when it slides , IT SLIDES!!
« on: 12 March 2008, 12:23 »
had a funny experience in my mk3 1.4 last nite, 

i drove home from my friends house at about midnite and got to an industrial area were i live, so i decided to have a little fun :wink: :wink:

it was nice and wet, so i drove towards a nice wide corner , turned in the wheel and ripped the handbrake at about 35mph,

the car wipped its rear end out really nicly and kinda shocked me for a second how much it came out,

i was goin kinda sideways and i could feel i was gunna hit the kerb so i let go of the steering wheel for a split second and it automatically span the opposite way and the whole car leveled itself out ,then i quickly caught the wheel and drove outta the slide nice and straight,  :grin:

it was like somthing outta the drift king videos on youtube :smiley: :smiley: i was quite pleased with myself how nicly i pulled it off, as my quick thinking to let go of the wheel saved me from smacking into the kerb and a 5 ft high brick wall :grin:

i now remember why i love my mk3 so much,  :cool: and i dont have power steering lol

well, the fastest way to counter steer in a situation like that is to let go of the wheel and then catch it, if i had tried to counter steer without letting go i would never have made it, my arms cant spin as fast as the wheel can,    if u watch profesional drifters they hit the handbrake at like 40 - 50mph and then they always make sure they let go of the wheel to let it counter steer,

dnt worry mikester one day you will, learn how to drive stik :wink:
