Also have some Chris Harris drifting a E30 for your troubles.

Where all here in Opposite lock, so when is the last time you added counter steer to your life? For me in the winter months its damn near every time it snows, now however its sadly been amount a month.

When I had the rental Tundra....Because RWD....and rental cars are the fastest.

Last winter in my wife's old Suburban. I need to find a 7.5" Toyota LSD for my Supra axle so I can swap it into Grimace for more Oppo-goodness.

Driving around a corner as the light was turning yellow, I wanted to stay in the left lane upon exiting the turn but my rear eco-friendly tires didn't - I stepped over a bit and corrected.

Probably a few weeks ago in the Suburban. Wet roads, pulled out from a stop sign on a back-back road and had to oppo to keep it pointed the right direction. The AWD Lexus won't slide without some high speed craziness which won't be happening on a public road.

*sigh* I really need a fun RWD car again.

About a month ago. Tires are getting a little tired of my shenanigans.

Yes it was haha

Its only true though...If that 65k$ tundra was mine I would not have tried to slide it around the empty parking lot that night...

Last night. In the rain. On a motorcycle.

I knew it would not work. It did not work. We fell down.

I am embarrass.

Unless you count drifting my moms Z71 Silverado when I was 16, I've never had a LSD .... but I dream of the day.

Haha its understandable. I've never actually driven a rented car, I need to get done with school all ready so I can go on trips and have an excuse too.

Milky > McMike 08/22/2013 at 13:23

Lol sorry to hear .... I'm sure its a lot harder on 2 wheels.

My excuse was I needed to move stuff to NH and no one had a car I wanted to use...I mean big enough to fit all my stuff.

Two days ago on a freeway on-ramp.

The problem is when that back tire catches. If it does, it tosses you off. If it doesn't, then you stand a chance. You might go down, you might be able to oppo back to upright.

I lifted. Never lift.

When I did this. If you are getting oppo, make sure you're not too ham-fisted about it.

Orly? That usually means higher speeds .... nice sir.

Confession time, this happened last November. Which is why I'm sticking to snow mostly now, nice and slow snow.

Sorry about your BMW though.

BiTurbo228 - Dr Frankenstein of Spitfires > Milky 08/22/2013 at 13:44

Ouch. I've decided to only do it at slow speeds with nothing around to hit.

At least mine looks simpler to fix. Rear wings are a ballache.

Yea, suspension damage alone was $900 and I only paid $1,500 for the whole car 2 years prior. So I threw my other set of rims on it and sold it for $500 on Craigslist.

Have you fixed / are going to fix the bimmer?

Is that your Crossfire? It would be cool to have one among the Jalop community.

Also, in the lead pic, that's a lot of wheel spin with zero visual disturbance to the ground.

Unless counter steer to keep going straight during/after a burnout counts, it's been a couple weeks since I've kicked my truck sideways going through a turn.

Funny enough, I oppo'd about a month ago in a rain drenched parking lot, in my land cruiser. Surprisingly tail happy when you apply the handbrake...yeah that's right, its a handbrake.

Yessir and I know lol, that was the end of the life for those summer tires. Got new all seasons soon after that.

Milky > MrCrash 08/22/2013 at 15:09

I think the counter steer after the burnouts count. #Merica

Haha nice ... My jeeps had handbrakes too, way better than those foot operated ones.

I'm fixing it at the moment. It missed the bumper, so all of the crash structures are intact.

There's update 1 here , 2 here and 3 here . They're very common cars over here, so I've managed to get most of the bits I need from scrapyards, and the rest I can probably find from people breaking them on eBay.

All told I've spent about £80 so far, and at the end of it I reckon I'll only be out ~£150. Mainly because I'm doing all the work myself, and using second hand parts.

Hasn't snowed in a month, and it's August.

Not sure if you're from the southern hemisphere, or Canadian... :)
