Good driving buddy combe is a fun playground. I had a big drift accidentally round the bend after you were drifting. You got some really long slides going, the 200sx's looked like they were understeering more than over <_< bit weird for them.

good stuff :)

[Ian_M]

[essexlee]

[Ian_M]

just found a diferant video http://www.naomi2004.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/...at%20Quarry.wmv

I too don't understand why people say you can;t drift an Mr2??? the back seems to come out very readily on mine, the steering is so precise you can easily feel whats happening and hold it.

My non turbo car lacks power for the longer more sustained drifts, the throttle response is not quick enough, but I can hold it out for a roundabouts worth

[Jimlad]

is it not due to this whole snap oversteer thing ?

[Ian_M]

you just need to be quite and catch it like it did if you listen to the second video you can hear me adjusting the amouth and thorttle being used to control the back wheels

Great vid and good driving looks good fun getting the rear out, but shows how stable the Skyline is compared to other cars it just stuck to the track at a much faster pace!!

[Jimlad]

skyline is 4wd tho is it not ? It's obviously gonna be more stable and able to stick to the road.

[paulw]

yes 4 wheel drive, and also think has a computer sytem that gives and takes away power balance between front and back to keep it facing the right way!

just impressed me to see it in action.

[Karma Supra]

It looked like the skyline was understeering to me... typical namby panby girly 4wd characteristic.

Snap oversteer??? soudns like an excuse made by people taht can;t drive to me probably someone with a skyline had a go in an mr2 and got caught out
