trying to drift on california roads, or roads in general

True words. Its just hard to be that 100% of the time for me . I dont think you would do a whole lot better. Other members of r3v have driven said car and know...

Redeem yourself. Replace bushings, take pictures of it; attend autocross or some driving school, take pictures of it. Post pictures, or GTFO.

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

word!
i didn't expect it to get so gnarly, i just thought i'd get 10 degrees off of straight haha.

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? ;)

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.

learn to rally!

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.

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.

Yes, I agree with all of those.



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 not straight on the track are different. Unless you are on crap tires on a track in the rain. then you are dumb^2.

Has an e30 f34r reference been made yet?

[Pantless Spency]

This.

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.

[u3b3rg33k]

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

[red325]

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.
