The starter of this thread is funny

And this isn't you either? Hmmm... "Come out to Canada, Vancover area. Ill race you." BTW, it's very impressive that you got 928 flywheel horsepower out of a Supra you listed as "BPU" on another site...

http://www.automotivehelper.com/topic4516.htm

And this isn't you on the Mercedes Benz forum? Odd, the location says North Vancouver, Canada...

http://www.mbnz.org/forums/forums/th...73968&posts=17

And what about this? Yet another 89turbo944 from North Vancouver, B.C. Canada...

http://racingknowledge.org/topic.asp...04&whichpage=3

Even the 350Z forum isn't safe... someone from Vancouver Canada stole your user name again. Guess "89turbo944" must be a popular alias.

http://350zmotoring.com/forums/showt...&threadid=6466

As for not having an RX-7, then why are you claiming to own a Turbo II and an 1995 R2 the RX-7 Club forum? What an amazing coincidence that this other guy is using the same RE Super-G avatar as you are here, is also from Vancouver, and has a Sept. 11th birthday...

http://www.rx7club.com/member.php?s=...o&userid=41170

And how about nopistons.com? Same alias, same RE Super G avatar, same location, same Sept. 11th birthday...

http://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?showuser=9312

Did you really think that no one else belongs to more than one car forum and wouldn't notice that your list of cars changes on each one?

You must be right tofu_driftguyrb26, your R33 was undriftable, other 4wd

I once owned a WRC peugeot 206, and it was undriftable too.
well to be serious tofu, I hope you are lying, because it would be less humiliating to be a liar than not using your skyline at its limits.

Thing is 4wd CAN really drift!

The first car I drove(alone, w/o its owner) was a 4wd mini-van and it only took me a few minutes to start drifting with it. Trying to introduce the drift with power only seems impossible (at least on this car). If you are going really fast, the technique to lost rear traction seems similar to RWD. Its when your under 40 mph that its difficult. The best technique I have found in these 3 weeks of 4wd driving (btw, mini-vans tend to flip over when too sideway) was a combinaison of feint and lift-off

1. accelerate while turning the wrong way
2. lift the throttle completely as soon as you turn back to the right way
3. when the car is drifting enough, WOT!! and the 4 wheels should be drifting!!

Btw, if you watch Tiff Needell movies with attention, he seems to be using that technique.

If you are going at an high way speed, just lifting the throttle in a tight curve could be enough to make the car drift (lots of people also have accidents for lifting the accelerator, especialy on wet surfaces)

But a good advice would be to try on a wet surface first, because as I said before, a mini-van tend to flip over when its too sideway, so you would be able to practice at a lower speed.

Hope it will help!

Re: AWD drifters???

tofu, you make no sense.
honestly.
and for the record, the ls1 is not 413hp stock.

trust me.
go look it up. the gto doesn't make 413hp stock.

also.
the mention of what Millen drove was prior to the current/recent D1, last month.
you're a little slow on the pickup.
it took you how many months to think of a reply?

i DOUBT you owned a skyline.

prove it.

Re: AWD drifters???

hmm...
another interesting note, it was mentioned, by our buddy mr. tofu (for those of you who don't know, tofu is a fake food product, that can be seasoned to taste like REAL food, which seems adequate for this fake skyline owner), that awd boxer motors blow the torque convertor?
really?
where, mr. tofu, is the torque convertor located on a vehicle that would be raced or have high hp?
considering that torque convertors are ONLY in automatic transmissions, not in manuals, which, coincidentally, most high powered or race cars are...

The only race cars I know of that have tourque converters aren't high enough HP for there to be a problem. There are a couple of autos out there, but only in stock-based classes where the cars that are running them were not available with a manual transmission.

No wonder I can't drift the STi...apparently according to tofu, you need a tourqe converter, and golly gosh darn it I can't find it on my car to replace it, and when I go to the auto parts store they look at me funny. They must hide them next to the diesel spark plugs.
