yea drift in 5th gear

 

Sweet thanks man!!

 

stock s13 initiating in 4th or 5th gear...LOL























































you wanna die?

 

well, atleast he's asking before he tries it :/

 

I like to go sideways at high speeds. I use my sti to do it on dirt but its a little hard to keep it out there that fast with awd!!

 

dirt drifting and pavement drifting are two totally different things first off. Second what are high speeds, because your not drifting any stock 240 (in 5ht gear haha) at high speeds and expecting to actually drift..Who drifts in fifth anyways? What are you drifting at like 110 MPH in your stocker? ahaha...but yeah they drift, they are rear wheel drive duh. Not to mention they are the most popular drift car ever....:rotflmao

 

on the pavement that is..

 

and death.... It comes sooner or later....:crossfing

 

learn to drive the car first and foremost. then once you get comfortable start breaking it loose around corners being careful not to hit old ladies.

ps: if your gonna drift do it in a safe environment

 

For sure. I will deff do this at a track day! I don't feel like killing anyone!

 

killing people drifting BAD,....killing old people drifting,......25 points, its an extra 10 cause your drifting in 5th:ihit

 

im sure you need at least 250plus hp to drift 3rd. and drifting 5th?.?.?.?.?
hey, if you can do it you should be crowned the new drift king.

 

they jus said you can drift in 3rd, without the '250plus hp'

and yeahh a 'drift king' in a stock s13, right on...:thumbsup:12dunno

 

i did it last night, 140km\h, but i call it losing control in a civic while pulling the e-brake in a field was fun

 

its hard to drift with an open diff.

 

ok #1 if you can drive you can drift in any car thats stock.. i know someone that has a stock n/a 2.4l sohc with stock suspension and everything and he can drift the shit out of his car... he even did it with an open diff for the longest time... just get it going... try it out and see what happens.. if you have something try it in a safe environment and answer ur own question

 

you can do it! It takes some practice, but it helps build technique. A mod that may help and is realy cheap is welding your differential. Cheap and very efficient if done right. Drifting a stock 240sx is way possible.

 

learn how to drift and you'll be able to drift

 

Amen Brotha Jones, Hollyluya!
(Haha, but definitely listen to the guy, hes right, i promise, its almost like he used...common sense? :thumbsup

 

if you have never done any drifting before start off by doing some donuts in an empty parking lot once you get a hang of controlling that then i would start low speed drifts 2nd gear max, also in an empty lot. stock suspension and open diff are pretty unpredictable so stay far away from any poles or curbs.

 

i've drifted with my s14 stock, in 2nd gear, so im preatty sure you can drift the s13

 

Its all possiable. Just remember, alot the guys in the videos and on TV are useing raceing transmissions. There gears are alot closer. They are in 5th gear by the time there at the irwindale big bank.
And If you drift enough to get comfortable in second gear, and start wanting more. Then your hooked, and you will put the money into it
So just get started in a stock one and weld the diff. listen to s-car-go ^^

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! you've got to be kidding! I used slide around like a maniac in 3rd and 4th gear in my 70bhp Corolla.

I would think 70hp would be a smidge different than 110 or whatever terrible amt of hp you're putting to the rear wheels....

 

It was the carbed SOHC 4A-C, and 70bhp is a hopefull number. It was probably more like 60. If you think I'm lying, check out www.club4ac.com and ask some of the guys what kinda power they get in their cars. I think the highest powered 4A-C I've ever seen was like 130bhp and he had the thing really hopped up.

When it comes from going from my old SR5 to the 240sx, getting the thing to break loose was easy. Going from a solid axil 70bhp to 130+bhp with IRS there was no comparison. The 240's handle way better and have twice the power I was used to.

Even when running an open diff, with enough practice you can get pretty good. In fact I honestly think it's a good Idea to start learning with an open diff and upgrade as you get better.

 

My hachi owning friend tried it in my bone stock auto S13. He couldn't get it to go. It should be a piece of cake once I get the car back. It now has a full suspension and lsd. Once back in my hands, it will have a manual tranny.

 

not really of course u can drift in a stock S13 my brother owned his red copue be4 he SR it.....that car went side wayz around the corner like nothing! i drifted a red S13 convertible it was a lil hard cause of the diff!

 

If your drifting an open diff, it will actually benifit to not have ciol overs. You need to be able to shift the cars wieght.

 

Ok at this point im convinced you need to read , or experience more.

Coilovers dont stop weight shifting.

Weight shifting happens regardless, coil overs allow you to fine tune HOW you want that weight shift to affect the load on all 4 tires.

Coilovers are ALWAYS better.

Nothing against you. Just please don't spread Dis-information.

 

3rd gear is considered a "high speed" drift. 4th is REALLY PUSHING IT and 5th will be impossible to do a REAL drift in....
