go speed racer, go go speed racer!    Everyone go away for a while?

I'm getting excited! w00t w00t

Anyways... is it me, or does the 22B 98 subaru in GT4 have massive understeer at all times?  I upgraded it, and it is super quick, but turns no more than a dragster... Anyone try a totally stock one out?

(all about the toyota/honda/subaru/Mitsu Evos... hope to have all of them, and then only what I need of other cars)

[Dness]

good job LE!! you guys are the bestest!

[Drift]

yeah i have it here as well its sooo good

He makes Drfting so easy with his techniques too although it's not as easy as i thought

[Brokenimage0]

i know its so difficult to try the advanced techniques. the first three arent too hard i can do those. but braking i still have trouble with sometimes, and i cant do the faint drift or lift off....feint drift is hard to find a corner in south florida where you cna practice it.and lift off isnt too important unless i went pro. its a very difficult sport but once you get the hang of its the greatest thing to ever come oout of cars

[lfepooh124]

hey Brokenimage0, what kind of car do you drive? I have a 95 honda civic dx hatchback w/ a  B18c1 (typical eh), but  I've never tried to drift that shit. I live in California and I'm a senior at UCSB and I have a mountain set right next to me (Santa Ynez Mountains).  I'm sorry but I've been to Florida, especially Tampa Bay.... St. Petersburg, Brandon, Temple Terrace, Ybor City, and what not.  Ya'll Floridians (sorry if that's not correct) got no slopes, hills, or mountains.  Do you drift on a race course or something?  I'm curious..., cause for sure those dreams of yours, gt3, and ridge racer don't count.  Once again, I'm sorry but I'm drunk.  Anyways, I would want to "drive" against you.  Since you know the different between "scene" and "seen" (check page 67), I'm pretty sure you have been educated by the excellent Florida Public Educational system.  Question: How old are you???  Anywho,  I'm going to Texas for Memorial Weekend and I'll be glad to drive against you, so come to Houston, it's half way between Florida and California.  I can't do the quote unquote  "first three drifts" that you can do, but I'm sure I can out manuever/drive you (I've got 2 older brothers who showed me how to drive).  Anyways, this isn't a direct flamming/dissing on you.  I just wanted to say that I've been to Florida and I'm pretty sure you guys don't have "shit" on California.  Not to say that you dissed on Cali in anyway, but if you can do the first "three" drifts u got skills...right?  Don't hate guys, I love California, the USA, and Live-Evil!!!!

LFE Pooh

ps: I'll be in Houston, Texas during Memorial Weekend...my AIM is xxmarkypoohxx, hit me up if you wanna drink or kick it.  Texas is cool...NOT!!!

[DashRattleWRX]

I live in Texas bish!  Lets go, I know lots of twisties around here.. course it's a little ways from Houston..

[Brokenimage0]

i know florida sucks i plan on moving out to cali once i finish my tech school in orlando a few years from now or at least to somewhere with mountains. i mean the highest point in florida is 87ft and you have to walk to the top(thats not a building i mean) im 18 and i drive an MR2 but mostly i practice in any corner i can find and since when im not at school or working theres not much else to do so i got corner hunting(very difficult in florida)

Incedentally, lift-off drift is extremely important for us europeans (and other countries) where most cars on sale are Front-Wheel drive. Any FWD with a decent amount of torque and a shortish wheelbase can get something halfway decent going, even if the car does slow down through the drift (although nowhere near as badly as a handbrake or e-brake drift).

Correct me if i'm wrong, but surely the advantage of straight american roads is that there are lots of nice 90 degree bends? ;-P

And, also, i am green with envy- 18 and driving an MR2, when i was 18 i was driving a fiat seicento..... (similar in size to a mini, but nowhere near as powerful)

edit: (and FWD)

[lfepooh124]

MR2? Nice ride.  Is it turboed? I smoked some ricer in an blue MR2 a few weeks ago with a huge ole team racing sticker on his windshield....in yellow!?!.  If you come out to California I would suggest you drive the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) aka Highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz, craziest corners I've seen around here, but nothing compared to the course at ?Irohazaka?. The view of the Pacific Ocean isn't that bad either, if you've got a girlfriend just tell her that you want to visit Hearst Castle, an excellent excuse to check out the course.

Last question for all you car nuts out there...I heard that the motor in the Mazada 3 is made by Ford, not sure, can anyone answer this? Didn't feel like googliing it. Thanks.

Mazda 3 is based on the new Ford Focus chassis and mechanicals.  Only th interior and body shell is different.

Hmm a MR2 at 18 - I was driving abngrs at that age, but then I suppose I was also a student.  Who knows, by the time I retire (many moons off) I may have gone through the sports car to super cr scene, and on to some thing sedate - eek perhaps not.

[Brokenimage0]

well its a naturally aspirated one im happy with it it was 4 grand for the car and i still need to put a new motor in...this ones getting up there in mileage and yes i find myself very lucky. You have no idea how good the feeling is to now have to drive something that started as a car and is now a go kart

[JC]

Be amazed at the amount of cars that I see around my area that have had upwards of $50,000.00 put into them

I live in Australia, so it's a whole different scenario here, but the place doesn't change the events as such... Went out on a big cruise a few nights ago, had some races, won some prizes (I drive other peoples cars in races, they're too sane for the stuff we do)... But the nights are overall quite fun.

My last one got me into a bit of trouble though, I didn't know that putting the outside two tires of your car onto the sidewalk to get past the car in front of you that's hogging the middle line was against the rules

I normally drive either a Skyline or a very very beefed up Levin a friend got imported, he's importing an authentic panda trueno later this year

[Brokenimage0]

sounds fun... now if only work would give me more hours for new tires...i hate that part,the whole tires cost a lot of money thing.  And gas, thats expensive too...but its a passion and ill pay out the cash first thing after the bills are paid.

Hey does anyone have any other best motoring videos aside from the drift bible.I have Drift bible,Vol1,3,8 and i cant get any of the others off a torrent site since the trackers seemed to have stoped working. Anyone know where I can get some of the others?
