Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions

as soon as I figure out why it won't let me post pictures and then figure it out so that I can I'll add the S2000, Supra MKIV, FD RX-7, MR-2, and FB RX-7. Then when I get some info and pictures of Starions and Camaros I'll work on those too...

so if a mod wants this done they could help me by telling me why it says

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagegif() in /home/aftp/gallery/image-inc.php on line 116"

whenever I try to upload a picture.

Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions

About the listings of the BMW's. The 3-series ix or xi or whatever. The power split between the front and rear wheels is like 33%front and 77% in the rear end. They drive like a truck. Might be great for rallying, but for drifting it might prove to be quite a handful.

Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions

I've never heard of an S13 steering rack swap on an E30?
Do you have any more info on that?
What's so special about using that instead of the OEM parts?

Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions



I've seen SC300's drift, and they do it pretty well. Shares the same potential as the supra since they use the same engine, has good weight balance, and since they aren't popular like the supra they go for a lot lot cheaper. Not to mention since it has the Lexus badge, the cultured ladies will be on you more. Cons is it's pretty heavy and more expensive than 240s and what not, but still a good buy. I find em for around 8gs here with around 90k miles.

Please correct me if im wrong but people all the time tell me that the Toyota MR2 is NOT a good drifting car because of its mid-engine design. Is that true in any way?

Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions

Drifting is hard, drifting with an MR2 is harder, why overcomplicate things? Its a grip racing car, but it CAN and HAS been done...

Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions

Hell no thats not why. Grip racing? The design causes for the back-end to act without warning. The weight and power being in the back the back kicks out harder and is hard to control causing major oversteer, spinning, out and crashing=Possible injuries? Thats why its crap for drifitng to frickin dangerous.

my friends keeps spinning out on his 85 MR2, but if you CAN do it, the car glides under ultimate control, its so compact it fits all tight corners. i wouldnt suggest it as a learning car

Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions

People who say drifting MR chassis cars such as the MR2, Porsche Boxster, Honda NSX, Lotus Elise ect. is too difficult or whatever are obviously not the badass driver they thought they were. Putting the engine over the drive wheels makes it easier to initiate a drift with but the smallest flick of the steering wheel.
It requires more skill and better timing.
Fuck it up though and you will be backwards in the ditch in double time, they are not kind to the uninformed. If you know how to control the MR setup there is no reason why the can't drift with the best of 'em.
