Sorry bout the other day Steve... I appologise.
I was a little rilled by your first post (just the nature, not really the content), but in hindsight, the best response from me would of been to just say i could be one of a few "Drift Forum" moderators, along with a few others with more hands on experiance than my self (SileightyMania, Nismo Jai, BenTaylor200 and others who i dont know have Drift knowledge? You?).
I could just supply the "annoying" (according to Matt_J) information, technical bits and bobs that people might need to know and background gubbins.
But, it aint gonna happen, but i figured i'd post this anyway.
Thanks
Paz

Cheers mate, very decent of you. Forgotten about. Got a bit narked myself, probably lack of sleep and could have written it in a less abrupt manner.
My drifting experience is the occasional power slide coming out of a bend/roundabout and best of all was when I managed to do half a large roundabout extremely sideways and managed to keep it together. Wasnt totally planned and I **** myself but it must have looked damn good to anyone watching.:D
I think to do it properly the car needs to be set up correctly, my car doesnt seem to do very well on the local roundabouts, seems to be either understeer or snap oversteer.:(
Drifting is an amazing sport but unfortunately we dont really have the roads to do it and car parks always seem to have bloody kerbs all over the place. I would like to have a go under proper conditions though, I like my car unbent.:)
Cheers

Cheers mate, much appreciated. :)
Whats your current Suspension set up? Just stiffening can help, but i presume with all the power you have, the shocks and springs have been uprated?
I think the other Key thing which would help, is getting an LSD on it.. The pre 92 RS13 is open diff, isnt it? A Viscous LSD from a later spec S13 would be cheapest i think... Both R200 Series rear ends, so it should be an easy swap? Did late specs come with a VLSD as standard, or was it an option?
An LSD would help normal driving too... Unless you allready have one? :D
Cheers

Their ****ing wicked in the snow, dangerous(cool though) in the wet and fun in the dry. :D
Also on Steves behalf he has SE springs and Konis on the rear, but I know he's not happy with that setup and I thnk he's going for adjustable KYB's.
mr carter sir, sorry to jump on this thread, but, another thread just reminded me of your sleeping prolem. have you tried sominex, available without prescrition from your local pharmacy, i found that it works wonders when im having a bad time on nights
