a video from your tube that is grm related

someone posted this video from hyperfest on a drifting board i am on and in the first few secs i thought where funny though....talk about grm related though..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUaqUHMBWh0

I want the truck but with out the through bed exhaust.

Haha. What do drifters all hit that breaks their bumpers off? (I know they're held on with zip ties most of the time). Low ground clearance + off course excursions? Each other?

That stuff is pretty cool though. It looks like tons of fun!

sometimes each other. sometimes things like curbs, fire hydrants. they also like to hold the tail out after getting through the corner and try to get close to the wall/barrier and scuff the bumper, some try, many fail. ive seen it happen twice to the same guy.

dirt dropping also leads to lots of lost bumpers/side skirts.

pretty quality video editing...

I liked it. I am now 13.5% more interested in Drifting...off to find a 240...

Nice vid. I liked seeing the Iroc in there with the 240s

Yeah that Iroc was amazing!

Craigslist search = Mitsubishi Mighty Max, 4G63T, Holset, semi stacks...

I am surprised we do not see more BMWs drifting. With the "drift tax" pushing the prices of 240s, Z, and the like higher and higher, an E36 seems like a bargan

The opening shot was my favorite!

Drifting is not my thing, but you can't argue with the awesomeness of those cars!

their gettiing used more often, two of my friends now have BMWs after selling their S13s and S14s. one has an E36 325i and the other an E34(?) 5 series.

The e36 seems like it will be used more for grip, but he slides it around every once in awhile. My friend with the 5 series is more into drifting but he says he feels like the car needs more oomph to keep it out and keep the angle. So a turbo setup is in the works. or possibly a toyota 1jz swap if we want to make things overly complicated and give ourselves headaches

Personally i think people are too stuck on S chassis nissans, yeah they get crazy angle but they have such a high drift tax and often are incredibly rusty. or put together by shadetree mechanics.

Some people think the Mazda 929 is the ultimate drift car.

i always wanted to drift a first generation gs300. 1jz or 2jz. either one works for me.

Volvo 240 anyone?

a volvo 240 would be sweet. it would throw people for a loop when you told them you drift a 240 and showed up in one of those. wonder if an LS1 would fit in it?

nah, go with a ford 5.0 and add the Volvo Penta Valve covers from the marine engines.

ooh, I really like that idea

In reply to Debbie Brozyna:

i wondered if someone would comment on the opening scene....

I am surprized that there aren't more mini trucks being used this way. my datsun 620 loved going sideways seiously, if I were going to build a drift specific machine thats the route that I would take, Datsun 620, sr20det or I6 from an '80s turbo Z, add cage and improved rear suspension + flashy wheels= sideways all the time....not that I'm into that sort of thing....
