15 grand is a huge budget,you could buy a full spec bdc/edc car for that,you can buy either the s15 or the skyline either would be fine m8,plus you could get it up to competion spec and have loads of change

Hi all maybe another stupid question i have a volvo 340 1.7 with a locked diff, its not as easy to get the arse out as i had hoped do i need more power to drift easyer?or try using the handbrake to shock the back wheels 1st?if i stop then full throttle then the car goes quite well with just the locked diff.Any ideas anyone?

Just done a DWYB and after a few attempts I could initiate in first using a clutch kick going to the right. After a while i could nail this every time and hold. The problem is going to the left it just didn't want to go. On a low speed left it just seems to go round in a circle even while kicking the clutch.
It managed to do a left direction drift on the larger kidney course while in second from a transition, but for just a basic donut i couldn't get it to break. Just wondering if this could be the diff/setup or me. (pretty sure im doing exactly the same either direction

)

Can anyone tell me the laws of drifting in car parks? I have got a s14 and wanna have a go but need somewhere to practice. Are there other good place to go and learn? Cheers.
