S550 drift build

[KingFuze]

its just i am building a drift car too. I went for the jtp angle kit. just need to sort the rears out.

I would have gone with his kit but not worth switching all my brake shit over to 14 in s197 wilwood brakes also the bigger 15in gt350 rear calipers I don't think would bias well with it either

Justin emailed me and said it's the s197 mustang 14 inch wilwood brake kit that's needed. Main reason I didn't go with his kit lol but he's building another version I think to accommodate like street car setups

Damn that's what kept me from running that kit. Justin emailed me and said it's the s197 mustang wilwood front 14in brake kit that's used

Have done 2 events since I posted last. One at midpond then another at nashville superspeedway. I lost power steering at midpond due to mud and water in the rack, so I replaced it and Ford wasn't able to get it programmed to the car so I was doing 100mph entries at nashville with no power steering. Shit was insane lol

Also picked up a sponsorship from voodoo13 for my rear suspension. Car felt absolutely fantastic going sideways at 100mph between them and SPL in the front the car feels great. Voodoo13 was my go to from the get go I just reached out to see if they'd be interested in working together before I bought the arms lol

my last drift car was an r32 skyline and now i am building a mustang for drifting. So how does the mustang compare to the jdm? What is your experience?

Honestly bro this is my first car I've ever drifted and I've only done 5 events lol I have a 240 that's not finished but I've never drifted one. I got tired of waiting for it so I built the mustang. But I absolutely love it mine is super simple and will keep up with pro am cars no problem. I literally drove it 4 hours this weekend to my uncle's then an hour to the event now 4 hours home no problem. I have all billet timing components so my coyote is bullet proof AF. Honestly don't mind the mt82 transmission either lol

Been busy since I had a baby in March and started a new job shortly after but I figured I would post an update on the car incase anyone is still looking at this. Full FD spec roll cage from TopGarage in Buford, GA.

Nice build, looks like you’re having a bunch of fun.

Keep building your skills and when the time is right tandem will blow your mind. So much fun.

Thankyou I really appreciate it! Just working on smaller stuff right now. Like figuring out how to have the stock clutch pack diff welded and a dual caliper setup and the car should be perfect for entry level comp. I just cant justify the cost ame headache of boosting it at the moment because of how reliable it has been
