Notice that he basically never touched the E brake the whole time and still accomplished greater angle than most drifters and had proper speed control. My hat is off to you good sir!
The "pro" drifters drive all drive the same setups. All cars feel almost the same and they are used to only driving those setups.Yes they are very skilled drivers but they don't come close to guys that can rip any car on a backroad.To me that Is a special skill when you can drift with what you got.
Late to the party... but Its the first time I’ve seen this one. Wow. I always know how good your driving skill is, but that entry @ 1:45 gave me goosebumps. Incredible driving as always! Much respect from Canada
Those feint motions look so angry!!!! So dope. The one dislike was because that person didnt know how to transfer the weight properly during feint and spun the other way.
WOW (speechless) you know your car way too well!!! The angles you could achieve and the way you throw it around...this is going to sound gaylordish but driving like that is an art!!! And true purist running with the Carb setup i Love it!!
@VincentS327 do you personally think this AE86 in the vid was well tuned for drifting? i mean..i love AE86s..but some of them looks to be tuned way better...comes with better sense of power..and it seems to be easier to control..this car seems to be all over the track..or maybe its just the way this guy drives..doesn't seem very smooth to me at all..almost as though he is struggling behind the well..
Sup man, Love your original style.. Just wanted to ask a little on your dampers and spring rates.. Are you running conventional 8f 6r spring rates? rear traction bracket? Thanks man
You need to make more videos like this! :D Great work! Love the steering wheel action! Some day I hope to do these things, or try at least, with my Laurel C32 :D
runningfree86 How often do you use your hand brake? I'm beginning drifting and i notice some people say to use it to start a drift but others use it when they feel there losing control?
John H the 2 reasons people use the handbrake is to initiate the drift and when you are about to straighten up. not when you are loosing control that just makes the situation worse
Professional drifters also use the same techniques he's using. In drifting not every move has be smooth. If your car has serious under steer then weight transferring is important, therefore aggressive turning is somewhat important.
i just saw this build thread and i would have turbo'ed it instead because even with all that work he did to it, he still has to clutch it like mad to drift in 2nd-3rd gears
i dont really agree, i mean watch it again when it gets near a corner all he dose is throw it to the side and its sideways instantly, hes a good driver and that things was changing direction instantly. also most onboard vids are of total pros normally not using 4AG engines so the sounds and response of the car is totally different.
@tuned4life Thanks i understood. I don't think I miss any power. If it looks so,,, 1, up and down of the course 2, the video is out lap, tire is not ready to grip. 3.too much traction because of eqall length rear rods. or luck of driving technic!
ive watched videos of sharky here for years now, i definately have to dub the, clutchkick king, i can feel that in my stomach so good , i wish i had the money to do this everyday :( 4life
Awesome vid, great skills and nice car! While many prefer high horsepower machines to have fun with, I guess the challenge of making it work really appeals to 86 owners like us :p
