Thanks for putting that video up (2nd one) been looking for it for ages.

Anyway no clue, I'm confused what you mean by Honda and v tecing?

Well Honda kinda has its own scene and people say Honda has its own way of life :homme: then drifting is kinda classed all as one no matter what the manufacture.

[Tommo87]

I'd rather buy in S2k and have the option of both.

[Mochachino]

I'd rather buy in S2k and have the option of both.

haha I thought that when I put the poll up

[CrouchyM]

Im sorry but that second video is my kind of heaven.

THAT'S ON A PUBLIC ROAD! The japanese have it all, weather, roads and their country makes the Vtec engines. Would love to live there so much.

VTEC FTW.

[chris-hall-yo]

both are sweet but for me its drifting JUST!. going round a corner sideways in a cloud of smoke...... u cant beat it

[manta]

His laugh sounds evil.

[Jazz]

Drifting is alright, but its got nothing on VTEC street racing which is done in Hong Kong, Japan etc... It is bloody epic.

Honda is a way of life over there.

Still don't get the comparison. It's hardly like what do you prefer Pepsi or Coke, or VW or Audi.

You've basically asked do you like driving or driving in my eyes lol.

[Mochachino]

I dont get what you are saying? You telling me you cant tell if the second video is drifting or not? lol

[haz_pro]

I would prefer the biking scene to both.

[cyne]

I dont get what you are saying? You telling me you cant tell if the second video is drifting or not? lol

No haha. I'm saying I like driving whether it's in a honda on a public road or in rx7 drift weapon on a track.

So to me it's all the same. If that makes any sense. :oops:

[SaxoVTRben]

I love that 2nd vid, proper streetracing not a few kids just ragging there 1.0s about thinking there cool. Do wonder what car the camera car was though he was rinsing all of them :p

Drifting is an art form, all about technique. Sorry to jack the thread but watch this drift link aswell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqPZtIQLyws&feature=related

Madness especially the charger haha:cool:

[Jay_]

drift IMO. :y:

[Carl-h]

I prefer drift personally. But that Japan driving must take some skill and a huge set of bollocks tbh. I've had my silly driving/riding days now but I could of never done that lol.

[SaxoVTRben]

yeah man, see he was right up that guys arse for ages if he had braked would have been a totally different story

[Jay_]

I'm actually looking to get a drifty motor as my next one!

[SaxoVTRben]

2nd's that mate :) what you looking at getting?

[Viper]

Weird comparison. Skilful car control against a type of car?

[Jay_]

2nd's that mate :) what you looking at getting?
200SX would be something that could look alright and I could learn in! OR a Beemer 320 touring...
Weird comparison. Skilful car control against a type of car?

Its the "scene" as opposed to cars. Honda scene seems to be a load of fan boys with super expensive parts. Drift is about learning about cars & having fun with mates from what I've seen. I much prefer the latter.

[SaxoVTRben]

how is it? they are both types made/modified for drift or streetrace and both takes a great deal of skillful driving

[SaxoVTRben]

i do like the old sx's but hands down supra tt would always be my choice :)...for either drift or race lol.

[Jay_]

Yeah I know that, but this is what I am taking from the thread, and I'm giving my opinion.

I like how you think Hondas are for street racing.... :homme:

[cyne]

Pleased I'm not the only one who didn't get it.

[Mochachino]

Weird comparison. Skilful car control against a type of car?

The comparison is the scene, not the type of driving. Guess the video links derailed the original question.

[saladdodger]

You gotta be good at both to get anywhere IMO.

I think they are 2 different scenes/community's/likes whatever you wanna call it, you cant really compare like F1 and Daytona, both do the same thing but in different ways.

I like both, almost equally. Drift is more laughing enjoyment for me, racing seems more serious.

[iluminusbutterfly]

When did drifting become a scene?

If you're drift scene you're doing it wrong

[Mochachino]

When did drifting become a scene?

If your drift scene your doing it wrong

Clearly some people just don't get the hang of it.

[iluminusbutterfly]

Clearly your are telling me people intentially cable tie on bumpers and put dents in cars?

[Mochachino]

Proof you haven't got the hang of this thread.

[iluminusbutterfly]

Proof I'm not down with the kids, drifting has always been about going sideways and enjoying yourself, not trying to fit into a 'scene',

[Aaron]

Think this thread went abit wrong.

Aren't u supposed to be sticking up photos of gay men for a gay thread?

[Jay_]

Proof I'm not down with the kids, drifting has always been about going sideways and enjoying yourself, not trying to fit into a 'scene',

exactly. The hole aspect of drifting is about getting out there and doing it & having fun.

