Yeah, she needs work and so do I! As soon as I get my daily driver, I'll be submitting her to my sponsors and letting them do everything she needs which includes clutch, suspension, larger brakes and a secret weapon under the hood in the shape of a snail shell!!! LOL!



FUN TIMES!!!

ummmmm good try?? haha

need some work bro..haha

 

Everyone that HAS a racing license and actually participates in events raise your hand...

thought so...

Thanks ^_^

is that an open? Doesnt seem like the torsin diff miatas have.

 

Yeah, it's the torsen from a 1995, in good condition, it's the driver that's having the problems, remember I used to race and drift BMWs, so this is a whole new beast for me, I don't think I've ever owned a car with this little horsepower and that little size.

Revs up . . .keep em there, don't lift until the apex . . .immediately after the apex . . .get back on it hard and fast!

That's what my friend who drifts Miatas told me . . .it seems to work in parking lots and around curves/turns, lets see how it does on the track...

just be happy that you didn't hit the posts on the track. vroom vroom

 

Hey man you had some good drifts. Also were yo powering over or were you usinig E break.

 

ok so im a little wasted but that was funny as hell!!!!!

u shot that first set of cones like 30 feet

and at about 1min 42 sec were the miata goes acrossed the screen...it looks like a geo metro convertible LOL

but still, great respect for the drifting i cant do. i suck at drifting BAD

 

Actually, it was dynamic, lift off and mild clutch kicking also known as clutch feathering . . .

I'm not so good with the Miata but I LOVE the challenge, it's so vastly different from drifting a torquey and heavy BMW that it's almost a stark contrast!

I've been practicing here and there, the next event . . .just you wait and see ^_^!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I just enjoyed hearing you talk in the last few seconds.
And how you refer to yourself as "Stig" on a daily basis, thats sweet!

...oh and Tripp would participate in track events/race lif he didn't own a 240sx and live in Akron.

 

get that torsen outta there, get a cheap open and weld it or get the fc clutch type diff

 

the torsen is actually better than welding, it's very durable and the torque sensing feature means that when I up the power significantly, she'll lock harder . . . .

-Stig

 

whats harder than a solid weld tho?

 

and if my car didn't suck..****ing s chassis

 

Drifting with a torsen isn't too hot, it transfers power to the outer wheel during a turn which attempts to prevent wheel spin and keep you on track. The TBR is 3:1, so in many cases when your outer wheel gets more power for traction, it'll be spinning harder than the inside wheel. I would think that this has a tendency to feel inconsistent for many different speed turns when trying to slide, torsen's are much better for grip since you don't want wheel slip. I also don't understand how the torsen would lock harder than a welded, since it's always locked. lol
