Hi Richard
When do you need them for? I would have some of those in magazines but not on disc. I could vectorise a few this evening if you’re still stuck

(sucking air thru teeth), have to pull you up there Chris, very few of the drift cars are anywhere near 500hp !! more like 200 on most cases, doesnt need alot more,

it is fun if you’e the one driving, but i have a mate with a nissan 200sx, he does everything he can sideways 😮 , not so fun !!

off back into hiding now ! 😮

you’ll be wanting to fit an independent front braking system then !! none of my yanks would go in small circles, wouldnt drift either, well, only on roundabouts under power ! bit too scary to try drifting 2ton of car on regular bends !

Best Cars for drifting are the old AE86 or S13’s

You dont need massive bhp as abbove 200 BHP will sit you well.

Too much and wont go well.

Thanks Derek. Really enjoyed that. Those japanese commentators get excited don’t they. 😮

We had a TV commentator hear called Darryl Eastlake, got really really excited calling racing events, until he had a heart attack calling an event on the telly. He survived but had to retire.

Enter some open days every now and then, and I have an S13 with 280bhp 🙂 Kaaz Diff too…

S.O.G Needs to know, whats an S13? and a Kaas diff? and if you want to burn money, why not just throw it on a bonfire? quicker than buying tyres innit? 😉

Wasn’t there a "High Plains Drifter" – was that Clint Eastwood or somebody 😮

Actually I don’t see the point in it all. Way back when I was a boy we had crossply and Radial ply tyres. Crossplies were crap because they had no grip at all on corners. The whole point of drifting seems to be to go around corners sideways. If you want to do that why not just buy a set of crossply tyres… or failing that a cheap hovercraft instead 😕

..OK maybe I’m missing the point here (just winding you up guys 😉 )

Drifting is a long way from mainstream here, but we do have it telecast on the telly.

I can understand the attraction for the drivers, but can’t see that I’d last the whole meet as a spectator.

I usually channel surf after a while even on the telly 😕

Ford have built a Drift car and are putting a lot of development in to it. Only a few aussie cars in the category here tho, mostly Sylvias and skylines
