Will drifting spoil the car?

[greatharold]

Drifting on stone/sand ground...will it spoil the car?
For e.g. the suspension, ball bearing and engine..

Stressing the engine at 5k rpm for around 3-5 seconds, any damage?

Noob here... :rolleyes:

Find a big place to drift lehh
In wet floor is realy best...but u r FF or FR???
If FF put two pcs plate(fast foor carriage plate) on u rear wheel n pull up u handbrake to lock the tyre n plate.......then press gas pedal n feel drifting lorr

 

[DRFT_240sx]

if u are doin it on sand...it will definately damage your car if not engine wise... suspension and underbody cosmetic damages....

 

[greatharold]

Proton wira is FF or FR?
What is FF and FR?

I only know FWD and RWD...
FWD-front wheel drive
RWD-rear wheel drive

 

[nickoholic]

FF=front engine,front wheel drive
FR=f.engine,rear w.d
MR=Middle engine,rear w.d

anymore than this??dunno la..

proton is FF obviously!! :)

yea true. and sometimes ur car and urself too.. so careful when playing around ler.. especially for proton cars u have to be extra careful.. get a harder springs for ur car before playing.. its dangerous to play with stock wira springs, it flex like mad ( just my self experience so far, playing butt sliding, pls do not flame me if im wrong..)

 

[nickoholic]

Everything's possible :lol: Automatic gear Wira Aeroback pun boleh :D just a matter of whether u can control it or not is the problem!! :rolleyes:

by using common sense, you'd know that by drifting, spirited driving
it will cause more wear and tear to the car's engine, suspension,etc
as compared to normal driving.

but if you actually drift and you love to drift,
i dont think you'd mind the repair bills and such.

nickoholic: if u ask me .. i dont call all this drift la.. just more like ass dragging... (own opinion and experience, again pls dun fire me.. >.<)by using a hard springs ur car will yaw less .. cos last time when i use stock springs.. car yaw like hell when i do heavy cornering and when i counter the car goes 360 degree.(luckily that time no car, if not im sure dead) im pretty satisfy using hard springs to play around now even my butt memang suffer la going out bumps.

ic..now thats more like it..
i was crackin my head figuring how to drift an FF car..kekeke :lol:
i'm also using a comparatively hard springs,not so much prob with humps but really uneasy when travelling on uneven roads(holes everywhere),coz car like goin to tear apart due to vibration..

i dun really know anything bout "yaw"..
izzit mean car tilt like a boat while cornering?

mayb u could share some of yr experience with me bout sharp cornering,360 and yaw..
i'm a new driver.. still P :huh:
