Do you drift?

[Ill Dottore]

Only in Gran Turismo :P

Cheers

[blah]

no, Z3 tires are expensive, and the honda is FWD.

[SilviaEvo]

I drift on my Honda FWD not on my G35.

U can apply the tuskinavian (mispelled surely) flick or hand brake.

One of the vids (Tiff Burning Rubber) teaches you that.

^ Yah .. made big scores in underground ......
i did drift once ...i got a FWD car ....
it goes like this ....
it was my second day of driving and i was on a open road and there wasnt even a
single car there.. my bro was wid me .. he was really making me mad with his comments .... in the made a mistake and said "ya couldnt even do a 180 "
i was like oh yeah ... "i didnt know how to do a180 at that time " but i flowred it in 2nd
flicked the wheel and pulled the handbreak .... ma bro released the handbreak just as i was dipping the clutch ... and WALA the car went mad .. . it was the drift or my life ..
because of FWD i couldnt stear the car ya know understear ... so i hit the breaks ... and ma stupid bro pulled the handbreak .... the car did a 360 on the grass .... :|

nice isnt it ...

i'm on a learner's permit, so if i drive anyway i need my mum with me

i don't think she'd take too kindly to drifiting if i tried it one day

will probably need to wait till i can drive without her

[gat]

I got a 106 xsi that i have fun with when its wet and the roads are empty.
If you approach a round-about as soon as you enter the corner if you pull the hand break and apply counter steer almost at the same time, you can have quite a bit of fun.

I love using the handbreak when its wet.
I used to drive arround to find big empty carparks or dead end roads to pracitce...

Cant afford to do it in the dry tho, tyres are too expensive and you got to go almost double the speed to get the same effect....

[evoWalo]

I did it once before on gravel in the evo but never again. It may chip off the paint... :( But the experience was great. :)

[rob_e1]

Driving my gf's mx5 in the gravel car park of a local pub, lots of fun :) Not enough power to do anything on the road.

I get the inside wheel spinning on the esprit sometimes powering out of tight bends, but its rare to get a full slide and just too dangerous on a public road. Its only gone completely sideways on me a couple of times in the wet. You feel like a god when you catch it, but deep down you know you're playing with fire :wink:

Hi!

Well I have a FWD, and its not powerful, only a Golf III, but when its wet and there are some leaves on the road, at night, nobody on the street, well, then I'll try it all the time... As long as my girlfriend is not in the car... She always starts to scream;-)
I also drifted with my dads 5 series on Gravel... its a 530d touring and sooo easy to control... Would have never thought of that (DSC turned OFF, off course...)

Drifting rules... Except snowboarding the only good thing in winter ;-)

As Brembo said, it depends on the definition of drifting.

In the winter I drift as much as I can with FWD. You know, using the handbrake when cornering, in roundabouts and on empty parking lots. If you have the space to start with rather high speed you can do some long wide turns with the handbrake!

[twboy1999]

i drift in snow with my rwd van
and honda accord

lol

[schnell318]

I have a 325is which of course is RWD so it shouldn´t be too difficult.
Mostly I drift when it´s raining, on dry tarmac I can get the tail out but I can´t hold the slide. Well not that I´m the king of drifting when it´s wet, but I do have lots of fun.

[gottacatchup]

I "drift" my ATV in the sand or gravel or mud depending on how much its rained. tons of fun but tricky with a high center of gravity and short wheel base.

[5vz-fe]

I used to drive a 4Runner and that far fishtail during winters.............so I am kinda forced to drift. Mostly I will put all my drifting needs in games.

[dutchmasterflex]

sadly i do not have a a RWD car.. it's probably safer cause if i did i would be drifting every turn...

every now and then when i feel like driving like an asshole i'd get the rear end of my toyota convertible paseo to kick out around a turn... i would mostly enter the corner at full throttle, turn in and release the gas pedel... it shifts weight to the front tires and swings out the rear... very fun ;)

[BADMIHAI]

I have never really drifted in real life. I have toyed with my car in an empty parking lot in the winter but because it's FWD I could only to the hand brake turns. It's still a lot of fun. :P

[T-Bird]

I've done it before at night with no one around, I start turning hard with TC on then flick it off and the tail will wip out hard, Or if I want more control I just keep it off.
In the winter I just go crazy or when it rains like now with my bald ass tires.

