Suprash Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) I meant modify it so its not so low, i understand you are spinng all over so its hard to have bodywork. I understand it being a practice though and that you will have a bumper for events, so thats ok, ill let you off Right i get what you mean about the distance now i think... [Piss Take On]Thanks for letting me off man, I can sleep easy now, been up all night worrying [/Piss Take Off] After the crashes that happened there last year, I think I'd rather do it in a car park where the only thing to hit for like 50yds is a cone Crashes ? I thought there was only 1 crash ? In all fairness mate I would never let a noob try and drift that fast to start with, what Mel was trying to acheive was fast 2nd gear stuff. Considering she's probably never even swung a car around in a car park before it was pretty ambitous to try and catch that straight out of the bag, personally Im blaming the instructor Redknecks with buttons, I ask ya lol........what I would do first is getting you to appreciate the weight of a car once it starts to flick sideways using a small figure of 8 round 2 cones, that way, when you're out there trying to catch a fast 2nd gear slide, you dont shit yourself, come off the power and over correct all at the same time, its that panick that'll catch you out. You wouldnt crash with me, I wouldnt let you And everyone's gotta start somewhere mate. If its something you really wanted to do.....

I very much doubt I'd have a go at drifting in my current car as I wouldn't want to damage it. If I come into any money or have any spare and was really wanting to have a go, I think I'd buy myself an NA or something else that'd be good at drifting.
