My first time drifting

[KennyT]

American drifting, flatbilled Block wannabes. Nuff said.

Those who actually do it right, +1. I need to get the 325 running so I don't have to trailbrake in order to slide.

Oddly enough, Top Gear might help a bit... my g/f has watched Jezza slide around the test track and said, "that looks like fun... I might try that."

:shock:

(literally... that's the face I made...)

Unfortunately, I think a few scary moments in her old E36 M3 made her leary of RWD cars (now drives a MINI), but if I can talk her into trying it, I could be persuaded to keep my E30...

I've wanted to try drifting for years... but right now, with my car sitting in my garage with a broken #1 rocker arm from auto-x, I'm a bit gun-shy about reving the engine like that again. :(

doritos.. I mean Dorifto

Most likely wont be for a while but yes we should get some guys into sliding to go. Would be lots of fun.

Count me in on the M42 Drift Brigade!

m42 drifting whoohoo. You should come to the super-am comp this saturday

Im sure youve heard of the Keep Drifting Fun stuff goin on, all about the fun aspect of Drifting [obviously] rather than competition.

It is unfortunate how many people look down on drifting, but then again with the American drifting the way it is..cant really blame em

Honestly, no. I just did it to learn some car control and have fun. I don't have the experience, money, nor flat-billed hats to compete.

*thumbs up*

whats your setup?

GC 440front/625rear, Z3 2.7LTL rack, short bodied Koni's, GC camber plates, Toe/camber adjustable rear subframe, powerflex poly bushings for rear subframe, E30 M3 bushings in the lollipops.

Awesome!

Thanks!

I would love to, but I'm totally out of spare tires. :(

Went to Thunderhill on Saturday for their skidpad event, it was my first time ever sliding the car, and my first time on any sort of closed course. Just my little M42 with a Mark D chip, ran a 3.73 welded.:D












Was a lot of fun, can't wait to go again. :)

Yup, my house looks like a German Junkyard. 74 2002, 69 1602, 88 325iC, 86 325e, 380SL, and my 318iS. Not in any clubs.

I did, for sure. :)

[Evan12]

dang man. thats sick though!

[Highway1]

how far is to Willows from Willits?

[Ian Bowers]

Around 2:45-3 hours. I left by 5 to get there by 8, but it was raining the whole way.

[SCapelo]

I was about to ask how rough the ride was with that welded diff, then I remembered you said it was raining the whole way... Must've been nice :D

Pretty sure the M42 Drift Brigade will have room until we hit 16. :p

As an update:

Went to the Third round of ThunderDrift's Super-am competition and placed fourth, earning myself a seed for the finals. It was a rough track for my car, high speed entrance (top of second -- that part was good) that tightened to a low speed exit (that was bad.). I probably could have come third had I not glazed my clutch from kicking it so often.
