Nitro drifting?

[DaveW]

8x17's. yeh i'll chop off the wing but the nitrous??? its all the rage with jap drifters now

[The Doctor]

so if setting your car on fire is a rage in Japan, you're gonna do it also?

Looks very nice, but have to agree about the wing and the NOS thing

[SekiguchiUeno]

nice,



japanese tuners copies the us trends f&f are a hit.


lets us know then if you have that nice tink tink soud after 100kmh

Can't remember those huge chimneys being a hit in the US. Maybe they don't copy every trend after all...

Hmmm, having nitrous for drifting might help a bit but is not a very good help for improving your technique. It's like those launch-buttons you have in the BMW-M series: makes dragracing a lot less fun.

[nmwisima]

Yeah, right, Banp. Cause as we all know M-series are made for dragracing, right?

Ok, let's say you leave the nitrous oxide in the car...
What are going to do with it?
You 'll arrive in a corner and have your mind focus in how to press the f///ng button, instead of turning with precition....
This huge wing will keep the hachis rear glued in the road anyway

Plus, you will have to check the installation pretty carefuly. If its not good you 'll have to make it right or else engine will be dead soon. Most probablly you will anyway soon destroy your engine, not because Nitrous is bad but because most users do excesive and wrong usage of it.
Plus you will have to refill all the time.

My proposition is empty the bottlle 2-3 times to relax mentally, then leave it empty. Learn drifting without nitrous and then when you are ready fill the bot again. It will be a chalenge by then...

i'll use the NOS only when i've mastered the car, best way i'd agree

good idea, as far as i see it the nos should help the 86 keep up with cars with more power on high speed courses

T3 built it on their drift-coupe project as well...Sad as it is most non-japanese drift contests seem to think smoke is an important aspect. That is something an ordinary ae86 barely produces so you need something to smoke those tires up for the jury.

A spray nozzle inside the rear arch with an oil spray will do the trick

You didn't know!
Seriously: a lot of people just talk crap about using the launchbutton of the M-series and just dooling over the abilities of it. I did not say it actually is being used for official dragraces but I do read a lot of crap by guys who use their daddy's/uncles/friends car to show off how fast they can do a dragrace with their friends. It sounds like no fun to me, but hey, that's my opinion.

Anyway, the oil is also a great show off but I don't think the people are doing their drifts afterwards will like it very much.
