well guys its a loan car not mine. its on dyno mode 2nd gear. i felt really stupid why i did this but i thought i would share. the place is a controlled enviroment. it like an abandoned parking lot next to matress place. as you also can see the floor is slippery enough that you can loose traction on 2nd gear and 2500 rpm. and its an underground parking lot and also i can drift the whole lot but he can only take a video of the two turns but there is a car parked there and i cant really swing on the last end. but yeah by the time the video ends the dyno mode expired and it went to 4th or 5th gear or something . it was fun i ussually go there just to have fun with my old E30. im sorry for people who thinks its another stupid teenager who doesnt know what his doing but yeah. bad things happen when you push that limit. thats why i didnt go all hard and i dont want to brake the car.

out of knowledge is our cars have like a limited slip because it feels so easy to control the car.

who ever lives in vegas you know that you been in that underground parking lot at flamingo and hualapai

and for those who liked it thank you and for those who criticize no problem i posted this to get peoples opinions. and for those who said i got this from tokyo drift i prove you wrong i might not be as good as what you see but. ive been well my uncle my dads brother in the phillippines does this kinds of things its called a slalom not drifting. my uncle does this show for crowds. he did it even before the first fast and the furious came out so just a little info now his retired his son has been doing it since he is 11 and now his 21 and his now the top asian practical shooter olympic champion or somrthing like that

some threads get bumped to "off topic" or "classified"... we need ones like this and the "did my homework... top ten coupes" to be bumped into a separate group "threads in need of bashing" so we can filter out all the junk that ends up here.

what do you guys think?

completely agree..... all the Sponge-Bob nautical nonsense on this board needs to be cleaned up.

it's pretty simple though... if you see a thread that is completely and utterly useless (in terms that it offers nothing new or of a technical / informative nature regarding the W203/CL203/S203), then ask a MODERATOR to either:
  • close (dead issue)
  • merge (with a duplicate or similar thread)
  • delete (offensive / obscene)
  • move (Off Topic / Classifieds / or wherever)

There is an ongoing effort to clean up the MBWorld forums throughout, and the MODERATORS are doing a good job coming up with new fresh ideas.
Help them out, by pointing out what is working and what is not.
Believe me, in the future when some of us die-hards still are clinging to our beloved 203's, these threads will become more and more useful. But weeding through tons of useless posts and threads will make it very difficult and frustrating. So cleaning up now, is better than trying to clean up later.
