Then i went out in my 88 GTU when i turned 17 and wow it was fun going around the track but my clutch completely died so i cut the day short. Btw it was drift day at california speedway.
The guy sounds like he's 16...

everyone knows drift is about weight transition. coilovers simply allow you to keep more evenly distributed weight. brakes are a good upgrade, but you pretty much do need LSD do carry a good drift. openD cant keep the traction you need back there

uh, ok. *rolls eyes*. I guess thats why there are so many 30+ year old guys(and girls) in japan tearing up D1 or whatever other drift competitions and circuits. you've obviously never tried it, or were just so against it before you tried it for some reason, that you can't admit it might possibly be fun... and last I checked, having fun was the reason we all enjoy cars, weather it be working on them, driving them, or competing in/with them.

you must be getting confused with 'go-kart racing'

oh, and biggslava, saying that kinda thing will get you banned around here.... the "canadian piece of ****" part, anyway.

canadians are cool anyway

Okay thanks to the flaming and waste of bandwidth this thread is done.

and biggslava consider this a formal warning. We do not tolerate posts such as what you posted here. If you are too immature to know better you should not post here in the future and find some other board to play on.
