i just got the idea, because i was watching some Formula D(its f1, but u drift)
well, one of the best drifters there, Rhys Millen, wanted to get some practice, but his GTO wasnt ready, so he picked a random car from the parking lot...a 1998 E320, completely stock...and he was drifiting that thing like it was nothing! o man...i felt proud of having that car...RYHS IS A GOD ...so i know it can be done, but HOW??


i mean the car is RWD, it does have power, just...do you have the ***** to do it

i would do it, but i would like to go straight than sideways

if you do drift it, how do you do it, the car is automatic, and there is no e-brake handle, just the pedal, and if you press the pedal to hard, it locks, than u gotta pull the e-brake release handle.

so...can it be done?

how?

they only showed the inside of the car when rhys was sideways, he just braked and floored it and the car was sideways like nothing, tons of smoke too!

and the car was automatic!

got a video to prove this???

Tweel

nope..been looking for it, i saw it on g4....

has anyone actually done this?

ReZzZ320

i can peal the car up 2 3rd gear :P

Tweel

well, i can do a small burnout, but, it woukd be cool to drift this car, i heard tommygunn has done it

hubert

I tryed once and had to fix up my Carlsson bumper, never did it again too expensive

Tweel

anyone actually drifted their car successfully?!

hubert

I dont thing its possible if one do not cisconect the ESP ABS and all that crap tottaly.

I would have to agree that without completely disconnecting at least the ABS or bypassing it, the chances of a good drift are reliant on road conditions (wet/slick) and even then it would seem improbable. But Rhys IS a drift god so if anyone could.

my E430 rocket

the only way to get the 210 sideways is power over steer. you can't pull the e-brake or drop a clutch. i like getting sideways in mine once in a while

FlatlineEF9

feint would probably work.

Why would you want to abuse your car like that?

1. If you want to go do stupid crap buy a beater nissan or something...
2. Don't do this on public roads
3. You're a kid the guys that make this look easy are pro's, you'll just total your car or kill yourself or someone else..
4.

Love that last one. JDM and GDM in perfect harmony.

yeah, but the time i did it on dry i killed my tires. Its easy to do it on snow, the car is really easy to slide. On wet, you have to disconnect the ABS system under the hood so that the abs does not interfear.

Tommy_s4

Yeah it is, the abs system is under the hood so you unplug it and the esp, est, abs cant kick in because the system is unpluged.

ReZzZ320

where exactlyunder the hood??

LeftLane911

G-Box drifting is the best!!!

Tommy_s4

send me a pic of under your hood and i'll show you. my car is in the shop untill tomorow so if you want to wait i'll show you how.

Tommy, is that a Gruppe M intake? If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost?

Tommy_s4

but i got mine from hubert.

Tommy_s4

Ok guys i'm going down to finnaly wash my car and show you how to disconnect the esp, est, and abs program for drifting. I do not advise anyone to try this.

Looking forward to it Tommy!

Tweel

cant wait tommy, now i need a nice track to practice on

djf1

What he said and then some... plus you will be looking very soon for some really expensive parts to repair your tranny, half shafts etc. That is if you don't total the car and kill yourself or some innocent people.
