excellenct point. i found that using it for entry was far better on tight corners that wernt as fast and that i wanted to use it going into smalled corners when i was carrying too much speed out of a long entry corner. :) ill see how i go with the flick method, my diff will probably ruin 3/5...

managed to pull-off a few 65-80km/h hand brake entries this weekend, never really tried them befor with the stock hand brake :O was great fun i think ill look into a hydraulic hand brake early next year when i can afford it :D

haha a turbo on 5L would be nice :) not seen too often either. with flanker's talk on camber, what did you need to fit for your camber adjustment. i un-did the bolts bracing the lower end of my front struts and the little adjustment stopper pin in the hub assembly and simply moved my hubs as...

took my ute out today with a set of 15's and had a few goes at hand brake entry. as it is the stock vs handbrake i had to use a fair bit of force to brake traction :D went really well suprisingly i recon with and extented lever with some sort of a trigger mechanism for releasing the hand brake...

nice theory, the diff is important for sure haha. my lsd used to have me linking corners nicely but now its worn out and will only do right handers :( thats next on the list!!! my ute is quite heavy though so power doesnt hurt but your right. you can drift without tonnes of power its just harder

so your saying i should specially order my springs and shocks but have them set for my ride height and load rates? that sounds cool. ill look into that! as for then engine im well on the way already now haha. the block is being honed and surfaced. rings checked and filed and cam bearings fitted...

so far on the front im running monroe gt sport struts with ultra low king springs, done recently. i added nolethane strut mount bearings and nolethane sway bar links and bushes. i plan on doing a strut brace and a sway bar upgrade and mounts, possibly coil overs in a year or so to replace the...

cheesy, nice video :beer chug:

im also curious on the 284 as the block i am building has flat top pistons and im focused on high revs rather than off the mark acceleration

i was just concidering the crane 276. chinabone, are you running the stock intake and heads. and have you changed your diff gears? whats your opinion on the cam

good to see the feedback :D I get a few people respond poorly to a drift vs based on your average p plater spinning an open wheeler pulling out onto the road with the sub rattling the number plate off the boot giving the vr-vs a bad reputation. i thought of going for a light sedan with your...

9.5:1 aye. i've been off from tafe and the rest working to try put some money together and ill be getting my cam next week. i have to make a decision this week. ill be keeping the stock intake and ill leave the heads (for now... based on budget). after reading a thread on here (by green foam or...

i know this is a commodore forum and when people think of drifting commodores dont exactly come to mind straight away but they are out there! and im not just talking about holding the tail out around a small 90 degree turn in the wet either. let me know if you like drifitng and what you think...

my car was defected a while back. the only person i could get wheel specs and laws off was a tire dealer.. if the rim diameter and a tire spec was in there catalog they deamed it legal... i called the police and pitts and they didnt help.

just re-read the original post and it sounds like the crow 4503 might be a 'goer'. peaks at 3500-6000. at the moment my engine wont even rev past 5500 haha
