Boosted Falcon

Bush the top section of the firewall on falcons does nothing except hold the plenum cover up and stop water falling into the engine bay, so running a brace back there wouldn't do anything...I'd already thought of it and had a look to see if it would help...

Another technique commonly used by drifters is to wrap your hand around your penis in a fist like shape. Stroke from top to bottom repeatidly. Adjust speed and stroke length accordingly to feel.

Seems like you'd make a pretty good drifter then.

Absolutly. It's the only technique I've mastered so far though.

Yeah, that's one way to go about it.

Or you could just go and dive into a bucket of aids.

or a bucket of rusty trumbomes or dutch rudders.. no wait double dutch rudders

Doesn't count

When you've entered a corner at 100kmh and pop the clutch then you can comment

Full lock on speed limiter in an el is scary shit.

Mad ok i guess i can only talk about trying to set a car up for drifting then haha well what do skidpans mean then.................... practise for the track??

dunno bout setting the car up for drifting, but minispool + shiftkit + wet roads = good fun
i can't wait til i have enough power to do a bit of this shit in the dry, just a shame there isn't anywhere local to melb that puts on a drift day or anything similar

Yeah. I try to avoid ejaculating in the pits but I can never just hold on. Pitty the Drift Australia grid girls aint that pretty.

i did it @ winton with a guesstimated 140rwkw hittin 3rd cog up the straight. as long as u can steer a car n do the RIGHT mods u could do it in just about anything. having said that i came home and said its time for a turbo mainly coz i cant keep up with my mates in thier 300kw vls. once the snail is setup i'll be concentraing on the suspension

having a manual would make it 11ty times easier with less power though...
i would need to rely on weight shifting alone to get some slides going lol

auto=sliding fail

Nah bro in the rain bro..I get my vn so sidewayz...the open wheeler starts pullin twinnies bro

Auto just means you have to hit it right cause you can't just kick the clutch for a bit more go

not saying its impossible, i've done it myself (with H2O assistance lol)... hosie think about how an auto works compared to a manual.

Does it count if i've done that on dirt more than once, or does that just make me a madman?

nah make u a rally driver instead of a drifter takes a little extra "crazy" in ur breakfast to do that shit next to trees. certainly an adrenaline pumper

do you realise you sound so awsome by saying you do this on the street in your fully sick vn bro, my advice weld the diff and have a more controlable car than a shitty open centre diff that CAN and one day WILL spit you into a light pole or a tree while your initiating the slide in your commo, remember most of us here are talking about off street drifting rather then on street. Manual is the shit for drifting there is no other way to be

lol i detected high levels of sarcasim from ZEROPSI

For this zeropsi bloke the gaymeter is up there too.

Oh right, should have used this one then huh?

Yeah, but it doesn't go high enough.

Cartz, throw some nitrous on there and see how you go. If that's not enough, then go to the expense and effort of turbo.

I remember drifting at Powercruise (2005 I think it was) when my ED was n/a. I just had a baby cam, exhaust, K&N panel filter and a spool with a manual of course. It did pretty well for n/a, got it to hold 3rd gear around turn 6 a QR with 185/60/15's on the back. I remember thinking to myself, "another 50hp would do". Somehow, between thinking that and taking a spanner to the car I had bought a turbo kit and lost my way a little. Wish I had just tried nitrous first, would have been so much cheaper and easier.

doesnt a bottle of nos only last like a minute?
i remember reading that a full bottle would only last 60 seconds of use.
that would be gay for drifting id say if thats all u get but if it lasts longer then could be worth it.
cheers josh.

i entered the wednesday night hectic drift sesh at archerfield in justines old ef does that make me eligible to comment?

Yes bushy, I know you can steer for a fact.

I was doing mad (well...for a given definition of mad...) weight-transfer initiated slides in the NC on the way home from Graceville tonight. I had no choice but to use that method as the throttle cable is stretched so it has much less power than stocker, and I had my toolbox and 4 19" rims with tyres on them in the boot and in the rear passenger footwells

Bahahahha!!

LWB drifting ftw!

I'm sure it lasts longer than that. In any case you can have more than one bottle in the boot plus you don't need it to be on all the time either, only at 100% throttle which you wouldn't need to be at all the time considering the extra power you'd have. If you start running out of puff have another stab at full throttle for a bit and off you go.
I'm not saying it's the best option, I'm saying I'd like to try it or see someone try it out as a cheaper option than turbo, who knows, maybe it'd be enough.
I'd do it myself but I don't have a falcon nor any money anymore.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. I do not support drifting on the street or any other type of idiotic behaviour. Nor do I own a commy.

I'm sure you've been around the block a few times. You'd be almost a pro at picking out fellow homosexuals. But sadly, you're wrong this time. I smash more box than suspects eb.

I think the problem with nitrous is it's not a good idea to get on and off the throttle with it, it can cause backfires through the intake and stuff. Maybe if you had port injected n2o and a really good controller for it you could get away with it...

You could just put a windsor in if you wanted more power.
