Rx8 fail while drifting
Am not sure how to name this thread.. Lol.. Last week after work I wanted to finish off the rear tires to install new ones and what better way than going drifting!! Or so I thought... So I disabled the DSC by pressing till both lights went off.
I started the drift around a half circle at a street and the car suddenly just stopped like if it bug out and it wouldn't accelerate, I took out first gear and engaged again after tapping the clutch a couple times and trying to accelerate. Then it starter working again and I went for a second try (the car never shut down it stayed on all this time).
Anyways mid drift it did the same thing again and I was accelerating and it wouldn't do anything.
The only thing I can compare to because is hard to explain is to a bike with carburetor. If you ever had a carburetor and is dirty or bad, while you're on the gas it bugs out, kind shuts off/on. Any thoughts? I'll try to upload the video. Thanks..

I wouldn't want a opinion from ignorant like you anyways. Its a closed road and no cars were harm in this video. Anyways everyone starts on the streets and everyone does it or have done it.

Thank you, I'll look into that. I had about 1/4 left in the tank I didn't think that would matter, but it might have. Like I said we left work late and was just looking to finish off the tires to buy new ones for autoX. Thanks for the advice.
