Drifting

[Tuck&Poke]

how come you never hear about people drifting in supras or rx-7 or almost or 300gt's ?  only cars i see drifting are skylines 240's and levins.

who would really want to wreak a supra or a rx7. i wouldnt even want to try it with a skyline. they are so expensive to fix.

[Tuck&Poke]

and also why would it mess up the car?  i know your tires are gone to shit but what else?

i've seen a wild clip of a supra drifting. the guy was just goin sideways down the entire track and there was smoke everywhere. i don't remember what site i got it from though. i know some other people here have seen the clip i'm talking about. maybesomeone knows a link.

[drifting240sx]

it wont mess up the car, but just the fact that you could mess it up. if you are really a great driver then go for it. it would be pretty impressive to see them drift

drifting puts stress on almost every part of the car the chasis , tires, brakes, suspension, and the engine. so you want to keep cost down as low as possible its much more cost effective to use a hachi roku than a R34 to begin with.

also the supra clip is the JUN supra powersliding through a track eating up the tires.. pretty crazy.

First I have the clip of the yellow JUN sup if anyone wants it. Second a lot of people drift RX-7's, more in japan then the states. Plus i have seen tons of wrx, lancer, GT-Rs, porches(Yes I said porch) pics on line and in vids. The reason a lot of people mod the AE86 is its normally cheaper plue I hear it has a kick ass chassie(weight ration).

just my two dollars and three cents...

Yeah, they do drift other cars. One thing about the 3000gt, is that it's either FWD or AWD. FR cars are the most notorious for drifting, though as it has been said, they do drift lancers and skylines, sometimes porches. I think it also tends to be lighter cars that drift more often right? 3S cars are pretty heavy. VR4's and R/T TT's are around 3800 pounds I believe.

[Tuck&Poke]

yea they are kinda heavy but they do have (well atleast the vr-4 and the r/t tt) awd. sil80 i wanna see that clip of the jun supra.

[sxfro]

they yellow supra drifting is from a options video i cant remember what volume# it was somewhere in the 70's,he was actually running time trail's a track and was just showing off when he done that.

One thing I have noticed when getting a 3000gt vr4/88-91 prelude some have AWS. All wheel streering which is extremely difficult to drift. My roommate has a aws prelude and he can drift it but its something cannot hold threw the corner for long.. and with the whole difting back and forth on a straight road just dosnt happen with aws.... justs a heads up for all you drift fans..

[sil80]

OOO i have a killer RX-7 doing quick/fast drifts... its #### fast... hmm give me a moment and I will post them...
