didnt you already make a thread about drifting and crashing?

[Pantless Spency]

sounds alot like the first time i went sideways in an e30. but unintentionally, making a 90 degree turn onto my street, with a car a few hundred feet down the road headed to the intersection. rather hard to control when the car leans so hard that one side is practically scraping the road, and the other side has 4x4 like ground clearance

haha thats how i felt,
except i panic'd horribly and counter steer'd way to much and i dont know what i was doing with the pedals.... but i'm sure it was along the lines of smashing the accelerator out of fear then realizing i was smashing it and moving to the brake to smash on it.
not use to the 5speed quite yet so my left foot was all dead pedal haha and i came to a complete stop and the car died. restarted it, with my heart at like 120 bpm and drove straight around the corner to my house put it in the driveway and went straight inside... hahah.

If it's a quiet night in my neighborhood I have no problem with getting the back end out around corners. Just gotta know how to handle it.

i will not be doing this haha.
i need to learn my car better first, ive only had it a month ahaha.

You can get good tires for 14x6 wheels, do I hear Dunlop Direzza Z1 Sport Star Specs?

[Pantless Spency]

This.



Or, do what I do, and find some no-traffic, unsalted, freshly paved roads at 2am in the freezing rain...


with snow tires. You so much as look at the gas, and it laughs at you.


Sliding on crap tires in the rain, and getting a little sideways on the track are totally different. Unless you are on crap tires on a track in the rain. then you are dumb^2.

haha yeah.
i just have my bottle caps....
the tires are nearly new but aren't anywhere near track tire rated i would guess haha.

Has an e30 f34r reference been made yet?

Wtf are you talking about? Do you have any idea how to control a sliding vehicle?

Don't let off, hah right that's a great idea if you want to do a fucking 360. Yeah just pin it bro that's how to get it back. Drop throttle oversteer is possible if you snap off the gas hard enough but leaving your foot on the gas in a RWD in a slide is about the worst thing you can do.

good point...
in forza 3 when i give it more i spin more, when i keep it steady it goes a little better... but when i slam on them brakes i just slide till i stop.

learn to rally!

that would be the most fun :)
as long as i don't lose control going 80 and hit a ditch and roll like 10+ times.
that shit would fucking scare me to death! haha.
but yes.
rally sounds sooooo fucking fun.
and so scary too.

haha at least you're honest. I did the same as you when I first got my e30 and I ended up on a median with a broken oil pan. I was lucky nothing else happened to my car and I didn't get a ticket. Ever since then, I don't practice drifting unless I'm in an empty parking lot with nobody around. It's not worth the risk of totaling your car just because you have the urge to get sideways.

p.s. don't let off the gas if the back end comes loose. you will regain traction and the car will snap back in the direction of the countersteer and you will most likely wreck! ask me how i know? ;)

Save it for the track dude! The chances of you fucking up or getting in trouble are high and your neighbors will hate you.
