Sparky Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I thort this was a video of me then or something Nutters Quote
Ryno Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 so thats why my insurance premium went up this year what were the sparks anyway? the rims where the tyres were under-inflated or some type of tray under the back wheels with the HB on? Quote
badsanta Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 your insurance goes up because of people crashing there cars, not because people have fun in a empty industrial estate, if there was video of a 200sx having fun its cool, but starlets arent aloud, Quote
gaz Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 yeah thats all fair enough. but a starlet aint RWD. Quote
Ryno Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 because videos like that on youtube make more little chavs go out and buy a Glanza so they can go street racing with their mates and crash into things, each other, kids!wouldn't think a 200sx doing that would be cool, would just think he's an idiot for wasting rubber and putting unnecessary strain/ware on his car! Quote
badsanta Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 my tyres were being changed thats one of the reason we did it, i wanted to see wat a drift felt like, and owning a fwd car the only way to do that is with trays, sorry for my imaturity and chav like behaviour! Quote
ecksjay Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 fair enough for wanting to know what it feels like.although. that aint drifting, its sliding without any control, drifting is obviously quite a bit different, but i'm sure you know that anyway.everyone's done the 'ol tray thing so can't really judge at the end of the day, it a bit of fun. defo get yourself in a proper rwd when you can, you'll see the difference for yourself then Quote
badsanta Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 i know thats not really drifting, because im not being pushed by the back wheels in a controlled manor, i really shud by a s13 or sumthing to play in, but that means i would be burning rubber in it, and putting the car under strain, oh and having fun!cant do that can we now! Quote
ecksjay Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 ye you cant compare the two, but there we go, thats why you dont see drifting fwd's in d1 events etc Quote
shelly_star Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 dear oh dear, i can't believe my eyes in what i just saw.. poor glanza defo.This is not a very good example to set to new drivers or to any drivers.Lol and there i thought you were a sensible type badsanta, hench the name!! DOH!! Quote
Nanglebadger Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Shocking behavior!!! i must say as a mod im appauled at such a disgraceful example to set other people...

ecksjay Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 ah just watched it with sound, i know what you mean now when you say poor glanza, sounds painful Quote
Nanglebadger Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Im sorry my love. Wont happen again. Phil. Quote
badsanta Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 we all have a inner child, mine slipped out for 10 minutes that day, Quote
Shaun Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 whats wrong with a bit of fun y dont you lot just go and try it as you dont seem to drive your cars hard at anytime Quote
Nanglebadger Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 You'll note my 'disapproval' was in jest, hence the smilies after my comment, sense the tone, not difficult to pick up on that really.so dont be directing any huffing comments at me thank u please.Phil. Quote
Ryno Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 whats wrong with a bit of fun y dont you lot just go and try it as you dont seem to drive your cars hard at anytimeyeah it is fun, but in a banger, doing it in something like a glanza/GT. just shows how little respect you have for your car!i drive my car hard, but on the road/track, not in a carpark to post up on the internet.yes we've all been there and done it, i was just shocked to see a glanza doing it, as if it dosn't cost enough when things go wrong on their own!

Nanglebadger Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way...Phil. Quote
badsanta Posted November 8, 2006 Author Posted November 8, 2006 can you explain wat damage ive done please, other then loss of rubber on tyres that was going in the bin! i was doing it for about 2 minutes, there wasnt any tention on my handbrake because i was on trays, if i was doing handbrake turns then it is a problem!also you guys didnt seem to mind the red gt with side exhaust hitting the limiter in every gear, wats sort of driving is that! Quote
Ryno Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 2mins of hitting the limiter with insufficient air-flow to cool the engine.excess force when the weight from the back of the car is being transfered all into the front geometry of the car which is on full lockto lock and being pushed and dragged in all directions in the name of fun.when the trays ware down and the tyre finally touches the tarmac the sideways force to the rear would not help your axle in the slightest!i'm sure those more tech. minded then me would also be able to highlight other ways 'fun' can cause damage Quote
