It rained friday and saturday night. New 240 with suspension, LSD, and a kevlar clutch. I figured I had to test it out.

That was pretty lame, no offence. Driving in circles at super low speed on a really wet parking lot.

Well, since you say it's a your new 240, I suppose you're still trying to get a feel for how it handles. Keep progressing slowly so you don't lose control. The video was kinda boring, but it sounds like you're still learning(aren't we all). Keep up the good work.

My tires were completely bald, I mean cords showing. They are off my old 240. I wanted to go put my other tires on but wasn't going to change them in the rain at 11 at night. That and I'm learning the ebrake. The ebrake didn't work on my last 240. I tried to stay in a small parking lot behind the local college, I didn't wan the cops driving by, I have had 3 tickets in the last 5 months. No excuses just stating the facts.

So I'll be out friday night trying it again with the new tires, well the tires that came with the car. Like crzycav86 said I'm still learning. I took the car out that friday. two days before that was when I finished the auto to manual swap. I have only had the car 2 weeks now. I had to stay in second the whole time. Well this friday I will try a rougher bigger parking lot so I can get my speed up and still be in control. Sorry for the dissappointment but other than that my friend and I are the only people attemped drifting that I have seen or heard of. Hey only 250 more miles till the clutch is broken in. Like I said I was just having fun not competing in the drift finals. Nick

Glad you got you another 240 Nick.

Yea man I noticed you were trying to use the ebrake with no success, heh. You've got the dam VLSD, just mash on the gas and get 'er sideways, work that steering wheel, and drift that biotch! Screw the ebrake.
