Josh Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't find it easy even with a tt Same here. In the dry I have to really try, but then I feel bad that I'm hurting her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Same here. In the dry I have to really try, but then I feel bad that I'm hurting her made me chuckle With my auto It will rarely lose any traction until the 1st turbo kicks in and on a nice warm road it won't spin at all. Either my car is broken or my tyres are too grippy. Edited February 8, 2012 by Robzki (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It is all about weight distribition... so you would have to be going some speed to unbalance the weight of the car. Though when you saying drifting, are you talking about 'proper drifting'? If so not with an NA autobox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keener99 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah but thought you can leave it in first or second with an n/a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah but thought you can leave it in first or second with an n/a box? You can, but how were you planning on drifting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I would think you would be limited by power, engine braking and also by the indirect power transferred by the torque converter/autobox for 'proper drifting' you could slide however which is also fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keener99 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Dunno, full lock flat out lolYou can, but how were you planning on drifting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Buy a manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 na's have enough power to drift, and the autobox in manual mode will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Buy a manual I tried, read it cover to cover, still can't drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Is it possible to lose traction in an NA? I can answer that one !! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/260124_10150299609602214_584057213_9408931_1552916_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Dunno, full lock flat out lol That would be a donut, not drifting. Also an N/A auto is not good for it, you would need terrible tires. However you do sound like someone who will be posting up a 'Slipped on diesel' thread next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Pah, you can drift anything if you have the talent. Certainly didn't stop this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I can answer that one !! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/260124_10150299609602214_584057213_9408931_1552916_n.jpg As much as i take the pi55 out of you for that i really hate seeing that pic To the OP, i have some michelin pilot sports that will be perfect for drifitng an NA auto if you are interested (and yes fully road legal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 What size are the tyres? How much do you want ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Tyres are 255-50-16, not sure on price, i paid £100 off ebay, must warn you these have next to no grip dry, wet or even on the drag strip (i was getting a tiny bit of spin on gearchange at pod in 3rd and was sideways in second at shakey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
