It's like watching a Hippo in Ballet slippers......

Good try :}
But iv seen better

 

[TripleC]

yep lots of room for improvement but that will come as fast as the Tires do.
The megans i just got should help me out a little. i am also changing the gear oil so the Limited slips - slips cause it seemed to throw one wheel only a few times durring the day.

Your weight transferring techniques seem... snappy? What's the word... not effective?

 

[TripleC]

i agree!

 

[Moy]

what techniques are you trying to utilize during this "drift" event. Because what you were doing looked like an autocross with smoke...

Also, what suspension mods do you have done?

 

[TripleC]

I have teciko shocks with Intrax Springs and tems, But those wont be in after tonight. hard to say if i will get any better with the megan coilovers. And like i said in the title thread it was my first go at it so tire pressure, body roll,MY LSD nto slipping and 275 x 45 Nittos made it for an interesting first day. I had a set of 16 inch 205 x 50's that wernt video'd and it was much easier to slid the back around with those. Anyhow thanks for the feedback

when your changing your lsd fluid take a look at the mounting points of the Differential and make sure there isnt any cracks back there, lol mine got destroyed probably from drifting the crap outta mine

 

[johnd]

I'll be happy with that at my first drifting event.

 

[TripleC]

Ohh i have already faced those demons, I welded the subframe back together (crack in the middle) and also replaced the 2 main bolts that connect the front of the Diff closest to the Drive shaft. the other bolts looked good.

haters.....wasnt bad at all for your 1st time espically if you had 275 nittos....

 

[TripleC]

yeah it was harder to break loose with those on their, Now i have 255's on the 10 inch Supra Rims and 235's on the front rims and 215's on my 16 inch wheels. I should be a little better this weekend. I will have video and will post

 

[dubsupra209]

[TripleC]

I dont think there is anything at the next event to hit.

NICE! Alot better the second time, beautiful car btw what color is that exactly O_O?

 

[TripleC]

It is a Silver based Blue paint. i am not sure what the exact color is as it was painted some time befor i got the car.
It looks to have Dark blue with a great pearl to it . Just like my lexus gs300 used to have

How are the megan's treating you? i've heard not so great things about them.
