[BRUTAL64]

Just got handed a book on how to drift. Can't wait to read it.:sm_up_there:

No Scandinavian flicks allowed. And no, I'm not talking about Sweedish porn.

Well, I was actually talking about vehicle drifting, but I like your take on this. The porn part anyway.:motorsmile:

The Flick is when you turn the car awai from the corner and then abruptly turn in. It unsettles the car and initiates a drift. Be carefull because all those videos where guys go to drift into a corner then procede directly to the closest barrier are flicks gone wrong.

Competitive Drifting (D1) prohibits flicks. You can only turn in and power on (plus their suspension setup is totally specialized). Ralley drivers are the ones who developed and routinely use flicks as part of their technique.

Depress clutch, select gear (1st typically), hold accelerator to WOT, release clutch rapidly, continue holding accelerator to WOT, shift gear box to next consecutive gear once redline RPM is achieved (without depressing clutch). Repeat last two steps as desired.

Yea, that's always the way I did it. :lmfao:

D1 is only 1 sanctioning body. Go to streefire.net and it's littered with "professional" drifters on walls. D-1 definately lets you use the E brake and pop the clutch.

The suspension is totally different, but the only real speciallized part is the steering arms and A-arms that are modified to allow greater steering angles.

Want to drift like a pro? Inflate your rear tires to 45 psi, drop the fronts to 28 and let it fly.

D1 is where the tops and that's all I'm referring to. To my knowledge no other professional sanctioning bodies allow the flick in "competition", my original assertion. :huh: Whether or not psuedo-professional jack asses flick themselves into a wall is a different question. :judge:

So when is the 64' Drift King video set for release?

I've got the 360 degree drifts and figure eights down right now. The rest...... well I'll let you know.:smack::drink:

Give me a big private lot with no speed bumps and I'll learn how to do it on my own.

That 64 has IRS, rear drive and basically the same suspension that mine does. No reason it can't be made stiff enough to do some drifitng. Just need some big wheels on there with low pros.

Yep same basic chassis and suspension 63 to 81.

Nice pictures!

Let me know when your 64s ready for paint... I know a guy. :p

Actually, I'm thinking of selling it for the down payment of a new car ---quite possible that will be 2010 Grand Sport. So painting it...........:bang::huh:


Tell that guy I've seen his work and he'll be the first one I talk to.

I'm in no position now, but run numbers and see what you'd want sans driveline. I'd want the chassis/body diff and a stinger hood if you got it, but I'd be doing something different with motor and trans.

You want to break up Brutal??? I do have the stinger hood untouched in 37 years since I go it. Oh it is primered--but light grey.

It's really not what I want, it's more what I will need. If I go through with this, It's going to be my last Vette. I want you to have Brutal, but I'm not totally convinced I can afford the Grand Sport. If I feed my cats and then do nothing but the Vette I'll be able to afford it. It comes down to whether I want to live that way or not.:huh:

I want you to have the 64 unless Bird comes up with a better offer:smack:

There's no hurry of course. You should think long and hard. Even keeping Brutal as it is, and maybe adding something like an EcoBoost Focus, a la Brit style Hot Hatch would be pretty cool and a lot less costly. The next free cash I get goes towards the project car to get it going. Then I have my current Vette (though it's not entirely out of the question to sell my current and do something similar with Brutal etc.), who knows. Just all possibilities.

We'll talk. All this is what these car shows are for. To check this shit out.:drink:
