    Red face Un-Drift Spec The S14?!

    Alright guys, I have an s14 and its a bit drift spec, I want to run some track days this year as Im not really into drifting anymore...
    so to get to my question as im not too clued up on this stuff atm...
    should I leave the followig on my car or would it be best to go backwards here? :

    extended arms
    modified knuckles
    offset rack spacers
    extended tie rods ...

    I want the car to perform on track, it wont be seeing much of the road!

    whats does everyone recommend?

    A good drift car should be a decent track car with the right alignment. Front or rear knuckles? You want your roll centre etc to be close to stock ideally.

    just the front knuckles have been done dude! the rear just has camber arms, took the r32 welded diff off ages ago and fitted an s15 LSD... like it does handle alright but I had a spill in it last autumn and I just wat everything right before I tackle this year now! such a tough decicion after all the parts have been fitted already!

    As long as it's solid, straight and reliable there's absolutely no reason why it can't be fun on track. Good set of tyres and brakes and have your suspension geo setup correctly and you'll be good to go. The Whiteline alignment settings are a safe bet.

    its had a bump, going to do some shakedowns on the road once its back on the road and get the alignment setup for it! going to spend a bit on new frot ad rear arms too so I can have a clean platform.. cheers matey I think ill leave it with a wide track for now then and see how it goes!
