i skiied (well, snowboard) down a black dimond run after a rain... i got up to 43 mph(i have a laser bike speedo with me) and it was pretty scary, i was pretty lucky that i did not trip over any pock's on the slicked over snow...

oh, i am just being the devil's advocate, since there(ima pretty sure) is noone that will admit to wanting to demolish their car in a race...

ima pretty sure, that people would want to keep their cars in one piece in a race, but damage makes it more challanging, since, it's harder to recover, and it would be a good incentive NOT to crash

@woz, nice one

@evil pimp, right on

i am

if you squint at that really hard, it looks like the suzuki suv race car that won pikes peak this year...

Quote from kamkorPL :

One thing is for sure. I bet my G25 that Ikaponthus wouldn't dare to say things he says about drifting in real life for example to :

Paul Vlasblom

or any of those:

Team Falken Europe Drivers

I also bet 2 G25 that he would change his point of view if he received a proper drift co-drive on high speed track with very good driver and in a very good car. Not to mention his point of view changing completly if he got a chance to try drifting and noticed he is just spinning and can't control it for some reason.

but... so would anyone about any motorsport... if you show them what's exciting about the sport, they will love it... especially if it has to do with a car

sandstorm-darude

chrono trigger revival- Over Clock remix

he might be a weekend/holiday driver, like me, i am viewing this forum from my itouch from under my desk right now... calculus is sooooooo boring

just make it so that everything can be done in the garage, except that there will be physical limitations to setups... such as if you make something really rediculous and the sizing doesn't match up, you will not be able to do certain things (such as steer)

"moo..."


i believe drifting is a sport, just as figureskating is a sport

^cool, sounds legit

here is the boarderline of tuning: if your stablizing mods exede your boost mods, you are a ricer

if you put fake "bling" on ur car, you are just being silly, which is much MUCH worst then rice...

me thinks that we need to have a "LFS needs to be more realistic, although we apreciate what we have now" club...

damn it, read what i said about rice! if you try to stablize your car while your car is still un-boosted or weak, you are ricing! because i am pretty sure that MOST manufactures would take care of any problems during the PROTOTYPE TEST

erm... actually low hp cars can make a very decent drifter...

look at the Eunos and corolla drifters

barly 100hp, but it's cool

okey, that is a reasonable mod, to make the air flow more controled at high speeds, to make the car less shaky and nervous, but if someone who mounts an formula style bodykit on a smart car... what is that? it's like some one putting h2o injection into a VW polo.

there are preformance mods that increase the craziness

and there are mods that stablelize it to make it safer to add even more power...

if you put stablizing mods on a car that is weak... that's rice...

i am called atlantian because i am a swimer, as in "atlantis"???

well, rice can be refered to a poser car of any nationality

and if it can be refered to as tuning... idk wat to say, it just shouldn't

Quote from Ikaponthus :

No cash, upgrades, "car tuning", etc. please.

what do you call the ability to modify your diff and suspension (in the garage)called? tuning is not adding body kits, that's ricing, tuning is replacing parts of the engine, transmission, suspension, ect, that's not exactly a bad thing ya know?

dude.. putting [sport] and the word [n00bish] after that and linking it with the word [is] is bashing the said sport, or did you not know that?

Quote :

Cruising is a form of motorsport. Motorsport doesn't necessarily have to be a competition of who can drive around a track fastest. Cruising IRL is a major part of youth society (In Ireland anyway), and I along with anybody who's ever seen it would call it motorsport.

in real life, it's just chavs going around the neighborhood driving extremely slow in sports or luxury cars... with the stereo way up, over here we call it "bumping", it is

anyways... i disagree with him about the n00bishness of drifting, i believe that drifting is equally relevant and venerable as racing

^maybe... but i would think that the XRG is the EASIEST to control sliding...

what is a cruise server? some grannies and 13 yr olds learning to drive using LFS?

i think drifting is awesome, it's a get together show off of car control skills...

but speaking of trolling and posts...
DAMN, my post counts are going down... it's nearly half of what it was before...

btw, Ikaponthus did you even bother posting or reading the Newb forums?

mind giving us a background story?
would be nice!
