MCNSPORT: Need for Speed D-Mac 86

Im 99% sure what hes talking about is lads putting serious lock into cars without doing anythig for grip at the back.....!

The more angle ya have the less you'l be moving forward so you have to think about getting grip into the rear of the car to push yourself on....! Thats my thinking of it neway....!

Grip is a massive massive factor in drifting nowadays and you'd be very very surprised at how many lads still don't realise this....!

i cant agree with the grip issue more,, i have serous grip issues off the line and mid drift all year due to a lack of rear setup,, will be dialing in grip over the next few mounths thanks to wez and the lads at wkd

This is one serious build! Great fab work. Can't wait to see the finished article.

I'd say it will be a weapon.

Ya Robbie thats a lot of it but people changing theyre ackerman angle is also causing them problems with forward bite

this intrest me also,as ive been considering extra lock hubs,at the min i think ive enough lock and anymore would only slow your forward motion,i dont really understand ackerman but ive been told removing this means that both wheels turn on lock exactly the same and this reduces the issue with forward motion on lock,now i dont know but would love to hear your side darren,but really other from to save you when u loose it,is there really any need for the amount of lock people are after,sorry for spam

What is Ackerman???

What is Ackerman???

Ackerman angle is a suspension geometry that causes toe out on turns

basically your inside wheel turning mode than your outside

It is an interesting topic and there has been endless threads about it, most of them are full of people claiming they know what their talking about

It seems that a lot of people have got caught up in the backwards entry bandwagon and are modifying hubs with no real idea of what their doing

Removing the ackerman means both wheels turn the same amount, most people dont remove it but reduce it, but dont really no by how much they are reducing it

There will be new hubs available for the front and rear of the silvias soon out of america and they will be the dogs bollocks. made from billet aluminium. Nobody should buy any hubs until these come out!!

What do you think of the driftworks hubs darren....!

Im pretty sure they are a copy of the sptec ones from japan that phil originally bought for his s15

Im on the fence about them. Im not sure if extra r&d was put into them or if they are just straight copies of the sptec items i havent been about to take a good look at them fitted to a car

I know one thing tho, if i had a choice between billet aluminium and welded steel id go for aluminium. Also, the people who are designing these hubs are race engineers who worked in F3 and NASCAR. They bought a s13 and are mapping out all the suspension points and geometry on a computer programme. Then the hubs with be machined from a block af aluminium on their cnc mill. The computer operator is the only labour on them so prices are looking very promising
