. And I think, all these good advice and coaching is the perfect contents for such an application.

But we will be in touch again.

Charel dude you rock! Have watched you drift numerous times with effortless ease. Thanks to you I am also currently looking for an SX14 to come and join you guys. I tried drifting many years ago with my Old mans 5.20i on the dirt on the plaas hehehe 🙂

Now the time has come to get serious on the tar! 🙂

100 bucks gets you into the car for a few seconds too!

Congrats on your 3rd place finish on Saturday Charel.

Especially seeing as you had no handbrake to initiate with.
Well done bud!

I think you give him too little credit, he didnt just have no handbrake, he had no brakes on the rear right due to a blown seal! Luckily they managed to plug the brake line to at least keep the rest working.

I loooved the low speed initiations he did as a result

Slow S14 entrance at 50kph ---> Clutch kick ---> Smoke ---> 100kph exit speed...

yeah it was funny to otto struggle when charel was in front, cos he was so slow, and then suddenly have to play catch up in the middle!!!

and congrats to bruno too! he fought a big battle there!
