New to drifting? - Page 13 - Drifting forum

stunt_monkey · 23-01-2009, 22:19

Hello guys. I was wondering if anybody could help find a place to practice drifting. I know they do a practice day at oulton park but if there are any other places you know of within 100 miles of sheffield please let me know.

Thanks...

turbobungle · 10-03-2009, 13:46

Hi everyone, new to drifting but have always loved getting motors sideways! Have decided you only live once so stop watching and start doing!

Would love to know where to go to practice in Kent/South East withou getting nicked!

Also, trying to decide whether to strip out my Supra and try and set it up for drifting or go and buy a cheap motor (thinking E30 325) to practice in first!

PS. Supra has approx. 420bhp and I have some BC Racing coilovers on the way. Standard slippery seats and interior and a boot full of ICE won't help though!

Any suggestions/help welcome!

Hi people I have a volvo 340 and would love to learn to drift but there nowhere down south to practise drifting(i.e. a safe area) and no one to show me how either.The only place is santapod but even that's a 2 hour drive.

If any one has any suggestions or just PM me.

Hi I'm new here and I bought one of your member's cars - S13 black :-) Got a drift day at Santa Pod next Wed and can't wait!

Lovegravy · 18-05-2009, 21:19

Hi All

Just about to purchase my 1st drift car..she is a Supra MK2 3.0 Turbo with lots of goodies...I will post some pics when I pick her up.

I live in the North East of England and am not having much luck in where to take her for some fun, as the Teesside Auto drome has now cancelled Drifting due to noise regs...

Does anyone here live up North? and does anyone have a Mk2 Supra that they can give me some tips where to buy parts and mods from?

I am looking for some lessons too if anyone can help...otherwise it will be a trip aaaallll the way to Santa Pod for me..

Please PM me..

Cheers
