DO you HONESTLY drift......
 
Be painfully honest about this. When you go to the hills or mountains, where the paths are narrow and such, do you HONESTLY drift around every turn you get the chance to perform it?

I don't, I may be insane, but I aint that crazy. At least not right now......

Also when you say you DO drift, are you actually "drifting" or just burning rubber?? (i.e. you are actually COUNTER-steering around the corners)

SimpleS14 04-02-2004 10:14 PM

no...and its that I don't trust my skills...I just haven't tired yet...nor am I interested to.

ootranceformeroo 04-02-2004 10:48 PM

Does drifting on the track count???

I dont do it on moutains.....dont have the balls yet!

mistaanime 04-03-2004 12:40 AM

well...neighborhoods..lol...not moutains yet..no money for the track either...juss

I think most people are countersteering since smoking tires in 2nd+ gear would take some nice numbers. I drift, I do about every thing crazy, I am a crazy baboon behind the wheel. I actualy am thinking the 200/240/silvia is going byby for a nice ducati. I just dont give a crap about playing with death. Of coarse I dont endanger others or passenger, but I just dont think about my life when I go 120 in a 25. It is getting boring, I like the feeling you get when you know your in some shit and have to devise a plan quick. That is why I want a bike. 150mph in a car is a dangerous as going 50mph on a bike. So think about the exciment of going 100mph on back roads on a bike, one false move, or some shit in the road and its over. I would rather have people thinking I died in a wreck rather then a suicide. but keep that on the dL. But answering your question, yes I drift , I take my right turns turning left.

I'm an internet drifter, I slide my mouse between narrow websites, while making screeching tires noises!

I do the samething when ever I'm controling grocery kart.

I drift through a few turns that have a nice margin for error, through parking lots, and I go to the track at least once a month. Give it time and I'll be there.

HyperTek 05-16-2004 08:10 PM

Yah i do.. freaking open diff is not too safe for narrow places tho.. but I manage

Shin_Kudo 05-17-2004 01:08 AM

I'm not going to start drifting on the touge or anywhere else until I have a couple track days worth of practice.

Ricer240sx 05-18-2004 12:56 AM

well, right now i only power slide to get used to the ass being out, but i am searching for a parking lok and some unattended cones so i can learn to drift for real!!

sticky240 05-18-2004 01:30 AM

well honstly i dont. I mean were I work at night (graveyard, 3rd shift) there are alot of wide straight roads with nice turns to practice. plus their empty at like 2:00 in the morning so if I feel inclined to i'll go out and see if I could pull a drift off.

I've done about 2 or 3 drifts around a couple of the turns. The thing thats stopping me from just going out and really trying is cause i don't wna tto break something and have to walk back to work or call a tow truck or somthing (since im alone out here). If i had more friends to come with me I would be more confident to do something.

Oh well, i guess im a poser lol

steve shadows 05-26-2004 04:42 PM

240Driver39 05-28-2004 02:16 AM

no...not really interested to...except occassional shinanigans in the rain

aznpoopy 05-28-2004 11:38 AM

i don't try to drift intentionally... sometimes it kicks out (hard susp + nj roads = poop) and theres a little countersteering but nothing to get excited about.

no it doesnt, i have powerslided quite a few times on my stretched 711's with n/a mod ka. you dont need big number to smoke out, its all about droping into 2nd while at high rev and punch the gas/counter steer.

just try it.

your russian and were right lol :werd:

sidewaze 05-29-2004 09:20 AM

Hey guys whats up.

Yes I do drift. Unfortunately we don't really have any mountain passes here but I try and do it when ever I can. Im still using the stock suspension so the snap back is harsh. Im not the best but, Im not bad either.

Im finding the best style to use is Feint to get the weight to shif better. If we had passes here though, I'd probabley try it a lot. I would just make sure I had a better set up. You guys are lucky that you can go there when ever you want.

Have a good one and drift safely.

Easy :cool:

I do drift. I have gone to a few drift days also to grip events. I dont really try to drift in the mountains, I kinda like living.

same here .

misnomer 05-30-2004 01:28 PM

Never have the urge to. I'm happy enough going up and down my mountains quickly. No need to lose my grip.

<edit> . . .and because the available poll responses are so one-sided, I can't respond. Chaulk one up for "I simply don't care to drift" :-)

driftyour40 05-30-2004 04:27 PM

yes i drift have pulled 45 to 50 mph entry drifts its fun try it. if you fuck up you wern't ready :nono: i started in parking lots first gear drifts did that for a year then moved on to faster drifts i don't really consider what i do reall drifting but its about as close to it as im going to get with a stock KA.
