it looks a bit tight in the first video alot better in the seconf one though :)
my silvia is completely standered non turbo , the skyline was way better set up
ive a ARC welder and a box of rods, could do a job on ur diff if u need?????
serious job on the hair :P
Fair play I personally gave a tyre bail at mondello a slap on the last morning out but sure I has to be done haha gets yourself down mondello and give it a go if it's wet it's slower then you think anybody could give it a go and does wonders for your confidence!!

im slowly building up confidence to try mondello .... will deffo do it when i get a few bits done to the car ... as it is id just embarrass myself.
Nice panini there at the end
see in the first video three cars going round a cone together that was epic about 2mins in
i wont lie iv had 3 rwd drives at this stage and im still geting the hang of things finally got the hand of manjie and giving my all 2 work out transition finally got it 2day was delighted its all a learning curve keep it up
iv had quite a few rwd, was happy enough just diffin away until i drove the 32.
now im trying roundabouts , going for second and manji .... trying to diff as wide as i can ...
i wreckon by the end of the summer il be able for mondello

Go hard or go home i suppose...
This all makes me very nervous, I have no experience drifting whatsoever, although owned my 200 about a year and I have told everyone I know that when my car is ready (hopefully end of summer) I am going straight to Mondello and just winging it. My opinion was I will learn quickly or wreck the car (rusty yoke anyway). I want to drift, so I will either do that or die trying to do that. Is that a slightly naive attitude?
By the way its no comment on your own videos/driving/practicing. Just my own personal feelings
well il be honest that why id kept with diffing ,, the fear of tipping the car or usualyy some one elses car.
this car i just decided on saturday fuck it il never improve if i dont just go balls out ! so i did and it was fucking epic fun
Looks like ya had a good day and maybe you prefer building up slowly but no diffing, roundabouts or anything are like drifting on track..
I saw one of the lads who couldnt do "tight rings laaad" around a cone and then went out on track and through the course of the day was well able to drift and link corners..
Its surprisingly easier than youd think last day was really my first drift day and after about 10mins I was pulling 3rd in the dry at the end of the day I could link the whole track smoking up the tyres.. You'll learn alot faster on mondello trust me:cool:
You'll surely chance a bit of drifting for the AE86 day out:afro:
just go out and go at your own pace ,nobody who drifts were automaticly drift kings ,its all about seat time and you wont get any practice in sitting at home or worried about getting out on a track, its epic fun on a track and thats what its all about ,
plus if someone is nervous about going out on track just ask someone with more experience to go out with you on the day,everyone from my experience is willing to help on drift days.
My tactic for Tynagh (first drift day) is to power out of the corners and hold the slide, just to get a feel for the speed while sliding. That's more power sliding than drifting but I figure the more comfortable I am putting down power while sliding, the easier it is to move on to proper drifting...
Novices go out with novices, nobody's going to give out to you from what i hear. We're all there for the same reasons...

Jay you were just unlucky infairness.put it down to one of then days.on words and upwards. ;-)
Great to see people talking about this cause it shows we all start some where even the pros.be it diffing or straight into the drifting.
yeh jay that was very unfortunate !! ya spent aggggeeessss building that car up . sounded awesome that day down in portloaise.
thanks guys ,, thought yas would slate me for the diffing ,,, but after all i am a girl and dont have much funding behind me . Pretty much all the steering iv learnt was just from doing it on back roads ect. Iv kinda bought my cars and practised on my own accord ... so its been a slow process but im finally starting to get confident in my steering i know if i keep trying i can do it now.
until i get my diff done a drift day is out of the quistion unless its wet out. im guessing tynagh and aghadoey are better to start in than be the laughing stock of mondello ??
edit - id just like to add this is my daily driver !! my sierra blew up AGAIN so this is my only mode of transport but sure ya only live once best of enjoying what ya have :D
Being top heavy and showin cleavage is probably why ya get away with it ha ha :-) i don't like diffin but if i am down some where with my car and diffin started i would be the first to join in.like the day you had that 32 in tullow
yeh that was a fun day ... i really enjoyed that day .... having power really makes things allot easier
