I drifted with my old GSL-SE, hahaha

power is not required for drifting, you can have fun in a chevette.

rotary downshift

yeah guys just giver **** and yank that e brake .. and dump the clutch when u wann steer outa it lol

rx7male

myself i have a posi rear end with 4.88 gear ratio... awesome for drifting and on top of that i took out the rear sway bar which makes it a whole lot easier to kick it out... it doesnt feel as tight when drifing it now... anyways... i hope to see a few of you on the board... you dont have to live in the area to join up and post... the point of the site/forum is to help others out with there projects and to help other improve on there technics...

I agree with him in a capacity. I've done drifting myself. To me, Drifting is all style. Which is fine. But I burned a set of tires of my Miata in NO TIME. Its also hard on other drivetrain components. Its not something you do with your daily driver. I just doesnt seem worth it around here.

I see Japanese drifters and it blows me away. I see drifting around here or in the states and it just doesnt do it for me.



Oh and you dont need LSD to drift. According to Initial D. And me. I went drifting in my Stock GX with non-LSD. Didnt get any huge angles, but the ***-end slides nicely.

Oni-kyan

one word that I think is most important and its not power but..........................................








SUSPENTION (lol spelled wrong also important is education lol)
and set up

Feds

Theoretically, removing the rear sway bar would reduce rear roll stiffness and make the rear end more difficult to kick out.

So based on the rest of your posts, I propose the following theory:

You don't actually drift, you don't even own a car. You stay at home and "build" drift "cars" from your lego technics. Possibly using Kinex as well.

But just to make sure, can you tell us a story about your last drift run. Please include details such as # of school zones you ran through, and how many old ladies you scared off the sidewalk near the seniors home.

And yeah, I AM an *******.

Hey... why did you paint your mint GSL-SE (identical to mine, btw) flat black? Why did you do that retarded sleepy eye thing to your RX7? Why did you install that horrendous rear spoiler and front bumper that appears to be off of a Honda Civic? Answer those questions, and you'll figure out why I find drifting in North America so annoying. Thanks.

$_RXHEAVEN_$

u really are an ******* thats awesome! that guy is gettin flamed pretty hard. this forum is so cruel on the weak and foolish

rx7male

Feds... 1. dont be an ***, as i have dont nothing to you. 2. i have never drifted on any public street in day light and for that matter never before 10pm and after 5 am... i have never curbed my car... never hit anyone... i go do drifting on the street and not organised events then its in an abandoned area of the city late at night... meaning industrial parks, construction zones ect ect... 3. explain to me then why my cars rear end feels easier to kick out and drift, with the sway bar in it felt so tight and it like to snap back and for some reason make me spin out some times... now with it out i have yet to spin out, i get awesome angle, and the car kicks out with throttle, i dont have to clutch kick it very often anymore.

B6T

i paints it because i wanted to get the **** *** cream colour gone, and its a flat black primer. also the cream was fading and flaking in many parts. the car goes in for real paint within the next month. the bumper is because some idiot decided to back into my car with his tow hitch and rip my OEM one off... so instead of bringing it to the insurance company he gave me 500 bucks and i went to get an integra bumper for the time being, because i have a mariah body kit coming, which will go on with the paint. i use the wing for any reasons... i dont only drift, i do 1/4 mile, circuit, auto cross, and drift. i dont care whether you like it or not, i personally think it looks good, and there nothing you can do about it.
and i still dont see how drifting in north american is so annoying, could it be you dont know how? have you ever tried to drift and get that adreneling (?sp) feeling that comes with it when you are side ways at 90kms taking a corner?

MyRxBad

Rx7 male - trust Feds on the rear sway bar advise. The Rx-7 is tail happy as it is. The rear sway still attached with keep it tail happy. If you do some digging here you'll find out that people remove the rear sway in racing to attain more grip around corners and make it less tail happy.


Do us all a favour and rent a track and do your drifting.

Didn't FEDS, used to work gor GM in the Suspension department too? I would think he would have a good grasp on what makes what work.

What do I see wrong here?

RX7 Male has admitted that he drifts on city streets as long asin his judgement he feels it is safe!!! That makes me feel comfortable about his decision making processes. No he has dont nothing to me or Feds or anybody else, YET. Using his decision making process, I should be able to take my race car out to test after 10:00 and before 5 am in Industrial Parks. Sorry, can't. You are not able to control outside intrusions on city streets. No matter how you try, you just can't. You may kill or maim somebody doing this.

