Hi I know I'm going to get a real slaiting for asking this question, especially on a website like this, but where better to ask it? ready? ....

Whats the difference between Front OR Rear wheel drive? in terms of skid pan lessons?

I want to book my boyfriend a course in skid pan but you have to specify either front or rear wheel drive and if i ask him, he'll get suspicious!

Can anyone help me, I can't help it, i'm a woman lol!!

By the way, whats this website get against the English? I couldn't find London on the time zone list so had to pick a time zone from a completely different country!

Thanks, Marlsar

crippledstoner · 07-04-2007, 21:07

the difference between front and rear wheel drive is that the car get drivern by the front wheels and the engine sits sideways if a 2 wheels drive car and the on rear wheel drives is that the power goes straight through to the back wheels only and engine faces in that direction thats all i kno lol

wayne-hutchinson · 10-04-2007, 14:04

WindsurferJake90 · 03-05-2007, 11:52

Hey im just starting out and was thinking about getting a volvo 340 1.4, is it ok to start with? I cant afford to insure much else. Also does anyone know if there are exhausts available for these or do i have to get one built?

damo · 09-05-2007, 15:00

hey wats up, i need help on buying a car for drifting? maybe a 200sx,320,old supra? i dont know!!!

docwra · 09-05-2007, 15:31

Jesus - you are supposed to have a thread each arent you??

Jim the Junior - I drift an S12 and they are great starter cars - cheap with lots of power. Can be an arse once you get proper good (100 mph+) as diffs and coilovers are difficult but a good starter. You can pick them up for anything from about £250 to £800 these days

Marslar - you cant really drift an FWD car, so Id go for the RWD one. If you are just looking for on road control and stuff, then go for it, but if its pure drifting you are keen on look at one of the many school days on eurodrift and driftschool.

Crippledstoner - doesnt matter which way round the engine is.

Handbrakes are only really used for initiation, and usually only when you are fairly advanced. Concentrate on the throttle and the clutch more mate

WindyJake - 340's are supposedly alright, but Id try and stretch to a 1.7 - a 1.4 is going to struggle in the dry

Damo - all RWD cars would do it so everything you have mentioned is cool. Id advise a Nissan, but then just as many people would say a beemer.

And relax

No, that would work although you might find that as you got better youd want more powers. I think 94 is an E36 - Id recommend an E30 coz they are lighter and cheaper, but its up to you
