Here's an update on some extensive modifications to a drift car I've completed recently. Customer was after 55 to 60degrees of steering lock to help him get more angle through the corners at the track. Std lock probably is about 30 or so and this car already had 40deg just from modifying the steering arms previously. To achieve more resulted in fabricating new lower control arms, moving steering rack forward, shortening steering arms even more, and then cutting out anything that fouled the tyres at these crazy angles. Lower ball joints were moved down to help restore roll centre from the car being lowered and a bit of weight reduction of K-frame. This car is fitted with a fairly modified LS1 and single huge turbo, and goes pretty good.
