      You can beat on it as long as you take care of it. Very clean. Im going to look at a 2001 WS6 today, only down side is its an auto. The price is right so i dont mind the sacrifice. What part of FL are you in Kenny?

  • @rayk9897
    @rayk9897 Před 4 lety +4

    Very nice indeed! However, I should point out that you do not need everything your car has to drift like you do. I see a lot of people wanting to copy another one's build and as a previous owner of 3 f-bodies, they are quite drift-able bone stock. I think simple mods like suspension and chassis upgrades will get you into the sport. That Moser 12 bolt is a pricey piece but oh so very strong! Appreciate you taking the time to share your build and how it all works together. For anyone reading this, if you own one, get out and practice. You don't need to buy anything to start... well, except for tires. You gonna need a LOT of those! :)

    I took my Firehawk to a few drift events back in 2005. Back then the import guys at the shows used to say the car is too big and the engine is too heavy and imbalanced in the chassis. Well, ain't life grand fast forward over a decade and everybody is running LS conversions. The import guys back then really didn't know anything about f bodies. I was surprised back then that nobody figured out that these would make great drift cars. Everybody I talked to was impressed by my firehawk. I'm glad guys like you are out there popularizing it. F bodies still rock!

    Not that you necessarily care about more power, but you’d be shocked how much power you gain if you get the 3” pipes on the Y merging into a 4” cutout. Especially with a motor that size. Two 3” pipes merging into a single 3” pipe is a huge restriction and causes a lot of the drone and kackling these cars are known for. Flowmaster Y300400. That is one nice and clean TA!

    Very pretty.. But with all the mods you have done, its not surprising you actually aren't using the stock D/S. They came w Three Rivers 3" aluminum driveshafts, so that's either an earlier 4th gen d/s or if it measures a full 3" its got to be some aftermarket one, likely made by a local shop if you havent seen any Branding from a larger company (DSS/etc).
