The Drifting Thread

The windows are down but it was raining hard. And it's not subtle either it fogs up in like 2 seconds from it being perfectly clear. I run the defrost on max cold during the run too lol

Here is the link for the afternoon I managed to keep the car drifting almost the entire time. My windows fogged up in the last 30 seconds though

Windows were up in that video.

If it's raining, I would try to leave the windows cracked open just a bit. Help circulate air to keep from doing that.

[jwlee7ucla]

Most of the times the windows were all the way down

The fog is from humidity. Just turn the defroster on.

And your more comfortable on one side because of geometry. You will always feel more comfortable drifting with your drivers side leading.

I'm the opposite. I prefer left handed corners. I like looking out over the car rather than over my shoulder and door panel. Right handlers aren't an issue for me, but for some reason, I prefer a long left sweeper over a long right sweeper.

At slower speeds, it doesn't make a difference to me

Yup, sleep deprived. I wrote wrong side. It's your passenger side leading will be more comfortable 😉

Yep. Exact same for me. I have a theory though ....... It's from street driving. Pretty much every left hand turn I make it through an intersection crossing over to the other side of the street and making a long sweeping turn. Every right hand turn is at a stop sign or light where I'm either completely stopping then making a very sharp right turn at no speed or slowing down quit a bit and taking a sharp turn. So from a street drifting stand point, I've always found left hand turns to be easier as they are a progressive sweep and I usually am already doing 40mph or so and can use my moment to help me where as a left hand turn requires a much slower speed and a quick steering jerk while trying to build speed instead of maintain it.

Mmmmmmmaybe. I dunno.

When I started, I started out doing left handed donuts/circles. One side just feels a bit more natural than the other at speed. No biggy.

both side ain't care!!

And we see a lot of rain over here, and everytime it's start foggin up, we just defrost our window!

I have an event on Saturday. Excited to try out these 20mm spacers up front. They make the -4 camber look beautiful!

Did some skid racing in January. I'm feigning to get on a drift train. Soon!

Drift train are awesome with this car!! it's funy beeing in the middle and having the least horsepower!! Trying to get in the door of the guy in front of you, shallowing a little bit! God!! i can't wait for winter to be over...

Just don't do it with stupid people.. your car is still worth triple the amount of theirs loll

[TylerLieberman]

^ lol exactly. It's fun riding doors and being next to guys who are even making double the power.

Like he said though be careful. Some people are just careless and don't give a shit if they slam their $3000 car into your $25,000 car. A slight tap and leaving a couple small marks is completely different from practically t-boning you at 50+mph speeds
