Yes, I Love whoring my Drift footage lol

Chris de la Cruz · 06-01-2009, 10:43 AM

From yesterdays CSCS event. I qualified 15th and beat out the number 2 spot in first round. Then top 8 beat out the miata in an intense tandem battle. Judges were loving my entry speed and early initiations. I got into top 4 and choked in my runs finishing 4th overall. None the less a good day.

Edit: Power steering crapped out on me the night before so I did the entire event without it.

****ing arms are so sore from it.

Here is some footage I have from my run with the skyline. Uneditted. Yes I spun on the first run but luckily it was after the judged section

Nice drifting keep it up!

is it true in order to drift proper on dry you need LSD ?

Chris de la Cruz · 06-01-2009, 10:53 AM

^^^ yeah for sure.... i had an LSD last year but this year i'm running a fully locked diff

sparkybp · 06-01-2009, 10:56 AM

I see, what exactly would it mean the diff is fully locked, that one wheel will never spin without the other ? and out of curiosity how many tires did you go through yesturday?

Chris de la Cruz · 06-01-2009, 10:59 AM

I honestly just went through a pair of tires yesterday that had about 90% tread left.

sparkybp · 06-01-2009, 11:00 AM

that's not bad, did you bring extras though or were you calling it quits when they were done.

Chris de la Cruz · 06-01-2009, 11:44 AM

I always bring an extra set of wheels

AMG_POWER · 06-01-2009, 05:55 PM

are those regular tires or some special ones?

Chris de la Cruz · 06-01-2009, 06:43 PM

The front tires are Toyo RA1's and the rears are Yokohama A520

I was researching this awhile back. I couldn't find evidence to indicate that drifting was possible in dry pavement without an LSD or a locked center (very bad for drivetrain and tyres). I am not going to believe some random n00b on a forum say "yeah it's possible, my buddy's gf's uncle's newphew did it". I couldn't come up with anything concrete so I'd say somewhat certainly that you need an LSD (any type) to pull off a drift/2 wheel burnout.

Chris de la Cruz · 06-01-2009, 07:38 PM

it is possible to slide a car in an open diff but to hold it is another story. when you apply gas only the inside tire would spin hence maintaining a drift would be difficult.

the locked diff allows power to be distributed evenly b/n both wheels on accelleration and decelleration. The proper way (expensive) way would be to run a 2-way differential or even 1.5 way stock LSD is 1 way.

Unless you are professionally drifting or tracking for that matter, there's absolutely no need for a 2 way LSD. A 2 way LSD as obtained in a clutch type transfers power during acceleration and deceleration. If you're planning on drifting on weekends as a hobby then you won't need that extra push because you'll be doing what most amateurs do, mashing the throttle to keep the revs high enough to sustain a drift. A 1 way mechanical LSD will suffice for that and you'll pay a lot less in the long run for it.

Hey guyzzzzes look what I found

JUS_CRZN · 06-02-2009, 08:25 AM
