would i be welcome - Drifting forum

Dele-Himself · 24-06-2007, 18:42

If i went to a drift practice day in my auto skyline?

I know ill be welcomed as you lot are a decent bunch but would i get a decent experience out of it? its not totally automatic its triptronic so its got some control in that respect and with heavy right foot it can get the back end out, i just think im really limited because of it not having a clutch

course you will, there was learner, intermediate, and advanced days at the 1st one, with a few complete newcomers there, most progressed off the learner bit by end of the day.

We all suck at some stage... You wont be slated for maknig the effort.. Its one of those things.. To get better, you have to do it, to do it, you have to suck to start with..

Im only just getting the balls to start going on track, and show my suckyness in public, so your not alone

practice day = seat time

you can still master the basics and most importantly have FUN in an auto

Danny Neville · 25-06-2007, 13:21

That's what I started in....just go for it

cptsideways · 25-06-2007, 14:03

No probs, you'll be surpised how good they can be

Kev.FRD86 · 26-06-2007, 00:31

there used to be an auto {black supra} now manal competing in drift events and he was doing better then some guys with 3 pedles. but like everyone say go and do it is the only way you get better
i'm still suck at it but can only get better with more track time.

Thing about drifting is that even if you suck and spend all day spinning its still really fun!!! It just boils down to cocking about in cars doing skids like back in the day on your mountain bike down the park! Just go and have fun

tetsujin · 26-06-2007, 16:53

my first road car I had that was RWD and that I had fun in was a Auto.

Its great fun and you can still do the business, just if you advance, I am sure that you would want to upgrade but for learning and having some fun in your car I am sure you will do just fine at the next drift day!

Hope to see you there.

of course any new blood to the sport is good only makes us stronger as a group so come along and if anyone talks down to you about the auto

tell them you slept with there mum

Stavros · 26-06-2007, 20:54

or if their mums not bad, just slam it in her anyhow

Dele-Himself · 26-06-2007, 23:05

sounds like a plan tbh

mruk · 16-07-2007, 09:51

sorry to drag this back up, but its relevant to me as i can't get the back out hardly at all

my back tyres are too grippy and i don't have space anywhere to have some proper fun.. want to get round to one of these days eventually myself

how many pair of tyres should i bring?
i've got a full set of standard jap spec crap tyres, is that enough?

as many as you can fit in your car

try pumping them up to 50 psi
