Suprash Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well I posted on here a while ago that I had bought a new drift car, well I managed to get out to a drift day last Wednesday so thought I would show the results of using a proper built drift car after learning in standard sheds.......I went through 5 sets of rear tyres by lunch time so had to pack up and come home, I done one set of rears in 8 minutes, to say this car eats rear tyres is an understatement lol. I did also have one little mishap, but that the nature of drifting, anyway on with the pics and this time I have video for you as well, enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate that is exactly why I bought a second drift car, I used to always do small car park stuff in the Supra but I was stuck there because I wouldnt take her out on the street and wouldnt take her to a track, not after a respray, bumpers, skirts, wheels etc lol I would cry.....

Pretty much, thats all you need to do, buy a RWD drive tamp dirfter or shed to start with, if its a bit under powered, say below 150bhp welding the diff can help but is pretty trampy when your parking, apart from that its fine on the roads, just dont get all heavy lead footed in the rain otherwise it could bite. Get your car and get along to one of Santa Pod's DWYB days, its on their calandar on their site and they post a thread each month on Driftworks. Then when you have the basics look at other threads on Driftworks like Lydd which is more of a track then Santa Pod's big car park marked out with cones, but Santa Pod is ace of learners because unless you twat some railings like I did then you wont do much damage.

Very well organised mate, as long as no one dicks about, they will allow everyone to police themselves. Santa Pod run two different format DWYB days, beginner and advanced. Both are very similar except advanced has an extra circuit laid out. But both will have a small play pen with two cones for just going round or figure of eights stuff, think thats my 2nd video, then you get the intermediate kindney cicuit and then a larger EDC or take on a EDC circuit but tonned down a bit. Play pens are one car at a time, kidney is allowed two if both are competant and happy with another car on there, larger EDC type track is marshalled but they normally allow 3 or 4 cars on there at any one time. No time restrictions but when you feel you have had ten minutes or so be polite and come off, but sometimes like on the kidney circuit no one is waiting so you can just stay out there and keep going. Most drift days never have more then 25 cars max turn up to keep wait times down, but most I have ever had to wait at Santa Pod is 5 minutes literally.
