I know the Miata isnt the greatest drift platform or most powerful but I love sliding mine Miata around for fun. And its awesome practice for the cars that are more powerful and have a better wheelbase/setup for drift. Basically I love driving my car lol. Anyone else on here like drifting or drift their Miata?

Mattgee- true. I usually try to find out about events before they happen and then I try to save as much money as possible before hand. But you really don't need much to drift just you and the and car......some tires n gas lol

Wakabama- awesome man!!!!! What all have you done some far???
I'm running the iconcent rods/spacers with a supernow bumpsteer kit and it's amazing!!!!!!! I added about 20* degrees of angle and it makes a huge difference when driving. The Miatas very Short wheelbase calls for lots of steering angle so I'll do whatever I can to get as much as I can. The only down side to the rods/spacers is that the setup kills your steering rack eventually cause it's not designed to go that far....I've already been through 3 racks lol
And no you don't need a roll bar to drift at cordele. You should definitely try to make it out there. It's a fun event kool chill people that love drifting and you get lots of seat Time
