Lol Initial D. I'm only telling him that because *I* became a fan of cars through Initial D...., so I guess it did point me in the right direction.

Except I find too many people think they're Takumi the first day they sit in a car. They tend to misunderstand cars..., and think that somehow ABS is an evil mechanism designed for idiots...., when they're hardly pros themselves (as an example). :rant:

So yeah. :)

Also, the rear only steps out after understeer if it's wet..., at least for me. I still remember being caught totally by surprise at a wet autocross, coming out of a long sweep, hearing the front tires beg for mercy..., and as I exit, the 8 fishtailed left and right. :uhh:

Thank god I had defensive driving skills taught by the Mid-Ohio Driving School down by instinct.

Speaking of which, HEY OP, GO DO SOME TEEN DEFENSIVE DRIVING WITH MID-OHIO!

Heh...this is actually wacky enough to make me want to do it just for shits and giggles...

na, one of the best way to make the rx8 drift IS to switch to less grippy tires. and a sway helps too.

And to leave your oil drain plug a little loose as you do donuts in the parking lots...

better to loosen the diff plug n00b :p:

or you can put cafeteria trays under the front wheels

... wait what?

if you cant figure out how to drift a rx8, then start with a older car,
like a
corolla,
240sx/s13

its not very hard to figure out how the rx8 works,

bring it to the track, (drift day, or anything like that)

its simple in the rx8,

hahah, buncha haters XD

thread resurrection, my biggest trouble is the torque issue, seems like i run out of juice mid drift if the roads are bone dry.

^ thats also i problem Ive hit i cant seam to keep the drift going long enough and sometimes its hard to start it drifting soon enough. I ussually go into the turn with the revs up pretty high and just slam on the gas (power over) and sometimes add a little flick or clutch kick, I like the clutch kick but I dont like how violent it can be and I havnt used it enough to be able to get the same affect time and again I guess i just need to practice with how high to rev before dumping it depending on my speed etc etc..

But the point is Im having a lot of fun with it

2way lsd will fix that..


go in a parking lot and practice doughnuts in second.

hahah i deffinity will, practicing is soooo fun

meant to drive straight??? youre kidding right? muscle cars are meant for drag strips. rx8s are built for handling. a car with such little torque is NOT meant to be raced on a strip sir......

install 500# front and rear springs, then go earn style points in the drifting forum with the other ballerinas ......
