Body Roll, FWD Roll Options

[CrazyJ]

After reading the now closed "body roll" topic I just want to add that I can make my 94 SSII JDM 2.0 Celica (3sge) drift around a round-a-bout (these simplify big junctions in the uk)...

I was doing about 20mph driving like miss daisy in third gear barely touching the acceleration and my back end came right out whilst on a 2/3 lock of the wheel to the right.... It came out so bad I drifted the last 1/3 of the round-a-bout off to my exit... very cool and extremely scary....any doubters and I will take you for a spin myself (if you live near of course) and er prove it...

Any I was defo driving carefully because the missis was in the car...

I have had the front shocks changed and the anti roll bar bushes since, also waiting for the cv joints to be changed,.. I can still make it do it but have to work harder now.

just for the record.

Cheers

here goes my story...

At first then i bought my celica (compleatly stock, on stock 15 steeles), i almost crashed it like 3 times, and this was just becose my tail was sliding so bad, that i didnt knew what to do... It wasnt drifting, but the tail of my car was so light, that after few sharp turns of the wheel on gravel i could drift to the outside of the corner so easy not even using my handbrake... same happend on normal roads.. few times i came to sharp to the corner and tail just slided, leaving my car at 35' angle in the corner... it was no fun at all, i was just sceard cuz of not being able to control then my there my car gonna go control... In winter it was fun, cuz i ould drift (yes kwanza DRIFT ) any corners i wanted without handbrake...just few sharp turns of the steering wheel, and tail just slided easily...

It all ended then i lowered my car, and put the 225/45 on... from what day, i can do crazy speed corners without been sceard of my tail sliding away... only thing that im sceard what my front or whole car will lose grip and i will end up at safty bariers...

I just keep repeating the same sh!t over and over so it's becoming pointless. I've driven cars to the brink and even destroyed one and I assure you, getting the tail to slide is not an easy task. Dry pavement makes it a completely different game (I've said this I don't know how many times)... snow is easy, gravel and dirt is easy because you don't have to set on the gas to continue the slide. You can tap it. Pavement, well, any attempts at major throttle control will cause the front to increase grip and understeer. No throttle control will cause loss of speed and result in grip (spin-out of understeer). *Sigh*... I need to get on a track and demonstrate. That'll be the only way you people can know the differences...
