Its better than doin boring donuts lmao

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

For the haters, drag racing is GAY and for people that can't drive. Fast cars, not fast drivers. Drifting isn't really a "mustang thing" but if you're good then props to you! You guys must not have heard of Dan Pina and the Drift Patrol, have you? [Embarrassed]

Posted by norcalstangman (Member # 8387) on :

Drift patrol. Him and his 2 DP's builds is what inspired me. There's a bunch of fox's in the UK driftin too. But so far at infineon I'm the only fox out there at the moment

Posted by sydewayzLX50 (Member # 10217) on :

Posted by norcalstangman (Member # 8387) on :

Oh nice. Be dope to have multiple foxs out there. Ima have iron50 do some work on mine too for sure.

Posted by dean-93 (Member # 9401) on :

i saw you, u got the primed 93

Posted by norcalstangman (Member # 8387) on :

Yea that was me. I only have 3 days worth of sliding. The alignment is out of wack. And I still need to install my modified spindles for more steering angle along with the hydraulic hand brake. Dude in the camaro was doing really good too

You should call infineon and ask. Let's roast some tires.

Tech for drifting is simple. They almost don't care about what's up with the car as long as it's not leaking. An the car can't have any objects that aren't tied down. And need a helmet. That's it. Yesterday there was a blue for ranger p/u but no suv's lol.

Posted by Duncan Motors (Member # 7045) on :

ill be out there soon so dont give up and my other buddy should be there maybe next week!

drifting looks fun but as far as competition how is a winner determined?

By my underatanding the winner is determined by points. Judges give points for style of the drift, drift length, most angle, how close you can get to the wall, Speed of drift. Not based on how fast you finish the track.

Nice. I want to try this out so bad. Something different.

Drag racing is like 90% car 10% driver skill

Drifting is almost opposite with mostly driving skills and then car build.

I'm def a fan of both drag and drift sports, too bad movies kill drifting community and close minded people mix ethnicity with cars.....

Just my 2 cents

FUCK IT!

Drifting is entertaining to both watch and partcipate. Although mustangs are kind of shunned I SAY DO IT!

if we all conformed and did the same shit with the same cars life would be boring! Im glad people get custom 1-off hoods that are ugly and nasty paint jobs its what keeps us different.

take the time and sort out your mustang and drift it!

A lot of guys are going to tell you to go 240 but thats the Koolaid! everyone goes 240 due to the wheel base and the fact you can go online and build a car based on internet specs that everyone has already figured out. so Do it get some americana out there and make it happen!

afterall nobody was talking shit when Vaughn Gittin Jr won the world championship in a mustang!

So look to improve upon your steering angle,look into a hydro e-brake, look for a set of rims that you can actually find tires for to "stretch" them out (find some beater 17x8 and stretch some 215's or get some 17x9's and stretch some 225's on there) and get you some coil overs and you'll be off to a great start!

What do stretched tires do for drifting? I always thought it was more for looks than function [Confused]

think of it like this:
your rim is one surface
your tire tread is another
the rim floats over the tread of the tire basically held in place by the sidewall of the tire
the tighter the sidewall is, the less play there is between the two surfaces causing more predictable handling
hope that makes sense im not too good at explaining it

something like that. if you have too much give in the sidewall and go initiate the drift, you dont want to loose a lot of the energy in the side wall of the tire. you want it to be applied directly to the ground thus making the car more predictable like stan said.

this is why people wonder why competition eng. slide-a-links dont work as good as cal-tracs in drag racing!