[PaulGT2164]

i turned into to an access road today to a subdivision my friend lives on (really wide roads) in arizona in his recently competeled 300+rwhp 99miata and got pretty sideways for a while in second gear =) scared him crapless it was great =)

[ZfrkS62]

i used to kick the ass end of my Z out in the rain when i first started driving it. at first it was an accident and i ended up facing the entrance of my neighborhood which i had just attempted to exit (it was the first time driving a manual and a rwd)
but once i got the hang of the car i would kick it out and see if anyone at the bus stop on the corner would get nervous. (not the brightest thing to do but i was younger and stupider)

dammit, i miss that car...

[Gallardo_lover]

I learnt how to drift in my buddies old volkswagen beetle... It's not like we could reach spectacular speeds, it started to shake when you went past 100km/h, but if you went in to a corner quite hot and changed down a gear the tail would slide quite nicely.
Last year I was feeling quite brave and tooks my dads 740i, switched off the dsc and tried to have a go... One 360 spin later and I decided to stop trying!

:lol: only without the DSC do those things act like road yachts :lol:

[sergei_dekker85]

Only in Gran Turismo :P

Cheers

yeah...can't list how many cars i drifted in that game...LOL...the most often were my lancias...ok in real life?? once in the X-trail and mostly on my go-kart when the tyres are worn out...NOT when they are fresh...heck..tyres are expensive my friend

[Mopsdrops]

My dad not, FWD. but sometimes wheelspinning. Thats fun to

[Chingachgook]

I don't drift, since I don't have my own car I'm not going to drift .... shame

[Pokiou]

i can sometimes drift in my car :) but io cant seem to keep it drifitng for to long.. looks like i need adjust my camber and all that.. other then that i have sufficiant power :). ill try and get some videos up of me and afew mates doing a moutian pass at good speeds and some of my lame drift attempts :)

[homemade wrx]

I only drift if on beater tires at the auto-x course or if any form of snow or gravel.
other than those rare occurances all my drifting is on video games.

[GTO]

Only on two particular haripins I know, there're downhill in and uphill out. Plenty of leafs and its wet (its in a rainforest), drop into second, hook it, then power.
The corner will force the car to slide at even at moderate speeds, nothing long or spectacular but damn good fun!
Thank God for AWD, it very predictable and easy to straighten up.

360 in a 740i, thats scary dude!!!!
LMAO-road yachts :lol: :lol:

[africanmojo]

i can drift in my car it is easy in the wet on the road in the dry a bit harder but still have done it but in the wet much fun can be had is scary sometimes have had it step out further then i thought it would and only just got it back so not that fun then but going around a corner just get the arse to step around early and control it through the corner is fun but can get expensive for the back tyres.

[Pokiou]

SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOUR TIRES !!!! lol

[bmwmpower]

i dont have car for drift

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Im not able to drift too much my current car since its a front wheel drive and not very powerful (just 110bhp), unless i use the handbrake, which i used to use it some time ago........

[mrpushrod]

I only have a front wheel drive car and the handbrake works the front wheels so drifting is out of the question. Have had it sideways a few times with a scadinavian flick and a big lift although last time I got it very wrong. Nearly hit a barrier and cracked a rear trailing arm, car now off road :( Would like a RWD car as I do like driftng and have been in a Nissan 200SX sideways a number of times (passenger). I fear though my first RWD will end up banana shaped round a lamp post :shock:

[DUNKiNUTS]

I have rwd, but not LSD in the rear, So drifting is not a option right now, but wait until the winter and i will have one, and new tires. :D

[dropot2]

It's very difficult to drift with my AX... :?

[Skylinefreak]

Well, no LSD for me either, but at least I've got RWD and a 3.0 straight-6 to keep things going.

There is one huge roundabout in my town, love going sideways around that - just a little hard on tyres though. So its better to do it in the wet.
