SNOW DAY!! = Drift practice

Post by **node** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 1:18 pm

Finnaly got my tires mounted on my new rims last nite. I didnt put them on the car though since I need to use up some more of my old wheels.

Guess what happens today! SNOW AND ICE What a pearfect combination. We had a group of several car who were all doing doughnuts in this huge parking lot around the corner from my house. We also played follow the leeder. It was very cool to see a line of cars all folowing each other sideways. Looked almost like one of those japanese drift vidios.

The best part about it was with the extremely slipery surface we were going no more than ten MPH so it was relitively safe.

Anyone else on the east coast had a chance to enjoy this stuff yet?

I did a 540 down at the end of my dead end street and I was leered at by an elderly woman from inside her house

Man, living in SoCal I always wondered what drifting in snow would be like.

I live in Richmond, and enjoyed the first Driftable snow yet this year. Just awsome!! I was doing donuts around lights in parkinglots for as long as I wanted, long ones through the parkinglot, and apexing the corner around a planter, it was awsome!! It was just a pain in the butt to get homw from work, I got stuck on a hill, and had to be pushed. LOL

I saw a E350 Campus utility van (natural gas powa) do some drifting in the snow. Some old dude was driving, he did it perfectly.

One my way to work today I went down and abandoned curvy road behind work and drifted the entire way. I wish there was a nice parking lot nearby, but no luck.

I tried drifting and plain driving up a hill in my friend's truck up in spokane washington, its just like driving in teh rain but waaay easier to go outta control. Hills are a ***** though, there I was flooring it up a hill and the car was still sliding backwards.

everytime we get some snow i go and hit up some parking lots, except the next day if it didn't snow anymore but was cold there are always dry spots in the parking lot which kinda ruins it.but today we're suppose to get 3" and tuesday 5"YAY

the first snowstorm of the year up here in MA my friend in his 91 celica and me in my new 240 went our local middle school parking lot and tore the thing up! too bad the cops showed up...it was my first time screwin around in the snow with the thing, ah well can't win em all...

Post by **dubstyles240** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 1:18 pm

I took the ol' 92 mirage HB out the other night for a ton of drifting, theres nothing better than FF snow drifting. I had my 240 out the other night and it started snowing, it just wasnt as fun, it's more scary. I was too worried bout messing it up and its a lot easier to loose control.

I tend to stick to neighborhoods and business parks, cuz cops are ****s around me.

I'm with Dubstyles, My baby is Parked for the winter. I gotta POS Jetta for a winterbeater this year. I almost forgot how much fun FF e-brake action was. I had a cherokee last winter.

Good call D1SR, Me and my AWD buddies( WRX, EVO, and VR4), went screwin around in a huge church parkin lot. Its was like 2 football field sizes long.

I'm in MD and its STILL snowing here...got like 4 inches...then ice...then another on top of that...so for the first 2 inches or so it was awesome running around the neighborhood and around the parking lots with my friends...but after that, the 240 tends to not move when the snow is halfway up the tire (who would have known?). So I gave up. It was definately fun though.

But for I know the make an 89 Lx-i which is injected.

i just got in trouble at school for doing fat *** donuts in the parking lot. but what the hell, all the girls loved it ;]

Post by **rbsileighty** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 1:18 pm

I actually went drifting up here in MI since we got 8+ inches of snow today. Thing is, I did it in the good ol Pathfinder! You'd never know such a big vehicle could do such a thing. It works since it is not a lot fun to drive in dry weather, even with the 250hp VQ35DE (manuals were rated at 250hp). The dry is for the S13.

My bad... I thought all carberutors were gone by early-mid 80s. I stand corrected.
