I wish that the two hamsters that power the Miata had enough balls to break traction without water on the ground.

Can you get anything in 15" from Kumho?

That will force it to go sideways, but without dedicated drift setup, it won’t keep the angle, catch grip and get right back in track.

I’d need to get rid of sticky tires, mess around with spring rates and mess with the tire pressure to get it to maintain a drift.

1st generation 1.8.

Even if it has stock components I’m sure the suspension was tuned for the event, prior.

yeah bump up the rears to 40+ psi, and repeatedly clutch kick. Not even kidding.

Every time you feel you’re getting grip back, kick the clutch.
