Drift Clip

[delmeekc]

Here's a clip of somebody I know learning to drift, took alot of goes to get this and the lsd had the wrong oil in it and was not working properly, all sorted by greens I think, so should get easier to do he says. Thanks to a 12 year old for the camera work.

You have to start somewhere, I told him

I was away in Vagas last week so did not see the thread.

Good try, it reminds me of a video I saw on your tube.

The Fast and the Furious: Toronto Drift

Just kidding, it was in a car park and reminded me of it.

Have a look at this guy he is a real master.

You will probably need more space to do this with the Ro

lol, the first one is funny. git.

I have to start somewhere.

done all the bike stuff for years, wheelies, darkies on the exit and backin it in and decided to buy the cv8 and try something else. Give me time and it will click I hope, might cost me a few rims though and a few embarrasing trips to greens to fix it.

looks 'fun'

You will probably end up braking things, best to find a smooth surface to practice on to reduce the damage to your tyres. A spare set of rear wheels and tyres would be a good idea. You also need to be careful of your power steering the fluid will probably boil. Standard suspension has too much compliance to make drifting easy. Apart from that have fun.

cheers, current rear tyres cost me £75 a side as chunked the potanza things. same rating and nice and hard (wing wang or somit wriiten on them), aint thrown any rubber yet. just got to try and find somewhere to do it. the vid was from italy, had a few pot holes though and yet I found them. Got me cone in me boot ready and all that. Going to do the silverstone drift school thing in my own car, £75 i think, but only on week days (difficult as just started a new job and days off are a no no) and they teach you it properly using the handbrake but trying to overcome the car/engine sympathy aint easy ya know.

DON'T use the handbrake when drifting your Monaro it will brake!!!!!!!

[Island boy hsv]

Good idea to go to drift school, the only thing I would say is don't use the handbrake for two reasons. Firstly you don't need to as you have enough power, secondly you will damage it. You tend to find the guy's with FWD cars use the handbrake to unsettle the car going into a drift. With the Ro being rear wheel drive it is alot easyer to get the back to brake away.
