I looove having to pay more on my insurance because of morons like you! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

Ouch how can u lose control at just over 20mph? this is y u practice on parking lots and open ares with cones....

Exactly...



Sorry to hear about this anyway hope you learned from it

you need to dial in your camber.

i cant here this Enough

Let me guess.. you went around the corner and nailed the throttle?

Positive camber, its the new bandwagon.

He jsut cant drive. there is no way that you can spin that bad at 20mph

i revisite the area were it happened .....i found out that there was dirt on the road and i dint see it

20 mph was the speed i was going before i hit the gas







yesterday i bought the part to fix it , i needed a new arm , the hub that holed the tire, a new cv arm and this little bar that stabilizes the hub



all for 230



i need to fix the toe and camber and balance the tire

i mean i revisited the area were it happened .....i found out that there was dirt on the road and i dint see it

Dirt wouldn’t be that bad to keep control on since you were already out of your drift. I don't see how you could have lost control if you are "good" enough to think you can drift on public roads where you could potentially hurt someone else. Hopefully lesson learned

lol........... i was not really traing to drift .......it just happened ....i guess i press the gas too much

thats what you get for having a diff kind of wheels on the back, or are those just your "drag tires?" that things an auto too isnt it?

the tires on the back are my drag tire ....i had them on, because the night before i went to the track ....i dint wana use my rims because the 17' tire cost alot

thats what i thought, that thing does look pretty fast. so it is an automatic?

its manual

i never spun my FD on the street..... it was driver error

you just spun it everywhere else.

atleast it went https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

touche.

well for drift remember less traction in back, more in front

Not really.



Maybe for beginners who cant afford to replace tires and use cheap junkyard ones?

you need good tires in the front no matter what.

well good tires are needed but less traction in rear then front is a must.



good tires with lower tire pressure up front and more in the rear to induce drifts

better https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

is that supposed to be you 4rotordoriken

Woah didn't you like JUST turbo it? That didn't take long!



And 4RR I saw that pic at evil forum already. Stop.

that picture is from a DGtrials event first off and thats not him i know the kid driving.

You need good tires in the back for consistency, cheapos dont really offer much of that.

Sounds to me like you were connotating something. He didn't atleast inspire you?

i dunno, hitting full boost while at the end of a turn is not fun.

Don't worry you will crash plenty more. Can not remeber how many wheels and axles I bent drifting on street and free way on ramps, but luckly never crashed into cars or bad enough that I could not limp home.

this is your second try at this sentence, and the survey says:



"you still can't spell"

sorry to hear that man at least it didnt do more damage....but correct me if im wrong is that michigan and osceaola pkwy?

mannnn, that sucks

you need good traction in the back for control

There is still NO WAY you can do 2 360's going only 20mph.



Unless you just did donuts off the road...

Unless he kept his right foot planted the whole time.
