Fun Day In My 8 Tomorrow
Well this kinda started last week when I was riding with my dad in my 8 we were talking about how good the car is at turns and how it sticks to the road great and how you really dont need the brake for turns, so he wanted to prove this fact to him self once more, when we went to turn, lets just say we were going a little to fast, we drifted around the turn. That was my first semi-drift and we both liked it, so he was talking about this HUGE parking lot he knows of that is used for parking Blimps for some sort of thing. But it is also used for auto cross and drift racing, and he tells me hardly anybody is ever there.
So hopefully tomorrow, we are just gonna have some fun drifing the 8 around the parking lot, and with it suppost to rain a little tomorrow afternoon it will be perfect conditions for drifting so I really cant wait to go.
Ill update this thread tomorrow and tell yall how it went.

turn DSC and TC off, hold 7 seconds to bug the system.
get to about 15 mpg, pop clutch and careful about the rev, learn to do semi donuts/drift 1st, then pick up speed and try to do the down shift engine breaking enduced drift, thorttle control is key, i hope y'all have tires to burn.
finally, extended drifting will overheat our car, unless ur oil cooler is upgraded.

Drifting Update
Yea, im mad, I didnt get to go today, I had to much to do.
But hopefully if all goes well I can go tomorrow.. I was really looking forward to it today though, oh well, mabye it will get me through tomorrow.
Oh yea, I cant turn DSC off, I dont have the GT package, I bought my 8 used (first car, lucky huh?) But hey, it looks and drives like new, and its an `06. But for the price I just couldnt pass it up, because I have always loved the RX8 from the first time ive saw one.
But even though it may not drift how I hope, It should still be some fun, but with that said, im always having fun when im in my 8
