+1 for KA my beater hatch back is easier to slide than my SR coupe… for low speed sliding i’d take a KA anyday ---

what sasha said, he drove my ka when it had a leaky valve and a dead fuel pump. as long as you entered faster than anyone else you would make the corner haha when i first put my old ca in when it was stock, it was pretty much slower than a ka untill it hit about 5grand. it took me 2 months to learn how to slide it, then when i went back to ka i could slide the ka even better cause i was used to having to enter way faster with the rev’s up. ive drifted an sr with basic mods and kat with basic mods and they were still easlier than a stock ka. bottom line is if you want to drift and be half decent you need a brand new vlsd or mechanical diff and coilovers ---

That is what Jesse is saying… not that you can’t, just that it is easier… then when you get the engine, you will be killer. Theo ---

i think that is one of the main differences i notice between lots of american _style_ am drifters and japanese style am drifters, japs will generally have coilovers and a diff before they upgrade their stock sr. americans will put more into power than suspension. Making the car look silly and twitchy. _sometimes_ though i tried to drift theo’s car with coilovers and vlsd and it was the gayest thing i think i have ever tried to drift. It was awsome while grip driving. though it felt like a family sedan through the corner ---

The driver was the gay aspect of your trying to drift my car jes. it doesn’t have a vlsd, it is open now… and the coils were at full soft when you drove it. I have sways coming, going to add more preload to the coils, and will crank up the damening to full hard for a real drifting track. Where is your super awsome car now jesse? in the garage cause you can’t keep it on the track? nice setup hahahaha Don’t call my car gay ---

I’ve never really considered the KA “torqy”. When you guys refer to it that way it sounds a little weird but I guess it makes sense when compared to other 4-bangers. What do you guys consider “high” entry speed? I find the only way I can get a good drift going is if I hit the corner at +80km/h. This is in a KA, mind you.
