Default 1st gen drifting..requested vid/pics

Atlanta Drift Expo--right click and save as

This is all I have right now, it was done by a spectator at an event my team entered 11/19 in Atlanta. My run is at 1:48 in the vid, it is 45MB. Remember, my GS300 is making 178rwhp and stock auto with a welded diff. Be kind..

Please Right Click and Save As.. limited bandwidth

I have some pictures on several other sites

www.floridaracing.org go to the Atlanta Drift Expo I'm in about 20 pics..scrolling across the bottom. I'll link the individual pics later but right now I just got home from the shopp and dinner is calling my name

Very cool. I want to try. What kind of suspension you got? Also, why is the video so smashed? Makes the cars look funny.

With the power you are making Rob, all you need is an LSD and some shocks and springs.. will be pretty easy.

I have vid all the way back to when I was drifting on the stock shocks and springs.. then the stock shocks and Eibach pro-Kits.. now I'm on HKS Hiper-D's and I have to say, they are way too soft for serious competition. My next suspension will be SaRD Racing.

Dunno about the quality of the vid.. it was done quickly to get some footage up by a guy on another forum I frequent.. SEDA www.southeastdrift.com

The GS300 is actually a pretty well balanced chassis even in stock form once the tail is swinging. Lowering the center of gravity does away with the tendency to snap back out of a slide when transitioning.

Oh man, great looking car, awesome pics. The video was great, but there was only like less than 10 seconds of you, unless I missed it.

What limited slip are you running?

I am thinking about looking to see what it would take to put in a MK3 diff, as they are LSD already.

I'm running a LincolnArc diff. welded.

here is another vid from an event back in March '05. This one I still had an open diff, and just a regular setbelt. I drifted by holding onto the center console to keep myself centered in the seat..LOL (I have a 4 pt now)

I'm in it 3 times..1:41, 3:00 and 5:20.. but watch the whole thing..it's pretty good editing/music, but crappy camera.

I still have to keep my car driveable on the streets, so Lincoln lock won't work for me. I would run them in my 4runner with 38" tires. Even with welding in pieces of socket wrench extensions the lock still broke. I eventually went Detroit. But that doesn't compare in price to the GS300 $800 LSD.

I really wish there were some other options.

Yea, the welding of the diff was a last ditch effort. It is holding up so far, but I have dreams of a 3.76 Torsen from the auto mk4. My car is a daily driver.. that is why I got backed into doing this swap now so much earlier than I had planned when the usdm tranny went out and the jdm tranny wont work without the gte computer.

I cant complain about the tranny though.. tough as hell considering what I put it thru for 1.5 yrs as you can see.. and when I bought the car there was already 206k on it!!
