really at 2500 rpm.... i don't even have any boost to use till 3500 plus... and even then i doubt it gunna drift unitl about 5500rpm, or are you talking about sitting at a intersection then pulling out and giving the clutch a wee kick ? or in the wet?

I didn't have boost to use full stop!!

Yep just pull out of an intersection, kick the clutch part way out of it and hang on!!

Mechanical sympathy is the enemy of drifting/dicking around. Youve gotta be willing to break the car to have any fun. So far ive;

* Snapped both engine mounts and pitch bar

* Snapped a clicky CV

* Bent a couple of steering arms

* Bent a front wishbone

* Buckled a rear wheel

* Damaged a roundabout

All from being a tool and not really knowing what i was doing. I still dont, but now im smart enough to not try unless theres a LOT of room and a safe run-off

Oh my~!

Keltic - were they from separate occasions or the same incident?!

agree with: "not try unless theres a LOT of room and a safe run-off"

[dubbedup]

id say multiple incidents

Check out this vid, RS4 vs M3 drifting. German overdub but you can hear what the 5th gear boys are saying.

accidental drift action

[johndoe1003]

they drift easier turning right ive found, and my one will step out no probs on primary, usually im not even trying to it just does it. i just clutch in or keep the wheel straight ish to keep it straight.

[driftrex]

must of missed this thread, never had any problems getting my wrx wagon sideways, even when it was 4wd and standard (12psi), no need to kick clutch thats brutal on a standard clutch and driveline lol.

like was said before its has alot to do with weight shift.

now that its RWD and getting more modified, well, im sure you can imagine what thats like. ;D

LOL easier turning right

more of a psychological thing - feel safer with more car to protect you from tree's/poles etc

Haha yeah. Ask your passenger which way they prefer!!

[Guest keltik]

Mine really does drift easier to the right. All the left tires are buggered from Manfeild.

[Koom]

Have you considered putting a 1UZ or even a 2JZ in it???

Should do the mad uncontrollable skidz au.

Still probably pyscological as less tread means more contact area, therefore more grip

(Unless its wet, like your .......)

...into a powerpole.

And nope its only wet when clunts around

[johndoe1003]

hmm idk aye, it just seems to be looser that way. no shit. lol

i was under the impression at least with my model (94 rs legacy) that manual power split was 50/50 and auto was 65/35 Rwd/Fwd. And yes my driving experience did seem to confirm this as my car stepped out way more when it was auto and was easier to control sideways too compared to how it is now that its converted to manual.

[Guest boostin]

Any auto pre 98 was 95F/5R split on normal driving, to a max of 50/50. They physically can't run any more to the rear wheels. Technically they're a FWD box with a clutch pack added to the rear of the trans for the 4wd.

I assume you mean 95F/5R?

[johndoe1003]

thats what i was thinking haha. autos had the FWD fuse holder. or was that just the non turbos?

[hhhh1]

yea the turbos have it too

Ooops. Edited. Cheers.

[Guest boostin]

GT's got "DIFF LOCK" instead of "FWD". Locked it at 50/50.

"FWD" just made it 95% front, 5% rear.
