i have a 1985 carolla set up to drift on a trailer out back, it is fun in a rwd car, but it is a hell of a lot more fun to do it in a fwd, you dont have to kill the clutch, just swing the rear end around with the e brake and catch it with the front wheels, pure fun

YAY redneck your now my hero, just minus the xB on dirt roads part :p

ERRRRR i just hate it when i hear people even use the word drift....
Making your tire screech is not drifting!

"Oh! I lost some traction back there, I totally drifted."
NO! you don't know how to drive!

okay, you can do crazy sliding with a ff car, but with an xb? NO. just no. Yeah i've seen some ff's and even a little rex drift. but in YOUR or anyones xb on this forum, NO.

But the thing is, even if you do have some fr car like a s2k or something, making your tire screech is not drifting.

Now do yourself a favor, and don't go out and try to drift your box. Or your dads Cadillac or whatever.

Sorry if I sound like I'm yelling my ___ off. Its just that when it comes to drifting, I can't take it.

DONT BE THIS PERSON!

im someones hero, yeah...if i had a dollar for everytime that i heard that....

dude im not that stupid, that is why i stick to dirt roads, you start to loose control and you can just grab the e brake and let it hang, will stop you in no time, but facing the wrong way

i just recently made the mistake of drifting in a neighbor hood, i spun out an hit the curb and broke my "A-arm" so that bassically sucks

LOL...did anyone catch the "bday present" comment? I wish they had bought you a Honda...you'd fit into the F&F scene a little better.

Dude, take care of that thing...before it kills you or you kill yourself.

Haxx

11-01-2005, 04:13 AM

i didnt do it intentionally!!! (the drift was intentional not hitting the curb) its gonna be fixed by thursday so no worries and I payed for the repairs my parents didnt pay anything for them

crazy_kat_matt

11-01-2005, 04:18 AM

omg i find this offensive, being that i come from a long time of drifting. please keep the drifting to RWD. especially not a box. they are cars not meant to be destroyed by drifting. maybe hitting the curb is a lesson to you not to drift a FWD. not to mention, your too damn young to own a car, especially a xb. discusting. leave the drifting to the real men ;)

LOL...take it easy guys...Live and learn, right? I just hope HE lives AND learns!
BTW, a 240SX? Got another bday coming up? LOL. Or was the xB deemed a POS because the A-Arm broke and the parents want you in something else? Just curious...

lol it just sickens me how some of us have to work our asses off for stuff and still are madly in debt while others have stuff handed to them on a silver platter.

Whoaa,
Hold on here, you mean you dirfted your xb and hit the curb:shock:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Okay, seriously, I would'nt tried it to my box again because that almost happend to me except that I did it once on a wet road w/ my freind who was drivin his Honda Accord. (of course it was more like e-brake drifting). Any way he made a left turn, counter steer car difts tp left, and made look simple. And I thought, Hey I can do that. So this is what happen:

I speed up @ 35mph 8)
left turn curve comin up 100 ft
as I turn left, pull e-brake slightly still @ 35mph
box rear sways to the right
counter steer right, e-brake slight up
THEN A BEEPING SOUND ALARMS beep beep beep beep beep beep
rear still swaying to the right :nails: counter steer lock right :!:
box still maintans a drift to left, but now I'm parkin :shock:
Box not stoppin, now my rear is in direction of movment!!!
Traction and SVC light all on :nails:
Dumpster near my box, I pull e-brake full and stumpted my brake peddal
THEN all of a sudden, pumping noise from my brakes (ABS Initiated)
Box slowly pulls to a stop. Looked outside, my rear bumper is just 4" away from the dumpster :relief:
My freind laughing hard at the corner, boy did i felt like a :loser:

Either I did it wrong, or the xB was not designed to be drifted, especialy all those traction and stabilzer gagets that come with it. Oh and one thing, I fogot to turn off the Traction Control :loser:

Not that anyone would do it, but is there a way to disable the VSC?

I like to have some fun with the e-brake in empty parking lots in the winter but found out today that even with trac -off the VSC is still fully functional. I know some toyota's disable the VSC when trac is off. Any way of disabling ours?

I'll never be jealous of an idiot!

Its funny, a guy that has an s2k tries to make me jealous bout his stupid drifting stories but I never bite. :blah:

Teenagers "drift" to look cool anyways. Its one of those teenager things. I'm sure most of these kids will grow out of it.

Chambers

11-03-2005, 02:04 AM

one more thing
Haxx, what the hell are you doing with an xB anyways? Your sig doesn't fit a person with a FF car. and your posts sound like they're coming from a "badass" 14 year old. who also smokes to look cool

Big_Bird

11-03-2005, 02:22 AM

you kinda feel bad for the kid getting pumled all over the place, but then again he is mentally challenged, because you have to be to try that stupid sh*t and then want another car after your folks just bought you a car, a tad spoiled i'd say
