drifting at matchams
 
was out drifting at matchams last night:) 1st time ive been out there in the wet, and some spots were slippery as fook due the banger racers earlier in the week dropping oil everywhere, but i dident put it in the wall so all's good, found a little vid on driftworks, bit poor quality but you can get the idea;)

Good stuff! Did you get those bushes fitted?

Looks like its nice and flat round the bends. Now its lower at the front, do the wheels rub at all on full lock?

i havent got the bushes fitted yet, there in the freezer ready to go;) think i might try today or the weekend, you done yours yet?

yeah it rubs on full lock on the inner arch, but i think thats it, and it only seems to do it one side as the trackings so far out:eek: but as soon as i get my rear subframe bushes fitted its going in for full alignment, any ideas about good settings for oversteer:)

To be honest I don't know what the drift boys do for setup.

Easiest setup is just go neutral all round, you cant go wrong there.

Nope :( just keep running out of time! They seem a little more solid than I was expecting, but they should do the job! I'm going to have a crack at it this weekend (fingers crossed) but I need to sort the brakes out first!

Why are you putting them in the freezer? Are they made of ice cream? :1la

datdrift 24-11-2006 10:48

because if you put them in the freezer they contract and fit in easier, meaning i'm less likely to damage them when putting them in:)

Yeah I tried doing it with my solid ones. Made no difference. Might work better with poly ones. Used a sledge hammer to get one in :shoot

yeah it does seem to make a difference freezing these ones, ive got my diff one done, but havent attempted dropping the subframe yet.......
