how many of you do it sideways?

I was wondering...
having the car for it doesn't mean you do it.
so show yourselves... the ones that DO it sideways.
* all level drifters

as soon as i find a 240 to buy and do the swap im going to learn how to drift so i'm just waiting........

i do my girlfriend sideways.. but she wont let me take pictures so i can't exactly SHOW you.. you'll just have to take my word..


and lazyfcker, i'm lookin forward to pics..

and jdm guy, you can't just ask for drifting pictures.. i doubt there are more than 3 actual drifters on this forum.. drifting can be classified as an auto sport, whatever the hell that means.. an it takes practice, trial and error and such.. and none of us have the money for trial and error.. so i agree with you in that having a 240 doesn't mean you're a drifter.. buuuuuut i don't see too many guys pretending anyways so its not that big of a deal.. it may not even be a goal of 90% of the guys here.. which now seems a little discouraging since these cars are ideal for it.. personally, i don't see many posers out there cause they know it doesn't take much to take some pics of somebody drifting.. so nobody really pretends to do it...

not to flame anybody who does it but it seems so rare that its like the 1337 of the driving world.. those who actually do it are (to me) above most others that own these cars.. since they're known for the sport..

but i'm rabling.. just got back from the bar.. hopefully some of this makes sense

lol, i can understand that you had a good time.
I'm not asking for actual pictures, i'm just wondering if any of you ever tried, perhaps we could start a discussion on this interesting subject.

Plan on doing it once I get the engine/gearbox swap done, and I have extra money to burn for tyres and such.

Right now I'm content with being a photographer for D1NZ and being on the edge of the track as all manner of RWD monster flies by at 100mph sideways, 10ft away from me.

.........you lucky basterd......:crying:

i envy you...

I am going to as soon as I get out of this hell that is known as Iraq. I used to try to go sideways in my 240, but that nasty open diff was kicking my ass. But a Nismo LSD is soon to be installed after the wonderful homecoming

lol yea not fun in the sand......jk

anyways i dont claim to be a drifter at all, i dont think most people do. YES they may go in a empty parking lot and ATTEMPT to drift, but most of us are kids and dont have near the experience to actually go out a drift on the open roads. So i guess it depends on what your calling drifting. If you mean come home everyday and go out on the roads and just burn up a set of tires (do this repeatedly like its everyday nature) then i dont think anyone on this forum is a drifter....that i know of.

you have to roll the water around the cup, its the surface tension.

i try but ill be honest i suck at it but as D BO said it takes practice i really dont have the suspension set up for drifting though. i wish i could practice drifting more but my budget cant afford the tires or the possibility of a wreck but i plan to keep at it

i go sideways and even some times in circles. ynormally, i go late at night into parking lots and if i can get some cones i set up a small course thing. also, i use the light poles like i try and stay the same distance going around them. or some reall deserted back roads i know of (i live in very small populated area they are numerous). but since late at nights people hearing screeching noises and maybe seeing smoke i can't do it for long in parking lots. cops like to come and ask me what i am doing. i say drifting :).

Pigs don't like it sideways. Thats why I run whenever I see one. LOL.

yea i keep it sideways...thank god for little amounts of cops and big empty parking lots...kinda like SD for that...lol...i have a wmv of my friend doing some drifting stuff in his white 240...has the sr swap...hes pretty hard core into it though...just got my 240 so...im still gettin to know the car...will get some vid of me sometime...

I do it sideways by my house. The road is pretty clear and there are some nice corners. I love the S corner I have too. inertia drifting

d-bo you will see the pics soon as everything is done, aiming for the summer for everything to be complete.

sweet.. yeah my plans are to have lots done by september/october so i'll show you guys what i do as i go

glade my sister has a digital camera i can use lol or i'll be shit out of luck.

OOOh drifting a great subject in its self. Dragging a car is somewhat easy(unless yur running over 150mph) but drifting takes hella skill and effort. I've seen videos and people doign it and ill say that it looks damn hard and ill have to brass coat my balls before i try it anytime soon. And thats a fact. :banghead:

Anyone read about my question on the 240sx verse the RSX im not sure which one i would potentially want i love the 240 but the RSX is tight to. Since this isnt the thread for exactly that ill just leave it open to whoever wants to answer( Looking for why or why not to get either of the two) TY

ummm majortiy of people around here are going to hate the RSX...its FWD and nothing like a 240...and why should we tell you what type of car to get?? drive one and see if you like it....

