From the looks of it you are in All-mode correct? It looks like you've got the idea down, but our diffs arn't set up to have real fun out there. if you install a rear locker, or 1.5 way diff of some sort, and just run it in 2wheel, you will have a ton more fun. but good video, and I have to give you props too, all that horse play and you didn't hit the idiot in the Honda Accord. I don't know what he was thinking, but FWD has no place playing drift car out there...Come to think of it, I can't really think of anyplace front wheel drive has a proper place? Except for the BTCC, other then that, 4WD, AWD, and RWD are all that should be (Playing) in the snow.

What exhaust setup do you have?

nice collection you got there.

Well we don't have snow/ice here in Florida, but I've done that in a field of light mud/wet dirt. It's a blast!I found using only the rear wheels to be way more effective than auto/4h.

Sicwitit, that video is sick! Looks like something out of a car commercial.

like I said I got to give props, you did a couple good wide AWD donuts, unlike most who just do a tight donut which is some what easy. I've got a task for you since I can't do it since I'm 12,000miles away from my pathy. practice using a garbage can, or some large soft object and slowly drive in a somewhat tight circle around it a couple times to get your senses in order, then brake the tires loose, and try and maintain a 3-5 foot distance between your front bumper, and object. then once you feel confident enough, try it around a light pole. I wish I had video of the times I use to practice this but that might be incrimedating evidence?

I posted the EVO vid for inspiration!

cheers

About 30 seconds into the video when you were heading straight at the camera, I thought I had something to send to Whacked Out Sports! Why is your car two different colors?

use AWD

I so wish I was back home to try this for myself, I only went out one time after a rain storm in a grass field. had some good results, but since I don't have a diff or locker, I could only get it to spin so much.
