Playing In The Rain...

racing2khaos · 10-19-2004, 11:40 PM

So its been raining hard this couple day in frisco... So you guys have any hardcore technique or just a tip to drift in the rain???

180sxdorift2 · 10-20-2004, 12:13 AM

power over every turn....thats what i always do

DriftingNewbie · 10-20-2004, 12:36 PM

if something breaks dont blame me, but you could try shiftlocking. My friend uses it and says it works everytime.

GoukiS14 · 10-20-2004, 12:49 PM

yeah it's best to practice shift lock in the rain

GoukiS14 · 10-20-2004, 12:49 PM

Yeah, the rain here's been great, the first day it rained i went out and had some fun.

The e-brake wasnt locking up, but kicking out the clutch got me nice and sideways.

racing2khaos · 10-20-2004, 05:09 PM

Hey thanks... and i was wondering how you do a wide turn drift in the rain??? and to keep in steady not to over turn like crazy!!!

general ganja · 10-20-2004, 07:06 PM

Wow, cali is great for dumping rain so graciously. Drifters have been praying for rain all year.

Drifting in the rain should be quite easy. In my starion, it's hard enough NOT to drift in the rain. But usually, power over and clutch kicks work more than enough.

racing2khaos · 10-20-2004, 07:13 PM

yeah its not that easy when you drift at 70+mph in the wet usually a slip out here and there...

general ganja · 10-20-2004, 07:28 PM

That's where "control" comes into play.

Control like janet jackson

frictionfighter · 10-20-2004, 08:04 PM

janet jackson sounds fun!!! little adrenaline is a good thing

DoriftuEvo · 10-20-2004, 10:16 PM

Drifting in the rain is the way to go. It's how I started and I really learned a lot in a big school lot. Minimal tire wear, slower speeds, bigger angles. It's everything a beginner needs.

Drift For Food · 10-21-2004, 12:16 AM

...and gravel, gravel's good too

ReavTek · 11-11-2004, 07:54 PM

Oh man do I love drifting in the wet. "Oh officer my car just started losing traction because of the slippery road, honest." Suckers...

I still remember when I was up at my friends house driving around trying to find a taco bell. Tires were down to the metal strips on the back and completely bald, just entering a corner fast and trail braking I was sliding like CRAZY. Man I never had so much fun before in my 350.

GoukiS14 · 11-11-2004, 09:11 PM

lol bald tires already on a 350z....somebody has been a naughty boy

AUSSIEDRIFTER · 11-11-2004, 09:21 PM

it is the best wat to learn, either shitlock or cluch kick drift should work just be aware of understear in the wet, it will catch you of gaurd and put you into i curb real quick

AUSSIEDRIFTER · 11-11-2004, 10:20 PM

sorry i ment SHIFTLOCK

spinitsidewayz! · 11-11-2004, 11:18 PM

lol nice typo..^^^ anyone try grip driving around cones in the rain? i try to use braking and weight to start a drift in the rain. clutchkick too.

GoukiS14 · 11-12-2004, 01:46 AM

I will once it starts raining again.... *prays for rain* I want it to rain so i can my two favorite things drive and snowboard

CrazyHawaiian · 11-12-2004, 04:26 AM

I like rain because the tires last so much longer.

11-12-2004, 07:27 AM

shift lock or what my personal favorite in the rain, breaking drift.. mind you if you come in too fast you're just screwed, but as long as you hit the breaks right, the back end will just start to come out.. then once it does just roll on the throttle

R2K · 11-12-2004, 11:52 PM