EDIT: please dont say "hella", that is just..................................

I do it sidewayz at the go-kart track, I went to this inside track where the karts go like 85kmh (50mph i guess) and I was drifting the things, it was awesome, go like 3 warnings, almost go banned from the place, but i dont care, to much fun, i gotta go back there....after i lose the heat... :-P

lol that would be fun.....and that way you dont have to worry about fucking your shit up, its theirs muhahahahahahahahaha i think i might try that shit to see how it goes. i mean its all fun.

Yeah, best part is, you think they're ganna flip over, but they garanty it'S impossible!!

lol..my cart only goes like 35 but when you are maxed and you make a hard turn it can drift pretty good in gravel and fields...but i dont trust it

hit and run i didnt ask for that i asked for sumthign else and dont tell me what i can and cant say alrgiht thanks and moving on. EDIT: please dont be a dick thanks thats just................

dont be a nazi and try to steal this guys thread..EDIT:i forgot your only 15 and its ok for you to be a kid and say "hella"...i bet you watch TFATF all the time too :thefinger

no sorry i dont but thats kewl i do like option videos oh how old are damn man yea make it sumthign easy make it about my age. Damn man u are probably just jealous cuz u cant afford a damn car or if u can yur probably car poor so dont be an asshole it would make these forums alot better thnaks

but im done with this if u really wana argue take it sumwhere else cuz its just wasted forums and thread space-DONE

What's wrong with the fast and the furious?

i dont think anything is, but i like options vids also

things wrong w/ fast and the furious lets see for starters horrible acting, they say things about cars that dont make any sense, all the cars have vinyl, ja rule was in the movie, vin diesle was in it, im sure i could go on but im wasting my life away and i dont feel like wasting it away on this topic

haha ja rule has to do with 3 of those things you mentioned.. he's a brutal actor, says things that don't make sense and .. ok it was 2.. like "YoU KnOw... ThErE ArE a LoTTa ThInGs ThAt We KnOwS.. AnD OnE Of ThEsE ThInGs ThAt We KnOwS Is ThaT ItS Not... blah blah blah blah i suck at life" i laugh every time i hear his "gangster voice"

all i have to say is that we all know its not how you stand by ur car its how you drive your car i love that line but i only love it because i hate it so much that i have learned to laugh at it which makes me love it

That movie is gay, and importboom what wrong with not being able to afford something? Not all of us are rich-asses you know. By the way im 15 too, still drive by myself though, too hard to resist. Damn 4 more month until im legal doing this, hopefully won't get caught until then or they will throw in another 6 month to my waiting calandar.

pavlo is that ur ride?

Unlike most people here, his sig is lifted from a google image search for 240sx or Silvia. And TFATF and 2F2F were cool movies, I mean the car were nice, the girls were hot, the guys were badass, who cares if the acting was horrible, its not an oscar winner, it's a summer movie to entertain bored teenagers such as myself, people take those movies way to seriously. And besides the floor coming off when the manifold is in danger and double clutching in a drag race, what didn't make sence?

Dragging a car is somewhat easy(unless yur running over 150mph)

Try launching a 350whp car with clutch feathering as traction control. Oh and you can't spin the tires. Yep its easy. Watch out for wheelspin in 1st, 2nd, and the very bottom of 3rd. Whats wrong with FAF? Hmmmmm, didn't see too many things right with it. The supra sounded pretty good, but thats about it.

when i saw the first one i was like "yeah that was a pretty cool movie"...now it has brought so many ricers and more losers that want there cars to be like the ones in the movies. The people at my school were talking shit about cars like they know everything, i ask them what the difference between an inline 6 and a V6 is, they cant even figure it out (im dead serious, no joke).....people shouldnt pretend to be things there not, and be a bunch of posers! ARG the FRUSTRATION!!!!

an another thing dude blows his engine in that first race but then manages to pick dude up when they are running from the cops and then do all that crazy ass driving w/ a blown engine or whatever kind of "movie reason they gave for the car smoking"

The ricers at my school are embarassed to pop the hood. One of the Supras at my school is an automatic and the kid is always attempting to shift it like a manual. The thing is all fucked up in the back and his body kit is unpainted. It's pretty hilarious. No to mention I see riced up Hondas daily with just a fart can on it.

He "Fried the piston rings" which usually results in a large amount of oil consumption. He had freaking AEM EMS, what was the problem? OH yea, he just had the laptop in his car, not the actual box. My bad. Oh and the charger I guess popped a ring land and still kept up with the supra, Ya right.:rolleyes:

i think the funniest riced out cars arre celicas for some reason that or cavaliers there is this "car club" around here and 3 of the kids have calaliers 2 of them just did engine swap at the shop i goto and they both put N/A SOHC 2.4 in there car i dont know what the stock engine is but if a SOHC 2.4 is a upgrade then its sad and niether of the stock engines were messed up so it seems like a waste to me. i love kids who rep car clubs but are terribly slow

Gotta give them credit. IF they are into cavaliers that much, I wouldn't have a problem with them. Its the ones that put a wing and a shift knob on thier car and go out to "catch a light" with someone.

they both have huge aluminum wings. btw nissan hows the turbo treatin u? and i was thinkin in the spring we should plan a florida 240 meet

No the ride is from a silvia part website, currently i dont have a 240, used to have a f-up s13 sold it and now looking for wrecked s14.
Well logic your sig is from some website as well.

true, alot of peoples are. Mine is, but i dont go around saying its mine, and people already can tell its not.

thats how mine is i mean its obvious that its not mine

Not many people here have their own car in their sig, actually I should put my Topaz as my sig when I get back from the shop...I'll put another pic while I'm wainting.

Logic that topaz has a BMW front badge on it, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, thats funny...
I decided to put my car in the sig, mine is the one closer to the cammera.

yea my car is actually the HKS drag skyline

the topaz also has a racing stipe on the roof.. that thing must be at 650whp with all that paint..

and what a wonderful racing stripe it is

Yeah, I was thinking of doing the same, you know to get the extra power, but actually, my car is pretty potent in stock form, I mean it's got a sweet 2.3 liter powerplant, high redline at about 3500RPM (I'm assuming since it doesn't have a tach), I think peak power is around 90hp, not 90whp, 90bhp. And it puts all that power down through a 3 speed automatic that I have to put in neutral at a red light or it stalls. Talk about a high performance automobile, I have to fill it with premium gas.

lol hahahhahah its almost as fast as a geo i can say that for usre

Actually, I got smoked by a guy in a early 90's Geo Metro who didn't even know he was racing me........

first because i came to this thread because the name

i do drift often, but doing it on the road is dangerous and thus i try to avoid that, mostly late nights in parking lots and new housing communities where there are roads and nothing else[before beginning of construction so there are no nails], i try to bring the video camera and a friend along but we don't always tape ourselves

problems with TFATF and 2F2F, first off it just insulted me by being released in my birthday LoL, the tech talk was all meaningless bable, that semi truck was on liftts or something because those civics fit under it, the floor board falling out i son't understand [1. the manifold warning??? 2. why is the floor board only bolted on???], double clutching in a 1/4 mile, they got rid of the skyline for an EVO [no offense its a great car but a skyline is better], and the WORST part to me is the innumerable amount of ricers that it spawned

body kits, sticker, rims, jumbo wings, and custom paint DO NOT make the car any faster

I like drifting because it doesn't use that much money [well except for parts you may break] it also uses alot more skill than drag, which i will give credit to using skills as well, i know because i beat a 400whp eclispe in my 220whp 240sx, better driving

He had to keep the Evo because #1 his Skyline was impounded and #2 the Evo was wired and shit. If you mean the producers changed the car it's because they had huge influence from Mitsu (didn't you realize the main cars were a Spyder and an Evo?) And who cares if there are ricers out there, sure I hate them to, I'm a Ricist like alot of others here, but having alot of them just means more people to beat down when you have a good car.

i drift (try to) smashed the car 5 times and counting..... (the last time was a frame damage!)

i'm ok dough... i do it with freinds at a road far out in the canyon or in far away parking spots.



look at my sign below!

frame damage = no good

Frame damage ay. you must have been either spinning out good or going pretty fast in order for that one to happen (depending on were ya damaged it). If you keep smacking your car up with yourself in it, I would watch out for whiplash. No way you'll be able to get the money to go to the hospital to recover.
