    I figured that's what you two where doing. One of u asks an obvious question and wait for a answer then you gets a laff. And the two of you continue pooning each other in the butt.

    Like I said I'm here all the time. as a matter of fact in headed up right now. myspace.com/4ourthseal whenever you get your car started. I love how you kids think you need 600whp of twin turbo goodness to win.

    The turbo only and insane horse power only cover for you lack of disapline and skill. come on down I can cover your bet.

    no that is doing a burnout, like everyone can do that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3DitNlGMI0

    Power brakeing is when in a car with an auto you load up the drive train before launching the car

    left foot on the brake and rev the engine to build some load so when you let go of the brakes you can accelerate a bit faster out of the hole.

    Anyways, if you know your rotor and pads are worn down why don't you just maintain your damn car then you won't have to compensate for your own stupidity. Pads and rotors arn't hard to change.

    you can actually draw patterns on the ground in rubber.
    Thank you captain obvious

    WHAT? do you do burnouts at like every stop light? and is your car and automatic since I have never heard the term "power braking" used with a manual

    Cause the FWD can't what? that sentence doesn't make sense

    Was this in your 84 SR5 convertable?

    I mean you've got to know how dumb your first post sounds right?

    I guess I kind got caught up in downhill cause of the movies. But, I soon found out what hollywood cameras hide. Downhill is scary. It seem to require whats beyond my two years experiance. Uphill I never took serious and I assumed it was for high powered cars. I should stop assuming. My motor is in and I'm restarting prelim shakedowns.
    You said there you only have 2 years of experience (which I think is plenty really But i'll get into that later) But hell yeah downhill is scary I don't know anyone who even has a misconception that it isn't.

    I went to the spot alone thursday alone and a Z33 happened to get behind me on the uphill. About 8 minutes of maddness. This situation wasnt my intention but i figured it would help to have a little pressure.

    he gave up about 4 minuets in, yeah my head swelled. I beat a turbo z in a n/a spraypainted rotary. but what hit me more was how comfortable i was. the only thing that slowed my down was a bad rear brake rotor that kept throwing off weight transfers. Drifts were confident and complete. straits were slow (N/A). I got to the point where i wasnt nervously staring at the hood and steering wheel. I was actually looking about 4 to 7 seconds ahead to the next incline.
    You have 2 years of experience and you're just starting to look a head of yourself, slow learner I take it. But really I have no idea how ONE rear brake rotor could be throwing off your weight transfer, if any of your brakes work weight transfer will happen anyways. Also if you didnt know the guy how did you know it was a turbo Z

    I think I'm hooked. I even came home and finally tried an uphill course on the simulater TXRD2.
    now this is the one that cracks me up Kaido battle 3 (Tokyo racer drift 2) Is not a simulator has some of the worst physics of any game I have ever played I have pplayed the *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* out of the japanese version because well it is fun. But it is not a sim in any respect really


    The weight transfer issue is my main question. My rear brakes need work. but the car would rock like a ship on braking and turn in to the next drift.

    so any tips on controlling weight transition?
    this is such a vague question you can't even answer it its like asking "how do I sail a Sail boat?" i mean the specifics are deep and varied based on the situation. But really if you want to ask a vague question you will get a vague answer

    Shift weight forward = let off gas or get on brakes
    Shift weight rearward = get on gas
    shift weight to the right = turn left
    shift weight to left = turn left

    use in combination but im sure with 2 years of experience you should al ready know that.

    Yes, I need to install my suspension but its cold here so that has to wait.

    and either way good suspension or not a bad transition is a bad transition. And i definitely had myself worried two times.

    thank you in advance
    i mean really what you said sounds very vague in every respect so vage that it could easily be a complete fabrication. believe it or not we get alot of people who join this and other web sites who love to make tons of *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* up and we usually don't give stories like yours the benefit of the doubt unless there is some sort of proof

    Trollkumi, don't back out now... you just called me assclown. I am a business owner(www.driftbuffet.com), sponsored driver,paid test pilot, professional trash talker and ....oh yeah... one more thing - I drove all the cars in your favorite video game so they could record the sound and make your dreams feel real!

    I am older than you think, faster than you'll ever be and have more seat time than your whole damn family. Now go make some popcorn for "utah" so he can continue to have a few LOLS today and not go hungry!

    I'm going to go listen to some DEL, a little Freestyle Fellowship, and maybe some
    Gorrillaz while I get paid to drive cars. I think you get paid to drive cars too - from the service writer to the bay....
    Har har har.
