Request to have the test in the rally car... I would
I guess i would be allowed wouldn i? Shoulder checks could fun be with a harness, cage and bucket seats... Ill have to see if i could get insured
Ive got a whole 50 odd bhp thank you very much.
Hell yeah, don't let anyone talk trash on the massive 59bhp. Calling it "50 odd" is just being modest.

59bhp 10 years ago though... Oh id love to have a whole 59
@h701micra your secret build has nothing on me.

It has thag effect
That would have to be stupidly light... It would have be X6 lighter?
'Sent from my bed using paper planes'
That would be fairly decent, 10hp per 100cc
Had a look at insurance quotes for a BMW 316 saloon and it cost 80 quid a month fully comp..
This getting into drifting thing seems a bit more possible than it did before

1.6?! Need at least an M3

haha! I wish, Im looking at RWD cars under 500 quid that I wont be scared to bash about to start off
M3 is off the cards for now unforunately
TYPO, its a 318 so 1.8 not a 1.6

Ahh 1.8 would be better
1.6 would have been a challenge
You don't need massive power to drift. You can drift standard power 5's.Ahh 1.8 would be better

'Sent from my bed using paper planes'
They're alot lighter though
You can drift anything RWD, just some would be alot easier too keep a consistent slide than others
(says the guy here that's never drifted a car in his life) at least I think so! haha :')
I'm only going by what my grandad told me, who's done a few drift days.They're alot lighter though

Yeah, the more power just means it easier to spin the wheels, so it'd be easier to keep up a consistent slide, yes.
I need to learn to drift.
After I learn to drive.
And pay for insurance.
Damn.
'Sent from my bed using paper planes'
Badass grandad
That 'says the guy that's never drifted before' part in my last post was aimed at myself not you , incase it was misunderstood
Tel me about it dude!

But doing a long drift is easier with more power... Had a laugh last weekend in a mates turbo, rwd scooby on a muddy dirt course! Sideways everywhere

316? Good luck trying to drift. That thing wont even pull the skin off a rice pudding.
a 325 or 328 is needed to get proper skids.
A 318is with 140HP was just about enough in the soaking wet but you'd need to rag the tits off the thing in 2nd and if you changed to third it stopped spinning up..

Doesn't sound like me at all
@Davegrout1 gave me my 1000th like
I was going to like this post but didnt want to mess up your 1,000th like!
@skymera It was a pleasure
Bit of a typo there, it was a 318 not a 316 I checked mate
Had a rummage on Driftworks and the 318 are supposedly good to get things kicked off and for the price of both the car and insurance, they're a good shout
Was looking at 1.8 mx5 but insurance is too much to be able to run both a skid car and the micra

I say go for it! Cheap skids ftw!
Ill definitely be doing it!
Just a matter of finding one relatively close to me and cheap, the exact one I had quoted was £300 for the car and got all excited when I saw insurance and realised it was in Bristol
6 hour trip there and back and that would be just to view it essentially hahaI can drift the micra, its very tail happy
Give us a slight bit of moisture on the road and they are drift missiles
@Davegrout1 gave me my 1000th like
without the 999 man you wouldnt have gotten the millianaa
r-reg the giver and reciever naa no deever
TYPO, its a 318 so 1.8 not a 1.6
Compact aye bud?
Was gonna start looking at them too, but I cant decide between micra and drift car,, or sensible car and stupidly fast micra :L

In my experience of sliding... the gear determines the length and the rpm determines the angle... I am in no way a drifter though. Sliding comes as part of the day job
More wheelspin is less traction. Less traction means harder to hold a slide.
Believe it or not there's alot of grip in a drift car

This was the one I looked at...
