Default Spotted a fellow member drifting at Adams!

I wont list any names. I am 99 percent sure this is who I think it is. He was doin' good but he needs stiffer suspension and some better hand brake action.

Ok that make sense. I thought you were foot braking. If you really want to get in to it get some stiffer suspension and a hydro e brake and you will be killin' it in no time. I could tell that thing has massive amounts of power though. It sounded MEAN!!!!

Nope all first gen CTS's even the Vs have a Foot E-Brake so its not useful for getting the thing to slide out.

Ya I have upgraded magnetic ride shocks but I'm waiting till I get the ground control coil over kit to install them. I just drift her for fun for now. She is really meant for a larger track and more of a race.

I want to build up a car i have in the backyard as my track/drift car

Awesome. I would have to say you have some balls drifting that car on that track. There is no room for error and you have a big and expensive car. I have been wanting to try it in my car but I am afraid to wreck it.

lol Everyone says that but its just a car at the end of the day. Yes i love her and i dont want to break her but how will she ever get upgrades if she never breaks

If you want to try it its not that hard and you get to have alot of fun. Just go slow and build up going faster and faster. The worst you will ever do at that track to your car is body damage. its to small to gain any real speed.

(NOT A PIC OF MY CAR)


This is the car i want to track.

1988 isuzu impulse turbo. 120hp out of a 2.0L 4 banger. not bad for the 80's

I'm thinking a LS1 would fit nicely and make a tad bit more to the wheels
