Arrow Little drifting video... enjoy.

How does the exhaust sound? This is the 12a, now I have a 13b in there, and it drifts much better (lot more power).

after waiting ten minutes to see it, I was dissapointed. There was very little angle, and there was a little brake tap there, I wanna see atleast 100 degree drifts on dry pavement!

it's a 90 degree turn, over doing it looks stupid in my opinion... you can get crazy angles on more than 90 degree turns.

BTW, it was in the wet, so I had to tap my brakes, or it would spin out. I am also using RB springs, which are a bit too soft for my liking for drifting. I am going to install the RB swaybar set (front and rear... mmm adjustable rear swaybar) and see how stiffining it up helps.

Sorry to say it, but thats weak. I was able to drift on a 30-40 degree angle through a 90 degree turn and still safely bring it back on stock springs. You wouldn't have spun out without hitting the brakes. If you did, then your a poor driver. I used 205/60 13 BFG radial T/A's in the rear on my car and they were very predictable in the wet, but I also had an LSD.

exactly they all suckl, or else they would be posting vids. if i had a digital camera i would post some of my friend in his gsl, he can pull some pretty good ones. I prefer to stick to the shitty gravel myself.

extra power is no good if you dont use it. hit the throttle through the drift and let the rear end swing out. if it hesitates at all, just punch it. especially in the wet. with that said, im no expert, and that was a lot more entertaining than a lot of stuff i read here, im glad you posted it. just keep practicing.

power sucked on that 12a... street ported with a stock exhaust header, stock intake but 1000cfm throttle body injection not a good combo... it was a "get me by" engine until i got the 13b. I drift in 2nd gear now with the 13b.... sometimes 3rd. And yes, I'm not an expert at drifting, just know what i see on WRC and D1, as well as a friend who drifts and moving to california to go pro (hope he makes it... he s good).

So is it just a stock 13B, or does it have any mods?

I wish I had videos of some snow drifting I did on campus a few weeks ago. Granted, snow is a lot easier, but it was still fun to watch. The trick is opening the door up through the apex...
