is it just me, or is anyone else sick of the crap about drifting??

everywhere i look: drift this, drift that, you like drifting?, i drifted..., blah blah blah

sorry, have to bitch about it somewhere...

ok yeah its fun throwing the car sideways around a corner every now and then, but seriously... making it a sport?? i mean come on who actually takes their car to a track and drifts? 1 out of every 50 people!

i mean i read HPI and like the articles and cars and stuff but this drift is really starting to shit me.

Oh and while i'm here, i hate it when people talk about drifting like they do it all the time! BS you do, and if so then you are a hoon and get off my roads!

I know i will get flamed for this but what happened to good old racing? i LIKE traction... it makes me go faster!

I HATE DRIFT!!!!

Waz.

PS... I HATE DRIFT!

PPS... I have a headache now

lmao... i think i know what ur talking about.

posers... people in homodores who think because they floor it out of a corner and fishy down the road that they are drifting...

real drifting is great to watch... i love it... soon i will be partaking in it once the car is completely setup... some people like it some dont...

then again u just might not like it all together... so be it

i hate F1 i think its the ***in gayest thing in the world... "omg he rocks! he done the same thing for 2 hours on the same circuit" same with V8 supercars... the only track racing i like watching is the GTP cause theyre more aggressive and its nice and short :thumbsup:

theres only one true motor sport which requires huge amounts of skil and talent and thats rallying... even F1 drivers a super touring drivers who have tried rallying admit they just dont know how these guys can do it at such high speeds.

your opinions are yours to keep and treasure and will always be ur opinions... i dont see why u should be flammed for it.

im sort of with you on this, especially when i see magazines like HPI and SPEED having whole issues dedicated to it, sure a bit of sideways is fun, but i would much rather the rush of traction. I mean even the americans are drifting now, so that says alot about the 'sport'. BTW i also hate the strawberry face conversions, black roofs, t-wings and stickers associated with drift....but i luv the spoilerless, deep dish rims, carbon fibre bonnet look.

so u like some rice... but dont like others... lol

each to their own.

HPI have their own drift mag now and i would hardly call the 10 page spread or whatever it was on drift in speed a "dedicated" issue.

and the americans have been doing it well before we were... same with the kiwis

I took the 4wd shaft out of my Tamiya Big Wig so that i could drift.... that makes me the father figure of drift in this country.... ;)

ROFL! :thumbsup:

You can't deny a bit of sideways action is fun on the track. If you haven't tried it then maybe you would I guess...:)

Hahahaah Big Wig and Test Drive II, I think we had the same childhood Roy...

Drifting has it's benefits, it rids the world of S13's which can only be a good thing.

Also it is environmentally sound, it takes the tyres that we waste and uses the

rest of the rubber.

But yes, the main bad thing about drift is the Punch Koala™!

I gave up on F1 when I heard an F1 fan call it the car racing version of "the grand championship of chess".

I guess drift is not for everyone. But there must be enough following for it to have it's own mag in Aus now.

Personally I like the fact that the D1 drifters spend so much money on parts and paint and then go crash into the wall. And the fact that on one of the HPI videos or mags there is a drift group called "garage junks". :thumbsup:

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
