I have an undescribeable amount of hatred for that term.

I would like to know if there is a set criteria for some to become 'drift spec' because everywhere I look on Trademe Mufflers/BodyKits/Wheels etc all are advertised as being 'drift spec' including some FWD Honda items... WTF? :?

To be drift spec, something has to be suitably crap/damaged/unfinished looking of course.

Wankers,


Drift spec implies the car has been set up for drifting. If you are too ignorant to understand that drifting as a sport requires a different suspension/tyre setup from a circuit car or even a hill climb car, you are just as bad as the guys who can't spell propahlee an' have an inklinaytin two waffle on about rota's and the like.


But yeah.. let's all rag the educationally challenged because we're all so superior.

No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

You made me laugh. :lol:

I am superior, because I own a European car, and everyone knows they are better than everything else (especially Japanese cars), although it's not quite as good as an E30 BMW, which are clearly the best vehicles ever to roam this planet.

You didnt get asked this at a pub did you?
A 'grip race' doesnt involve cars. :lol:

P.S.

"Aaaah mean, you've got an AE86/S13/Cefiro/etc!?"

"Yep."

"Do you drift it/Does it drift?!?!?!?!!?" *cue look of hopeful excitement, as if they've just got an interview to be the pool boy at the playboy mansion*

"Nah."

"Oh." *cue look of dissapointment, as if you left their first born to play on the motorway or something*

Ditto, all the fckn time. If you try to have any sort of technical coversation about the cars specs or whatever they just go blank :lol:

Like this one guy who thought ae86's were turbo as standard.

Another time some random came up to my car in town as I was leaving from the movies and he asked if I'd do some drifts in a carpark. Sad really.