Honda fan bois (IMO) spend loads to look cool in car parks.

Watch "Keep drifting fun" on vimeo. Cracking 30 mins.

[Mochachino]

Proof I'm not down with the kids, drifting has always been about going sideways and enjoying yourself, not trying to fit into a 'scene',

Yeh, so which do you prefer :wall: just take the word 'scene' out of it if it offends you so much, scene was used as a term to categorise drifting, much the same way as you have used the word drifting to categorise that group together. No one said anything about fitting into a scene, you dont have to fit into a scene. A scene doesnt mean you have to be something certain, a scene doesnt have to be something you are in.

What do you prefer, the sewing scene, the reading scene, or the gynastics scene?

Think this thread went abit wrong.

Aren't u supposed to be sticking up photos of gay men for a gay thread?

Just abit, thanks to the simpleton above. Il find pics of gay men now mate x

[iluminusbutterfly]

But drifting isn't a scene, it's a mentality and a way of life....

[Mochachino]

But drifting isn't a scene, it's a mentality and a way of life....

Ok so what do you prefer, the mentality and way of life of Drifting or the mentality and way of life of Honda?

[saladdodger]

What i cant get over and i have close friends who do it, is the fact that 'FWD' becomes 'gay' all of a sudden.

Apparently RWD is for men.

I guess the RWD men can drive FWD like Plato or Neil easy then ???

[cyne]

Ok so what do you prefer, the mentality and way of life of Drifting or the mentality and way of life of Honda?

Honda is a fucking car manufacturer. Drifting is a way of driving a vehicle.

A cross on a church is an object. Islam is a way of living.

Fuck logic.

[iluminusbutterfly]

Cba to argue

Drifting

[Jay_]

I know what you mean Danny it's fine.

People are just tarts and can't read into things.

[greyjasper51]

Drift... Its alot more fun...

[Mochachino]

Have you not read the previous posts in this thread, or know of Honda being a way of life? lol

What do you prefer? Drifting and the cars used for drifting or do you prefer Honda's and actions that comes with the Honda 'scene'? Sitting in a car park as some have said.

[Mochachino]

I know what you mean Danny it's fine.

People are just tarts and can't read into things.

Thanks, I don't know why its so hard for some people.

To be able to make a decision on which you prefer you have to understand the question. To be able to say one prefers drifting clearly shows you are not a fan of Honda along with its following, characteristics and activities of its owners etc.

[blackie_2k5]

never been in a tec...seen alot go, but thats about it

id get banned with something driftable..so i think ill keep the saxo for now..

I give up

I prefer off roading to Peugeots and the Peugeot scene. However I like the way of life of fords but don't like sitting in car parks in Euro'd german cars.

Etc.

That made me laugh :drink:

Good to know you prefer off roading rather than walking round a car park of euro'd cars.

[GolfJay]

I prefer the VW scene to be honest. Must be the most chilled out scene to be honest.

[blackie_2k5]

i now saxos are cliche'd

but its all the same in the dub scene :(

[saladdodger]

:y: agree

I only got the VTR as it was £200.

Dont be fooled though, there are plenty of twats on VW forums;)

It was bait for illuminus butterfly to bite at mate

[cyne]

That made me laugh :drink:

:y:

Hate the euro scene and the car park warrior scene.

[greyjasper51]

:y:

Hate the euro scene and the car park warrior scene.

Personally hate the "race spec" cars that sit in the carpark and have never seen a track in their life, ive given up even looking at things that say "race" because there usually shit... Competition is what you want but idiots never buy competition because their b&q wages wont cover it...

[iluminusbutterfly]

Real men chicken out of rwd's for fwd's do they? ;)

[greyjasper51]

Ok so how to awd or 4wd stand? In these standings?

[saladdodger]

Real men chucked out of rwd's for fwd's do they? ;)

Real men, a person, an individual will buy what ever they want and like, not what 'fits in' or what might make them cool ;)

[saladdodger]

Ok so how to awd or 4wd stand? In these standings?

Audi S4/RS4/etc - Evo range etc - scoobies etc - those types are cool no doubt

[iluminusbutterfly]

Real men don't shit themselves when driving a rwd in the wet and then sell it


Damn where's gibbo he's better at explaining this to the sax4lyf parade than me

[greyjasper51]

A3 quattro?

[saladdodger]

If you like it you like it

[iluminusbutterfly]

Mochachino

[greyjasper51]

If you like it you like it

Own it already lol

[saladdodger]

Own it already lol

Id happily own one dude.

