Anyone in to drifting?

[Sigma4o4]

Hey guys,

 

me and a friend are getting into the whole drifting stuff. We bought a old Sierra to some practice in it lol Since this forum is kinda big I'm curious if anybody in here is also into drifting or is even practicing it. I'd like to share oppionions, experiences and advices. Thanks so far. So pics of the car on here on Instagram https://instagram.com/typedmovies/

I don't have a drivers licence, but I've always been interested in that sort of thing. (I've subscribed to your Youtube channel too)

I've always been a fan of drifting, since NFSU days. But never did it in real life, only when I'm drunk with my 1 series, but nothing too extreme, just the casual stupidity in a safe place.

Yupp. I can assume as you've picked up this Sierra as a practice car you've welded the diff, right? Best off just gutting the thing and installing a hydro, unless the one pictured is the DOHC model then you won't find a decent base to expect power gains and even then they'd be incremental at best.

Makes much more sense to learn the basics of car control than worry about whether or not it's easy to add note power later down the line.

Yes it's welded and hydro is going to be installed soon. It's a DOHC. It's a really basic beginner car. He's saving up for a Nissan Silvia, but he didn't wanted to destroy that one with practice and stuff so we got the Sierra first. I tried to convience him to get a nice BMW but he just could see himself driving a BMW lol. Is that your Stagea btw?

This is my advice.

 

Learn how to drift with the sierra. Once you have the hang of it, DON'T Sell the Sierra and use it to race in Rally X

 

 

 

 

It's so fun and cheap.

Closest I do to drifting is taking my Fiesta down some dirty roads and scandinavian flick my way through the corners. I really wanna buy a cheap RWD car to try on drifting.

In the winter here in Sweden, the youngster (my self aswell) go nut's in the snow...

 

The kids take their RWD car, usually Volvos

 

Most popular is the 240, 740 and the 940

 

 

I havn't gone crazy about dooing it, but I would love to buy some cheap car and practice, but it's so hard to find cheap RWD cars here in Sweden

 

I am thinking about getting a Opel Omega for the coming winter! that is not to old and they have atleast 136hp depending on what model one would get!

I've been drifting on and off since 2010, first it was a 180sx with a CA18DET and now an R32 GTS-T, It has Cusco coilovers, Tomei 2 way LSD, modded knuckles (gives extra lock and removes steering bind), Cusco front camber arms, Custom Castor rods, HKS GT-SS turbo, bigger injectors and remapped ECU (Nistune) to make 200kw at the wheels on 16psi.

I record most of my track days with my Contour camera and my brother getting some pics and footage from the side of the track, I just did a drift day last month and other then the car running a bit hot the car had no faults, it feels great now we fixed the steering issues it had on it's first outing.

First run of the day.

In car matched up with footage from the side of the track.

 

 

Flames!
