As of this past weekend, officially I am.
Drifted this thing for the past 2 years with just a header, exhaust and OTS Tune
Took it out for the first time last Friday. All I can say is, I basically need to re-learn how to drive the car.
As I'm sure you may know if you have drifted this car in stock form, it requires speed, momentum and lots of clutch kicking to keep the cars tires spinning. Many times on tight technical areas, even while beating the car she just would not have the steam and would scrub a lot of angle and speed.
My first run, I ran it like I was used to, I went in hard, flicked in and mashed the throttle. Well, now theres power behind it and I quickly spun around. Realizing I now needed to use a lot more throttle input, my re-initiation wen't well, gave a quick kick of the clutch and feathered the throttle.
as I went around the final turn, onto the "straight" I manjied, and boy its so much easier, and also a bit more scary with power behind it.
It's a lot easier to carry angle, and get more of it when you have more control over the car with throttle.
Overall, I'm VERY happy I learned to drift the car in its stock form, mainly because I think the learning curve would be much higher, and the risk much more being able to carry the speed I am now versus stock.