I dont listen to others, i buy what I like

[Mochachino]

Real men chicken out of rwd's for fwd's do they? ;)

Real men get bored of having an automatic then decide to sell up and get something thats more rare, and a proper drivers car ;) that holds its value much better.

FYI the BMW was sold because its un-enthused drive which was ruined by its automatic gearbox didn't justify its shit MPG of around 19mpg when driven very steady. I do miss its comforts though and the engine did sound quite nice, that along with it being rather slow too, even if it was the manual version of the 330 it still wasn't that quick. In some respects I miss it and would have another but this time a manual but then Id rather keep the Integra.

[Mochachino]

Who did that

haha I didnt sell up as soon as I shit myself in the wet! It was automatic and it was rather boring having to drive 30mph on a road in the wet with the traction control light still flickering when every other car and lorrys were driving at 55mph lol

To be fair, if it wasnt an automatic then I would have put up with it for longer.

[iluminusbutterfly]

You bought a auto? Fail dude serious fail, I thought better than that of you

Admittedly standard they are bland 'as it says on the tin' gt coupes, soon as you lower them and get a tad of camber it's a different kettle of fish

[iluminusbutterfly]

But dude u did shut yourself and sell, I remember the thread, you tried to overtake in the wet, got some wheel spin then had no confidence in it and sold it, I'd dig it up if I could be arsed and wasn't on my phone

[blackie_2k5]

no one is biting tonight :p

[Mochachino]

I wouldn't say they're bland, they're a nice car and can be driven well with a driver more used to RWD.

I bought an auto as at the time the saxo wasn't road legal and I was driving a 307 HDI everyday, so thought I could hack another car which wasn't such a thrill. But then having sold both and got the BMW I found out I was wrong and needed something that delivered more of a thrill! Can actually relax and drive this car normally a to b without having to be thinking about it spinning out all the time even with the slightest bit of throttle.

[greyjasper51]

More and more autos drive like manuals now... New stuff anyway but nothing can beat a real stickshift where i tell it what i want it todo and when :-) if i fuck it up its my fault and mine only, not the idiotic crashable computer telling me how to drive...

Maybe see im not a fan of traction controll...

[Mochachino]

But dude u did shut yourself and sell, I remember the thread, you tried to overtake in the wet, got some wheel spin then had no confidence in it and sold it, I'd dig it up if I could be arsed and wasn't on my phone

I did shit myself, but not when I overtook the lorry. That was a factor to show it was just a liability to drive normally in the wet. I shit myself when I was on the bridge in Nottingham city center in the wet, tiny bit of throttle and it spun up and started to go sideways and being used to FWD my immediate reaction was to give it more throttle, I ended up crossing 4 lanes and facing oncoming traffic which were at a distance thankfully with the traffic lights on red! I could have hit other cars and sent them into the river or myself otherwise. That wasn't driving like a dick either, that was just driving it steady to pick a mate up which I guess made it worse, had I been dicking about I would have forgiven it more, but as it was just normal driving it fucked me off.

That along with getting 19mph driving it steady just wasn't worth it and a waste of money. The thing that sealed the deal was when I went out with a mate and met her mates with an Integra and an EK9, that made me sell up and within a week or two I found a decent DC2. I lost £1k in a matter of a couple weeks. The DC2 was a much better investment, and gives me what I want from a car, never looked back. Not fully anyway haha, not sure why im explaining myself here :S

You're right blackie lol

[greyjasper51]

You're right blackie lol

Your all fucking wrong!! Horses are the future!! your all thick!!














Help abit? Make things interesting?

[stinkycheese]

Drifting isn't hard. The fact there are now 'Pro' drifters is funny.

[Mr_X]

what does

saxo4lyfy0<3

mean?

[saladdodger]

You bought a auto? Fail dude serious fail,

Depending on what car, Autos can be just as quick, its not the 80's. Its the people who think Autos are a fail who are failing thinking its a lesser car and not cool and most probably never owned or driven one. Unless your on a track and know how to drive like a race driver does, its not that relevant. IMO.

That's gonna be a little tricky.

[wicked-vtr]

I didn't read the whole thread but I bet it was full of people saying how cool drifting is who have never had a Rwd car lol.

Mochachino I've never had my car wheelspin like you described from a tiny bit of throttle, that's with no traction control and a welded diff, mabie that's the difference between na and boosted power delivery, did it kick down a gear or something? But yeah dont let that put you off, when you get bored of the teg get something with a manual box and do some drift days, you'll soon learn its limits :y:

[manta]

Lots of good'uns on utube.

[0rang3peel]

drifting is fun, but drift scene is gay?
