Drifting

[hdelsol]

Any one around here into drifting. or silvia s14s. or has seen the drift bible. asian cars i think are the best. Like Nissan Honda Toyota Subaru. but the 90's cars are the best

[ferrarifreak013]

why, just curious on why you think that cause i think you might be on the wrong site. not trying to be rude and welcome. i also like them im actually getting a 98 prelude once i get a job. allthough they are extremley reliable and they are good at getting alot of power out of small engines, but they dont have alot of special technology which is in my opinion is a good. tommy kaira cars are absoluteley amazing in my opinion. i once talked to a guy in europe who sold tommy kaira rr which is there tuned skyline for an insanely low price and i asked him why and his answer was he had another and a nur. i was very jealous

Wellcome to UCP. I recognize that drifting takes quite a bit of driver skill, but I'm just not into it. I like motorsports where the fastest car wins. In drifting you get points for the angle of the drift, how much smoke the tyres make and so on. I'll stay with real racing.

i do drifting/powersliding for fun(in Gran Turismo 4) It's not only fun but it is required to counter understeer in certain cars.

i own an S14 (see avatar)

i drift, have watched the "drift bible." it makes out that its "easy." its not.

it costs alot to get into it, it costs a lot to keep doing it and it costs alot when you stuff up.

Silvias are made to drift, everything else is a wannabe.

anybody who doesn't use a viper for drifting is clearly very misinformed.
;)

[whiteballz]

or a turbo with any less diameter then a viper rear wheel cant be taken seriously.

Im pretty sure that "costs alot" is generally applied to all forms of racing.

Drifting, in my opinion, is less dangerous than normal high-speed racing. It's also hard and fun. RWD cars are easy to drift because they push the car. FWD pulls, meaning that drifts are harder, and AWD (Skyline, WRX) is even harder than FWD.

You can't "drift" a FWD. You can put it into oversteer, but you can't control it. As soon as you apply power or brakes it'll just straighten out or spin. You can't hold it sideways.

No, you didn't.

[h00t_h00t]

Yeah he did rallying doesn't- and has never- existed. EVER.

[Juggs]

Yes Id have to agree, but you can glide it on the marbles..and thats fun. The saudi drift clip is pretty entertaining, was that a rear wheel drive car?

[555SUBARUWRT]

I`ve seen some ffotage of Drifting on TV & The net, And straight away I thought WOW! Cool!

As I`m a big fan of RWD Cars being driven sideways, I really liked the look of it, It can get boring at times, but overall it ain`t too bad,

I have fun drifting on Gran Turismo 4 in a special D1GP Drift Mazda RX7 & That`s a great laugh!

That's what "left foot braking" is for.
Properly setup and you can keep an FWD out there :D

The comments under that video are brilliant.


"dick i have a civic and ill e brake all over ur ****ing drift. lets bet that i can "drift" sicker than u in w/e ur drivin ,in my civic sleeper"

[LandQuail]

That's the first video involving Arabic people I've seen in ages that didn't end with a Humvee exploding.

It's comforting, in a way.

[draggster454]
