Originally posted by 240sxguy72 Yea, i think that was my problem. i didn't have enough speed going into the turn and i let off the throttle too soon. it's hard to find a decent place to drift around here. man i wish people would stop being so uptight. just be glad we aren't street racing. I have really only drifted 15 - 20 times over the last 8 months and I have improved over what I was doing in the beginning. You are not going to have the confidence to hit turns ultra fast if you don't get out and learn: How hard you can hit a turn. How to correct for too much steam. When to panic and put a stop to the drift. How to stop the car (this can be fun, sometimes a counter move can only load the springs more and flick you over and over). Get yourself to a DGTA or legal event, even if you are not driving. I will help you out. I might not be a great drifter but I am a damn fine teacher. I have the mechanics down pat. |

ULTRA ****ED UP Streets are fun. Just hit the track so you know when to calm the fugg down. |
Originally posted by StanBo Get this one. We were drifting legally at a track event. A news crew shot footage of us thru a chain link fence and used the footage in a "street racing" article. ULTRA ****ED UP Streets are fun. Just hit the track so you know when to calm the fugg down. |
Originally posted by StanBo Have you gotten yourself to a legal event yet? The runs you get there will teach you a lot. Or more so you get what you put in. The opportunity to learn a lot is there.

You need NO MODS. If you don't believe me give me your car and I will show you some stuff. |
