(Anyone who doesn't understand sarcasm might want to leave this thread.... Now) Here's one for the new drifters to help them with their 'epic skid car projects yo' they want to learn to drift in once their massive project is finished. Some might remember the 700quid Merc I did last year... http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-car-projects-builds/133270-mercedes-c230-kompressor.html Well this time its a 600quid (with a years MOT) 1.6 MX5. Isn't she a beaut, soooo clean and straight, amazing (to a blind person) paint too. Thats REALLY important for a first drift car... Super low miles too, of course... Came with this horn push, which must add 92 extra drift skill powers and 18 degree extra lock, maybe some stance too. And of course, VITAL for a drift car, as everyone on Forza knows, you need at least 250bhp, it's got a highly tuned engine. Oh hang on, its a fucked old standard 1.6 Now lets get turning this stunner in to a 'drift car'... Epic Bride bucket seats, full Bride retrim, and custom rollcage? No, 100quid Sparco seat bolted to the standard subframe in 10min Hydro handbrake or drift button and grip tape? No. Black gaffa tape to hold the stock handbrake button in. Fancy diff? Got the stock VLSD welded up. Fancy suspension? £200 Raceland coilovers off eBay. More steering angle? No. Engine mods to give you 'enough power to drift'? No. Drift wheels? Set of 4 14in alloys with tyres off ebay for £62. Ducktail spoiler, front splitter, and bolt on arches? No. Epic dish 0 offset mega stance rims? No. Stickerbomb? No. So surely its an Epic Fail Yo Weak Stance Drift Style something something etc etc and would never drift? No, you see, there's one BIG upgrade people seem to forget when 'building' their first drift car to have FUN in... DRIVE THE FUCKING THING! That's it, project/build finished, lol.
I got nothing against big mentalist projects, I got two at the moment, but soooooooooooomany people think (or at least use it as an excuse to not drift) that their car isn't good enough to drift yet, so they need to spec it up more, it's fucking nuts. Fuck, this car is a right old bag of basic wank, 100bhp nearly stock piece of crap, and its still pulls 3rd no bother and is FAR more capable of drifting than I am drifting it!
So Stav, which one of these socks would give more power? Thanks for any advice! I really like the first one but also like my bikes as they're really fast, so how about this one?....... I think they come as a pair so I could maybe put one under the bonnet and then wear the other one so when I put my arm out the window it will look really cool? Thanks again.
You need a Password:Wilson sock on you brake reservoir..... Great skid shots too MX5's are proper never lift fun! Edit:Will you bastard you must have beaten me to it by 30 seconds lol!
Password:Wilson...........literally just spat coffee all over the phone! Great thread dude and really great shots as usual Ian.
Thats a fucking good call, I bought a big pack of cheap ass Patrick ankle socks from JJB for a coupla quid for when I went to Cyprus a few weeks ago, stick one of them over the fluid resovoir, write D1 in marker pen on it, and thats almost deffo backwards entries every time.
So much love for this thread... It has all the style and finesse i lack when i tell people they are pissing thier money away needlessly...
Oh yea here are some artistic driftYO photos of your car i took at Santa Pod last time when it was sat in the pits looking pretty No wait, my bad, it wasnt sat in the pits ever. So this is a video where it features over and over again. If it had fucking tyres on it out was out skidding. Sorry for spinning in front of you by the way. My bad. I think you might approve of my ratlook project from a few months back.... Seeing as how your down with the scene YO! My new RAT LOOK project. - TrampDrift
PMSL! The day in the video when you was there was the 1st ever drift day in that thing (you were doing a lot better than me, so deffo dont worry about 1 spin, lol), but yeah, both days so far I didnt even get out the car, didnt stop to watch, eat, talk, fuck all, just queued back up Here's a vid from the 2nd drift day, has the car in it quite a lot, in fact all of the in-car bits barring the one with Thomas's LHD S14 is my MXgay...
That was my first day in that car aswell and the that video was the first lap i had ever driven the circuit backwards and it was damp lol. That was easily my best video and it makes me look alot alot better than i am. The other one i have from that mostly includes me spinning and then getting laughed by the marshalls for nearly hitting the motorway barriers on the way out lol...
Oh and for the record, Whoever made that is a bastard. I wanted to use Golddust next time i got round to making a skiddingz video. Was it you? What editor did they/you use?
