thats bloody awesome drifting in a FWD awesome man... ****ting on cars that cost 15 times as much and have little weiners driving them that think there good would be a great feeling well done funny stuff to
ok this is just a story of one of my outings i had could be an "interesting article" if u read it upside down...
in canberra we have extreamly large round abouts every wher the most know is capital hill right near civic, all the drugos get smashed there,
i was flying over the bridge towards civic just after a kill some civic ball muncher. tried passing a new BMW Z4, but decided he was better, so i as all us golf drivers do put the foot flat to the floor, with the round about approching fast and wet roads. we hit just on 150, i was about a car length behind (HELLO Z4 PEOPLE) so i ducked up the inside on the bike lane NOTE: anyone who has been around this road will know exsactly what im talking about.
i launched the car, swear i got some air, cut infront of him about 3 car lenghts and the ass just started sliding out right for the gutter, so i panicked a bit wiped the poo from my ass and planted it, missed the inside gutter by about half metre still side ways swung back the other way and held about a 100m drift smooth as butter, befor swinging back againg and doing another smooth 50m drift befor locking it up to slow down right at the first set of lights....................... u know the days u wish u had a passenger in the car to witness things like this........this was one mind u this Z4 must of seen the rear of a famous white golf all over the shop which probly looked like i did it on pourpose. lets just say i bought a lotto ticket the next day...
oh i didnt win either.
the golf is not dead.

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

"Fit the gearbox ya bum." Loon - best post ever!
Brings back memories of a late night drive at the autofest last year. Chasing steves mk2 on a HUGE sweeper. Balancing the car on the throttle and making ground. Bloody great feeling
We do things like that on every corner of every lap at the race track.
Its fun fun fun till ya daddy takes the T Bird away ???????
I was no different at your age but hanging the tail can be rectified.
Explain your spring shock swaybar combination.Wheel track won't alter it much.
I remember my first escapade on the race track in a modified Gold I spun on the third corner. I was an experienced race driver (of other makes) at the time and thought the suspension set up was cool.Boy was I wrong, I went home and reengineered the rear end and never spun it again(fingers crossed)
yeah been looking at that, taking a trip to inline in quenbeyan for a complete set up, would be good to get it done properly like when they were installed
