now i just gotta go find a nice open lot to figure out how to get this 7AT to slide properly :stirthepot:

You can do it, you just dont have many initiation techniques as a manual. What I would recommend is shifting the weight on entry rpms and just slamming your foot on the gas while coutersteering quickly. Should get you sideways in no time :tup:

Now dont get arrested. :p

Lol there's more to drifting than just circles in a parking lot but yes, that's a fun start :)

Forsberg (370z) is a Titan race motor v8 from the baja series.
The 350z I am not sure of, but probably a v8 also.

you mean tires? Depends on the tires, some last longer than others. I tried some dumlops a couple events ago that lasted 10 laps each pair. Those were crap. I tried kenda tires this last time and they lasted the whole day for me at my level of driving. Some of the better guys usually go to an event with 10-12 new tires mounted but they literally drive the whole day.

Wow, that sounds insanely expensive compared to a road-course weekend. I hope they make cheap tires just to burn through drifting...

VDC_OFF 04-29-2013 02:09 PM

Kenda tires has a racer program that we use. As long as you are entering one of our events you can get tires at a discounted rate. I get 265/35/18's for $130 shipped to my door. Goes down to $120 if I order 10 or more.

Dzel 04-29-2013 02:12 PM

Wow I would love to try drifting but I would not be able to afford it.
