Supra's Drifting

[burton51m]

speaking of powersliding...whats fun to do is find a FWD car and go get some trays from taco bell or mcdonalds and put the trays under the back tires of the FWD car and take off in a parking lot or somewhere open.

i think its sweet cuz you can do 180s and 270s and sometimes 360s without a problem

when i had my supra i was goin to get some food around 1 or 2 AM i find myself cuttin through a big parking lot, it was empty no cops around. i stop and turn down the radio and listen to the engine to see what she wants. She wanted a figure 8 badly... i start from a 20mph roll shift in neutral and rev and shift in D and pulled a nice figure 8 it has a lil tail though but still nice, and that figure 8 is still in that parking lot today its a lil faded but u can see it. when i pulled up to the mcdonald's window to pay for my food the worker said she smelled burning rubber. i told her to look over at the parking lot and she saw it. she gave me a free double cheese burger

I can drift mine when i runs

ok lets break it down

what is drifting

3 ways
e-brake
clutch dip
power over

drift : creating an arc while spinning the rear tires while maintaining traction with the front tires

what fwd cars do is a 4-wheel slide, (or powerslide)
that is mostly avoided in drifting, cuz that how you lose points
same thing with straightening out big point deduction (instant loss)
spinning out (also instant loss)

turning on a pivot point is not drifting, the closes that thing comes is "donuts"
and the only way a fwd can create and arc is to powerslide (which isnt drifting)

what that camry did was empresive, but still is not drifting
its jus fishtailing with style and control
it might look like it was drifting, but it jus turned on two diffrent pivot points

unless you guys can master to drift the car backwards
so this way you can spin the rear , and have traction in the front
i think you can create somewhat of an arc like that
i'll leave it to the pros tho
now that i will be in tears of joy, cuz i will be so f-ing impressed
hands down to anybody that can do that


and b fair now

lets see him go around a course or a big C turn with the back end still out without a high speed start

we rwd drivers get a high speed start too, thats what makes it exciting

^ nuff said gj buddy all these people are putangyna

[Supra2NR]

all these people are putangyna

spelled wrong , its putang-ina
but good enuff

where'd you learnd this?

I think I've done it on accident... Or maybe that was more of a powerslide,
Or a peel-out while already moving. What I did was just hit the clutch while in a turn and coasted while rounding the corner, then I gave it a little too much gas as I let it out and surprise I wasn't moving where I was pointing. I don't know about drifting. I also thought this car was too heavy for that, atleast without turbo, so it is quite possible that I did something else. For the record, my car is an '82 5mge mostly stock from what I can tell. My suspension is CD-Skipping, Soda-Spilling, Teeth-Grinding stiff but it's great at cornering.

My question for you sidewinders is about interiors. I heard the key to getting sideways is losing weight. My interior is thrashed and I'm looking for stuff to restore it. Anybody want to make a couple bucks for stuff you don't want lemme know. Like I said, I have an '82. She's an L-type with burgundy interior. My plastic is chipped all to hell, the vinyl on the dash is sunbaked and I could use some new carpets. You wanna get rid of any of this stuff? Lemme know.

Thanx

sounds like you did, but congrats anyways, i learn how to drift without knowing it too

any rear-wheel drive car, with the right suspension setup can drift
by ur description

My suspension is CD-Skipping, Soda-Spilling, Teeth-Grinding stiff but it's great at cornering.

i think thats what probly enabled you to create the arc, cuz ur suspension is so stiff it dramatically reduces body roll, hencefort giving you more control while in angle

My question for you sidewinders is about interiors. I heard the key to getting sideways is losing weight

nah, i got a 88 n/a supra with stock suspension
and im still able to drift with the car
if skylines, mustangs, chargers, can do it, and those are heavy cars
our supras can too

even without turbo
they got n/a ae86 corollas, drifting against s15's , vipers and big hp cars
it all comes down to technique and how well do you know your car's capabilities, and your boundaries as a driver too

The problem with supras is steering angle. The wheels dont turn enough. Everyone says the key to drifting is steering angle

then i guess, we all jus got to improvise then
maybe pull on the ebrake a little more harder
maybe a little more gas here and there

we'll see what we can get lol
