u giving classes or asking for classes?

i used to ass slide

go fast turn pull ebrake and when i felt i wanted to pull out of the turn or the car was slowing down too much i smoked the fronts for that added effect... did that till i heard a loud clank and lost my power steering once... kept it in second for the most part since no really wide open spaces...

its fwd theres not really much u can do as far as drifting but u can play w/ it all u want... till u blow the diff atleast


and yeah what he said... hit the other drift topic

Default Drift???

How bad can I hurt my car by drifting?, racing? She has 184,456 Miles on her(automatic) and have fun doing those things (Safely of course I don't want to endanger anyone or property, which empty smooth parking lots are for.)

think of it this way... drifting is one of the hardest things u can do to a car...

ur spinning tires at high rpm while going sideways, the the airflow through the radiator is reduced and the cars going to overheat... now thats just any drift car

as for ur saturn, well i lost my power steering momentarily, flatspotted my rear tires, wore out my worn out rear drums, pretty sure my diff pin was gonna go and if i knew what the loud bang sound was i would tell u...

what can u expect anything and the worst, main think its the transmission depending on how ur gonna pull out of the slide... but spin ur front tires and ur diff pins gonna go eventually. an automatic, do u shift it alot? N to D to D2 or w/e itll go too from over shifting... hell depending on how worn out ur car is suspension is gonna start braking... didnt tighten ur lugs ur wheels gonna rip off and take some parts w/ it...

not trying to scare u but theres a worst case scenario... i was pissed when my power steering went out when it came back i did a slide in celebration

just have fun w/ it, dont over do it, and be consious that stuffs gonna break... and remember in the back of ur head ur not drifting ur ass sliding