I travel to B.C. a ton and I am usually driving in industrial zones (in Surrey and Richmond) after 10:00 am and before 5:00 am and the last thing I want is some ya hoo barely under control sliding around a corner right in front of me. Want to bet that if he t-bones me, he and his buddies won't run away into the night.

Feds is giving you good advice, listen to him. A rear sway bar makes the car oversteer or loose. The reason why you feel that the car is more controllable without the rear bar is that the car reacts more slowly to driver inputs and you are able to keep up to the yaws with your steering. What you are recognizing is your lack of sensitivity to what the car is telling you. This may come with more practice.

Somehow I doubt that this "Gentleman" actually does AutoX, Circuit and Drag as I know a lot of actual racers in B.C. and nobody recognizes the car in his website.

RX7 Male comes across a just another internet warrior, trying to put a good image on his idiotic behavior. I would have more respect for you if you went out to Mission and did some Solo 1 first, learn some real car control and vehicle dynamics, then come back and be able to speak with some authority. If you are serious about learning what you are doing, P.M. me and I can put you in touch with a number of guys in B.C. who teach track driving skills, including Drifting, who could help you out a ton. No real disrespect but right now you come across as some kind of punk.

One other thing, Cory, some advice. When you are admitting that you are an idiot driver on the street you shouldn't put a picture of your car on your website with your license plate showing. All it takes is a cop to read this and you would be amazed how fast you and your group of street drifters get shut down.

rx7male

i'm no even going to comment on that racer as you dont know anything about me, my group, or where we go, or what i do.

Yeah sure PM me thost numbers and stuff... i'm always up for more learning... i have said it before i am not the best drifter and i know i have LOTS to learn about the sport. I'm young i have many years to learn, either by trial and error (no not crashing into people), or by teachers.

Racer feel free to come to a meet when you are down here one time. and you'll see how safe we try to make it. and btw there is no way you could go down a street and one of us comes out and hits you, like you said. One reason that is, i dont remember if i mentioned it or not, but we block of the streets. One of my friends works for a road contruction company, so just think of the stuff we use to block them off.

Racer i have gone to mission tones of times for the street legals, but yet to be do any solo event (whatever that is). i believe before march 24 sometime they have set up a circuit course for street drivers. i was going to enter that but there are a few things preventing that, one is funds, and the second is time (cant book time off work). but i do want to do it, i heard you actually sit with a professional driver that drives with you, tells you what to do, ect, ect...

I'm sorry from my post if you think i am irresponsible and what not. In actuality i am not. If you got to know me then you would know i am very responsible, and you would know that by my job. I work for VPD, and thats all i can say right now. Something like fast and the furious, just minus the cars and the race scene and put in drugs with teens and ****. Anyways. If you guys feel like flaming me more, go right ahead...

Thanks
Cory

PS...
Racer yes please PM me those numbers and names. Heck PM me your emaill addy, i would like to talk with you on MSN, if thats ok of course.

Cory has gone up a few notches in my estimation. He is asking for information and help. While we fundimentally disagree that you can ever make racing (drifting) safe on the street, he is open to listen. Drifting is a fun show and I can understand why people do it, just not on the street.

Good job. Cory I have P.M.ed you and will check with my buddies in Vancouver to see if we can find a way for you to do this safely and get some advice and tips.

I am all for drifting but doesnt it hurt any one else to try and understand what the hell rx7 male is saying. No offence dude but take the extra 2 minutes and revise your post before you hit the quick reply button. Thanks

rick_tj

I can't believe this thread. There's more hypocrisy in here than you can shake a stick at. Especially just now with schurchill talking about how its difficult to read 7 male's posts. Dude, maybe you should take a look at that last post you just made. You've got two different thoughts in your first sentence. Then you ask a question, with no question mark.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking you either churchill, but don't hit him up and do the same thing he is. That would be like me saying that I drift safely on closed roads where nobody's around. Its still not safe.

Anyway, I'm getting out of this thread. Remember guys, whatever you're doing, please do it safe.

ahhh i love this thread...

I don't know how I found this thread haha. Anywho drifting is fun. I try it when I have nothing to do in my friend's dad's business area. Other than that...its just something to do.

rick_tj
