REQUIRED MODS FOR DRIFTING.(Beginners Steps)

 Important mods to start drifting.

After getting a car to drift now it time to make that car as Drift Car.

if you still need help getting a drift car in India you can check out my previous blog.

So lets get started..

• SAFETY.

Safety is a very important, and mandatory mod. motorsport is a very dangerous sports. So safety first everything next. Even you are not going ham, pedal to the metal still safety is important because things happen.

        1. Roll cage/ Roll bar:

            Understand you are not going for pro drifting or something like that but still you can roll over. So not a full pro level roll cage is not necessary, but if you want it really good. But for beginner a 6 point roll cage is good enough. "Roll cage save life's".

        2. BUCKET SEATS.

              Bucket seats are also necessary for your safety. You  can just buy basis non fia approved seats. That do help you be planted in place and not mover you around even after crashes. Bucket seat also help you with weight reduction.

        3. SEAT BELT.

            Seat belts are really critical. Please avoid buying 4 point seat belt, because of submarine. As the name it self means in event of crash you might just slid off the seat and might end up near pedals, and that's not gonna be good. So I recommend 5 point seat belt or 6 point. (link available for 5 point seat belt above:) ). 

          4. FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

                IT is a must thing to have. If you are have a full built you fire suppression system if cost a lots of money but it is a lot safer. But if you cant afford use any kind of fire extinguisher in your car. link above for one.

AFTER ALL THE SAFETY NOW ITS TIME TO GO ON PERFORMANCE. THE FUN PART.

• WEIGHT.

A one of important in any kinds of motorsport, every kilo effects your performance. So the less weight the "MORE POWER BABY".

• WEIGHT REDUCTION BASICS.

Now its time to make your car look like a rad drift car.

THINGS YOU CAN REMOVE (INTERIOR).

• Air conditioners
• Heating 
• Radio
• Door panels
• Passenger seats/ rear passenger seats.

THINGS YOU CAN REPLACE

• A Light weight steering wheel.
• Seats with light weight bucket seats .

Now the exterior

• Replacing hood and trunk with carbon fiber, or other light weight material
• Emptying your trunk.(make sure to remove Spare wheel, jack, or what ever is in your trunk before drifting for safety of other people behind you.) 
• Upgrading wheels, there are lots of companies out there manufacturing good, light weight wheel, Choose your pick. ;) 

Next is ENGINE.         

    In Engine we need to look after Power, Reliability.

As much as power is needed, maintaining the engine healthy is equally needed.

       UPGRADES.

• Upgrading your radiator
• Installing upgraded fan setup
• Turbo Charging you car.
• Getting a new decent quality air filter
• Installing a performance Exhaust(generally the more air flow, The "MORE POWER BABY")

This upgrades will help you getting some performance out of the Engine.

Now its time to make your engine reliable.

•  Oiling your engine Time to Time
• Proper maintenance

UPGARDS That helps in drifting.

• Suspension setup.

                      So you want something adjustable. You want something with coil over springs where you can adjust the preload, and also adjust the height separately. 

• Angle kit.

                    If you are just starting off not necessary, but angle kit does help in Drifting.

• DRIFT SETUP.

1.For beginner rear you can go 0 camber, 0 toe. You basically need max grip out of your rear tire.

2. Stiffer, softer sway bar settings.

3. Rear Diff, Welding the rear diff (just welding spider gears)#driftlife :)

4. Stock hand brakes are good enough after tightening up or else you can always go for Hydraulic hand brake.

These are  the things I feel are the most important for you to get started. But other than this STYLE is also as equal as every thing. Make your car look like it shouts and say it belongs to you.
