Usually if you have to countersteer to get straightened out you are definitely drifting, if you lose traction around the corner but your wheels stay straight through the apex to the corner exit to accerlerate hard out then you are still drifting but it’s a powerslide drift then. Today’s standards equates to:…

The guy was right a powerslide is a drift just not all drifts are powerslides. This is all by today’s standards, but a drift now typically means that your car still has yaw after the apex on the corner exit while the powerslide you are facing straight down the corner exit past the apex. Powersliding is a style of…

Does anyone remember in the first couple episodes of Initial D when everyone thought Takumi was just an idiot who knew nothing about cars and his buddy asked him about drifting and his reply was something to the extent of all 4 wheels losing traction to breeze past the apex in position to best accerlerate out of the…

Great video, correct me if I’m wrong because I don’t have time to rewatch it but I think Keiichi would consider a powerslide a drift still in this instance, in the video he explains there is drifting for function and drifting for show and obviously powersliding falls under function when most people today think of the…

And obviously you can clutch kick to enter a drift but it isn’t really recommended, Keiichi has a video on YouTube Drift Bible where he pretty much explains everything someone needs to know to start and all the techniques and how they are applied. the guy pretty well invented drifting, but he does say that there is a…

I think you got that backwards brother, there are like 5 different ways to initiate a drift (weight transfer, power over, hand brake, braking entry, liftoff oversteer) there may be more or less but typically powersliding which is more of a rally technique is most often times a weight transfer (Scandinavian flick) or a…

That’s weird, my e30 which isn’t an m3 it just had a sport package had an LSD and it is an ‘85

Also, keep in mind that in 2012 we had a new interpreter with our platoon that began asking weird questions about the mission we had the next day then proceeded to take pictures of all of our vehicles with his phone. With a little more investigation the guy was related to a tier 1 known terrorist and ended up being a…

Social media has created an urgency for people to jump on the bandwagon to protest for what is “right” which is always subjective. I agree with you though, I’ve been to Afghanistan and it is exactly how you describe it. The government has almost no control over what the citizens are doing, and even so the level of…

This comment makes too much sense to be on this thread, let alone the internet as a whole.

I can back this up, hatchbacks in this time period were weird, and I had seen a very small amount and those were more than likely wagons. I remember in the early 2000's when it became real popular to put B series engines in the hatchs, I thought it looked absurd because everyone drove coupes. The EP3 came out and it…

I thought having a higher octane fuel blend and being able to advance timing allowed you to add more air To the A/F mixture while remaining stoic which in turn made more power, I thought the compression ratio remained the same

I’m sure China has 95 RON available at the pump like Europe and the rest of the world, which would still be less octane than our USDM 93.

Good one, unfortunately the second picture of it wrecked looks like it has both doors still. Bummer

Definitely a post face lifted (or Kouki) s14 there bro.

I think a better argument to add to your analysis would be whether the “human driver” that also avoided the accident would have still avoided the accident if it were a self driving vehicle. When the crashed car entered its lane only a car length or two ahead, had the car been a Tesla would the software have reacted…

Careless and imprudent driving is a separate charge, if you are charged with a DUI then you are suspected of being under the influence of a controlled substance hence the name of “Driving Under the Influence”. It isn’t an appropriate charge, which is really the bottom line because “Driving Under the Influence of…

You got that backwards on the numbering of the turns. The smaller the number the tighter the radius
