[Image: 20140715_144422_zpsrwqpm82m.jpg] wanted to do this for a long time and finally got this car running.
its been modded with 3racing 20t pulley on the layshaft for rear, and i used a streetjam 30t diffoulley and coupled it to a 416 spool. Which gives a ratio of 1.5.
i tried to get a s3m 165 belt but couldnt find one so i got a s3m 168 and tensioned it.
as for the front i used original kawada 16t pulley coupled to a 36t one way diff which gives ratio of 2 .25. Front 2.25/rear 1.5 gives a cs of 1.5.
For the steering i used the original setup except i used the inner hole on the knuckles to reduce ackerman angle. To top it up i used my 87 skyline body with lights. I am planning to buy a protoform 1971 firebird body. Right now the car drives a little too fast ..i dont know why..when compared to other cs chassis

Car is too fast? Meaning too much grip? Try reducing camber in rear and remove rear sway bar. Liking this build already. I believe in the"Run what you bring and mod till it runs like a new chassis" approach. Mad props for not hopping on the band wagon and just buying a new chassis. Hope to see footage of this soon.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes i guess its gripping too much thats why its moving quickly. I thought i would have to increase more negative camber to reduce grip ? As for steering travel i am not too sure its enough but with the one way and spool seems enogh for now. It swings the rear much easier than before with 50/50.
Increase negative camber = reduce camber. What tires do you run? Try mst hardest drift tire.

camber and tires are to me like 75% of the whole adjusting process to make a drifter go sideways. Very important. there are many ways to achieve at least 50-60% steering angle. Good luck and have fun.
