E30's + Dirfting @ Englishtown

[Dude]

Met up with a friend with a is and went to this drift thang then took some pictures, enjoy.













Driving + Shooting = Sketchiest thing ever












In other news my car sprung a nice coolant leek last night which was awesome

Interesting, AWD drift or RWD conversion?

[UDelaware30]

looks like 2 different size tires/wheels so im guessing rwd conversion

My thoughts, he had the stock rear wheels for his drift tires and new wheels up front. Was definitely interesting to watch haha.

doesn't quattro let you program the power-transfer? i think rs4's have that control stock.

Pics of me from other car:

Your lucky you can atleast drive your car :( I have electrical gremlins sent from hell! Looks like a fun event though.

[bataangpinoy]

the audi is full time rwd.

was this summer moves on the 31st or the night moves on the 28th

nope, it uses a torsen center diff. "50:50 'default' split, automatically apportioning up to 75% of torque transfer to either front or rear axle" thats for the B5's at least. Newer audi's use even more efficient differentials.

Then only Audi's who's split-torque you can "program" is the TT since it uses a haldex differential.....

lol, yeah I'm sure they RWD converted that stock looking B5 to take it to drift events, and weren't just playing around with the ebrake.

I was going to make a sarcastic comment about "dirfting" too but that's too much for one post.

Definitely know im bringing this back up from the dead, but they did convert a stock looking b5 a4 into a RWD constant. It's the tyrolsport car. I recently came over from the B5 a4 scene so know a lot about that specific car

here's the build thread regarding the conversion and motor build

and the b5 does use a torsen diff but its not a 50/50 split, its a 1:2 ratio meaning its a constant 33/66 split between the front and rear

Nope! it does use a 2:1 ratio. but has a 50/50 split by default until it senses a slip, then (and depending on conditions) it can split torque up to 33/66 to either front or rear axle.
you can change a couple washers in the diff which will up the ratio to 4:1, allowing it to send up to 80% of the torque to the front or rear.

It wasnt untill the B7 (quattro gen V) that the default split was set to 40:60 f/r respectively....

[geeky]

Ah I did not know that. I thought it was a 1:2 constant split because the way they market the washers for the center diff, makes it sound like its a constant 1:4 split.

good to know though.

Dirfting? :D

for a sec there i thought this was a rhd car!!
