Drifting.... - Page 2

the yare like 90/10 awd too correct? and most skylines are rwd anyways right? but then i guess even a fwd could still "drift" technically.....its was just my opinion.... like mustard is the ONLY thing to eat fries with lol...

No. Drifting is.. and always has been about initiating a slide induced purely by the power of the car. Front wheel drive is incapable of doing that without the use of an assistance... in this case, the e-brake. They are two entirely different things.
 
The GTS skylines are the ooollld ass skylines and they are RWD. They are uncommon. The R33s and R34s are AWD. The R34 also has the capability to be RWD at the touch of a button. I think the R34s are 10/90.... but i dont think that is the same with the R33s. 

kk good enough...but i was only stating my opinion. while we are takin about skylines what models did the rb25det come in? i thought it was only the r32 but not sure.

The RB25 came in the R33 and the R32.
 
The RB26 was in the R34

ah ok gotcha. thanks.

...and i'm consider myself a good driver....ever since i got my first car....never been in a accident with anyother cars....i have got myself out of MANY MANY accident's cause by other people...and never got hit

Yeah thats exactly what i thought....before a tree and a viscious curb told me otherwise....

My first accident was also in a pretty unpopulated place, and like you, i thought i had my "drifting" down just right.

(some of you may remember this)




Now i know 2 things:
1. Drifting where people have any likeliness to be, is just a straight up BAD IDEA and SHOULDNT BE DONE EVER!
2. Camaros are not built for drifting
 
 
I feel so fortunate that someone wasnt walking on that sidewalk, or they would just be straight up dead. Killing an innocent person is something you can never forget. It will haunt you for the rest of your life, and you will always walk around with a guilty concience, not to mention a license-less wallet.(thats if youre allowed bail from your MURDER trial.)
 
Please. please. please. There are places for this kind of thing. Obviously the track is the #1 place for this, but kids dont have the  150 track fee, and track days arent very often.
But there are at least less threatening to other people places. Find some back roads, and take a friend, incase something happens. Never hit up the touge without a partner, or someday you will pay.
 
The one thing people who love the adrenaline rush of a fast car tend to forget is, If you are trying to become a better, faster driver, you WILL crash into something SOMEDAY, and you would MUCH rather it be a dirt wall, over a person. You are learning, and you can not learn without taking a little extra risk, and a little extra risk means bad things can and most likely will happen.
 
I think dave mirra said it best with the words "Show me a rider who has never taken a fall, and i will show you a rider who has accomplished nothing"

yup i remember you showing us that before jeff

i read the first 1 1/2 pages.  50ul sweet deal dude.   all haters... if he were doing this on an open road i would most definatly call him retarted also but he was in a neighborhood that was not built, nothing to hit and nobody to injur,  if the guy wants to experiment in a closed road i don't see a problem with it.   i did it in my honda  couple times a few years back and had a blast.  that's my .02

thats all well and good, except you cant drift a FWD car

well you can't technically "drift" it but you can make it appear to be drifting.     i don't keep up w/ the ciruites or anything but i've heard of a guy in a honda that is in the drifting curcuit and is tearing up the competition....

Appearing to be drifting and drifting are two VERY different things, Ron... would you want to date a guy that APPEARED to be a girl?? Case closed.
Secondly, from someone who wrecks nearly everything they drive... dont try it.... lol

come on Josh, dating and drifting are competely different things.   if i saw a honda keeping up w/ prossional "real" drifters... he's MOST DEFINATLYhave my respect.   he's gotta do twice as much as a real drifter and i would have to think that it woudl be twice as hard.   that's just me.

It would seem to me that hed have to do 1/2 as much work. Whereever he points the front tires of that car... when he punches the gas THATS where its going... it seems to me that the purpose of drifting is actually LOSING control as the power to the rear wheels pushes the car no matter WHAT way the front end points (on purpose) and then proving your worth by regaining control all at high speed.

i duno, i've never drifted either car but i'm just saying... in my head rwd seems like all you do is turn the wheel and hit the gas.   in a fwd it seems like it would be hit the gas, turn the wheel, pull the ebrake, get back on the gas... mabey it's not as much work i duno.   i'm not gonna get in a pissing match w/ anybody here i'm just saying, anybody who takes the time to try new things and possible be an innovator of something, i have respect for.

Valid point, Ron.

thank you, thank you very much! lol  *applause applause*

thanx ron

Well, I guess that means we gotta give him a cookie... lol

chocolate chip please.  

NO!! you only get Oreo....but no double stuffed

 sad day.  can i at least have the oposite ones? dark filling, white cookie?? pweaasssseeee??

Well he IS right... those are the good ones...
