You will go a few events in a row, just straight spinning out all day everyday.

You need to remember that we have been doing this for years now, and it takes a considerate amount of time to have the car control of a Hollywood stuntman.
If you think you will be running tandem like us within a year, its just not gonna happen.
Its not easy to be able to actually drift and control it around clipping points.

the main goal of your first events should be getting your aggressiveness/timing right and getting used to a well-dialed-in suspension setup. its very difficult to learn on a car that is not comfortable or well setup. i reccommend getting a seat as a first mod, ergonomically correcting interior stuff, then full suspension and differential upgrade. the most important mod is having wheel alignment with settings to decrease rear tire wear and improve handling while drifting.

there are some good racing simulation video games that are very good at learning timing for drifting. i used to fwd drift in Gran Turismo 1 when i was 10 lol. i recommend Gran Turismo 3:A-Spec(with simulation tires), Forza 1, Forza 2, and even GRID. they are all going to help you in some way or another when your not on the track.

To all the photographers...any pics from Group B (stock looking white s14 Zenki on Battles)?

you'll be a super boss w a little more fine tuning and track time. hope to see you at a future 626Drift event. remember, when it feels like your just driving it sideways, your doing it right lol.

REMEMBER: Check all those clamps & couplers. And DEFINATELY keep spares with you in your track bag. It truly does suck to have time wasted on a $2 part (not to mention getting stranded)

Lookin good out there, and hope to see you at more events!

p.s Welcome to Zilvia.

.

ya you will see me at the next event in style... actually the scary part was that my mom came with me.... the first run she was about to have a heart attack but after the day went on a bit it wasn't that bad until i thought that my motor went. she actually wants me to go to more events so one day i will be in D1 drifting and making the big bucks(FREE DRIFTING). can't wait. maybe by then JXN will own the very first 2022 nissan s16

I see that you rub there. Take the biggest hammer you have and beat the shit out of it for more clearance. Im not even kidding, its what us drifters do. Once you slamm your car, youll see where else to hammer.

You would need to me at maximum angle and tried to shallow out for that to have been an issue.
Or been drifting at full lock and have it bind a little on ya.
Just bang it with a hammer.

How wide are your rims?

i know that i didnt ebrake my last run

the POS wouldn't turn because you dont know how to drift yet, lol.
Cars dont automatically drift on their own.
It is actually a pretty difficult process to get a car to unsettle at 45 mph and start it sliding out.

If it was so easy, there would be accidents all the time as cars just stepped out and started drifting. lol

More practice.
It took all of us a long time to be able to hold that first drift.
Then to be able to transition will take you another several events.

it did bind on my once...but mainly i know it happened to chris i believe and hammy...thats when they figured it was that metal section...

ill take a hammer to it this weekend...

and your right...ill take my time next time...i just figured to finish running with B since it was only 1 more time run left for all groups, i figured id just finish...lol

im just happy i finally got the car out there, i found very minor issues to what i thought would be crazy problems...

all i know is, march madness, sounds really good righ tabout now...lol

heres a little vid i took...not great but yeah

ericcastro · 02-22-2010, 09:50 AM

who ever has that triple tandem picture of Mulsanne should crop the high quality one so the framing is better.
And the only post you should do is bring the mids and black level down a tiny bit.
Dont over due the photoshop

nieko · 02-22-2010, 09:51 AM

Yes... although effects are cool sometimes.

Natural perfect framed shot is where its at.

I remember in my photo class the teacher would always make us do full frame prints. no cropping aloud.

i like photography ahaha

castro... you didnt take ANY pictures huh? onlyy video? cant wait for that ish

charlie321 · 02-22-2010, 09:54 AM

Team Mulsanne Was Fucking Killing It!
I love you guys!

fckillerbee · 02-22-2010, 10:02 AM

Mr Dalaz....... You are a beginner...but no beginner should have to learn in your car. Castro is the exception...he has been drifting a stock single cam forever....

I felt the pump not working as well when I drove it...I didn't get to drive it after that though...and yes...your tires were set up wrong...as much as we encourage people to just drive their car, at the same time....a basic "good" setup is necessary for success...

Perfect example...look at that mr2 I was trying to drive all day. With the right setup, that car will drift, but right now, the margin for error is a lot smaller. PM me the size of your rims you are running, and I'll set you up on a tire setup for no failure.

The guy driving the MR2...I had a blast driving it! thank you. Let me know when you get those nuckles, that's when the fun will begin! lol. None the less...great driving. You could drift a 240 no problem I'm sure.

These pictures are great...do we have any of group A?

i know...willing to except it with out hesitation...im also hitting up my CA buds to get some more questions answered that they would know more on...I.E. power band...things like that...and once i get a chance to look at the car ill let you know tires...i just wish i knew the offset...

Thank you...were you the one helping me setting the tire pressure? If you are thank you for helping me. What's your name?

FCKILLERBEE....what's your name? And thank you too for helping me figure out what I need to do. I think my main problem is the initiation that screws up my run...it was fun but frustrating at the same time. Had a blast tho....and will definitely come out again!

Question...i have another set of 225/35 for the rears, and people be telling me I need to get more grip out back. What can I do to compensate for now w/ 225/35's...? Lower tire pressure in rear (30-35psi?) and front (40 psi?)....

Dalaz_68...your welcome on the belts. You can use them for now, I'll hit you up later for them.

Thank you to all who posted the photograph and vid's...very nice!

Maiku240sxS14 · 02-22-2010, 11:09 AM

^ Hamburg, Hammy, Nazi...? umm yeah I don't know these people and wouldn't feel comfortable calling them that...lol. Robert sounds familiar tho...

Well I certainly can't use the belts in my car, so I was planning on selling them. But if you need it and want to buy them....just wear a Pink Tu-Tu & its yours! For now go ahead and use them.

doridet · 02-22-2010, 11:09 AM

I speak my mind....usually offends people unless they know me. I also had a super rad mustache for this event...but it is shaved off now...I enjoy having sex with my wife...we had to negotiate. lol

hamburg, hammy, hamburger, hamburgler, hambergesa, burger....i no longer get offended. be creative...just let me know what you are calling me so I know to respond. haha.
