Can't drift in an auto? EH? all you need is corner/boost to get the rear spinning, drop it back, bounce it off the rev limiter and keep it there :) I can't wait to go out to the track to try some dorifto, just remember, all the people who think autos can't drive, will be even more surprised when anyone out there shows them :)

Yes you can drift in an auto, one of the initial drift members owns a jzx90 chaser and it is an auto he has the advantage of an 2-way cusco diff but still manages to show up a lot of people with long controled slides into and on the exit of corners and switch backs.

i hate driftin the v6 auto commodores (old girl has a vy). never thort of locking it in 2nd. that was 1 of my problems it would up shift as i slightly lifted the throttle. not good. stuff that iv got better things to drift anyway lol

ps wats your mums 9 sec commie- wat mods?

oh, that's just a joke, sarcasam :-)

Guys... I have to bust some major rules of Drift..

Firstly Generaly you can't drift an auto... Yes you can and sometimes even better than Manuals due to Long Gearing and no need to change out of gear and have that split second pause of wheels spin which can cause major drift problems...

Secondly most people don't drift heavy cars with long wheel bases because they have no Handling and heaps of Body Roll... True it's harder, but just takes more skill....

Thirdly, Don't drift a holden or a Ford... I agree a bit.. but hey...

No a Standard VS auto won't drift, It will single wheel spin.. lots.. into something hard...

Locked diff might help, But it's your mums car.. you'll surely break something when learning...

When I said I busted some rules.. I did... I drift a 1977 ZH fairlane 500 .. nearly 2 tonnes of car... Its big, heavy, Auto a Ford.. But has a 351 and an LSD and some how I seem to be able to hold a drift.. usually in the rain..

and the 3000 rpm Stall converter helps...

You may think I am insane ... But no one else has done it... and I challenge any one else to try hehe...

I'll post some pics of a drifting Pimp machine when I can

I like all these wankers who can't think you can drift this that and the other, only makes them more surprised when they see you drifting it :D

I think you'll find what a lot of people call drifting in a falcon or VS is just plain powersliding that any half arse can do. drifiting is an art and anyone who can master drifting can drift anything FWD open, anything you just gotta know how and find a track to do it on.

POWER SLIDING no

DRIFTING yes :thumbs up:

ok, thanks, and another thing, when i pull the handbreak when im driving along, say at 25kmph, this wierd beeping sound starts, ( like a computer beeping sound ) ... whats the deal with that... I assume its just a warning beep to tell you the handbreak is on and your traveling too fast to use it, but just askin you boys to make sure.

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
