Kick ass skills. Love the U turn at 2:00. Enjoy [evil] Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: tilt on January 15, 2011, 05:09:45 PM Now I can add something else to my list of things I can never do.
Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: stopintime on January 15, 2011, 05:14:05 PM I could do the drifting, if I only had a longer swingarm [laugh] ... maybe the RC car [cheeky] Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: hillbillypolack on January 15, 2011, 06:40:59 PM Let me understand something. It's an RX-8, right? Like in Mazda?
Look at 1:10 in. Doesn't that say 'Corvette' on the valve cover? Like in American V8 pushrod V8? [clap] Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: ccm900 on January 15, 2011, 11:07:32 PM Let me understand something. It's an RX-8, right? Like in Mazda? Look at 1:10 in.

Pretty bad ass, they're doing all kinds of crazy stiff in the drifting community And thansk for the post. Thats a pretty awesome video Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: Radar on January 16, 2011, 12:04:47 AM ...Wow...
Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: sbrguy on January 16, 2011, 12:07:18 AM got to give it to those guys that is some crazy bike handling skills.
Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: Raux on January 16, 2011, 03:55:07 AM wow, I mean draggin fingers during a drift :o
Who is that guy? And why is he doing that instead of GP. He has the most control of a bike I've ever seen on video. Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: stopintime on January 16, 2011, 04:28:17 AM wow, I mean draggin fingers during a drift :o Who is that guy? And why is he doing that instead of GP. He has the most control of a bike I've ever seen on video. Ducati Factory stunt rider - among many other things. Google Nick Brocha and you'll see he's too busy to do GP 8) Unless you're a factory GP rider, maybe the stunt money is better? The fingerdragging :o that's a statement! Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: Bishamon on January 16, 2011, 06:27:48 AM Simply amazing!
I saw an LS1-powered RX7 parked at a local mall once, which around here, was not something I expected to see. Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: Jarvicious on January 16, 2011, 12:07:35 PM Just saw this on my local board. The guy doing the hairicopter at the finish line cracked me up :)
Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: dennisd on January 17, 2011, 08:53:54 AM They make a kit to drop a V8 into a Miata also. I actually considered it (for a very short time) but I really like the way the Miata handles. I'd MUCH rather have the handling. I'm not into drifting or red light to red light racing.
Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: pennyrobber on January 17, 2011, 09:44:17 AM Some cool shots. Anyone want to lend me a bike so I can learn the look back coming onto the strait.
Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: El Matador on January 17, 2011, 09:48:44 AM So that's what you use a stretched out swinger for... Who knew? ;)
That's some serious skills right there. Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: orangelion03 on January 17, 2011, 10:18:39 AM They make a kit to drop a V8 into a Miata also. I actually considered it (for a very short time) but I really like the way the Miata handles. I'd MUCH rather have the handling. I'm not into drifting or red light to red light racing. Yup, the Ford 5.0 conversions are pretty quick, but real bears to handle. The torque tends to use up rear ends as well. I had a 1990 with a stock drivetrain (all my mods were to the suspension and brakes), but the most fun modified Miata I ever drove was a turbo-charged 1.8 M1 with about 200 hp and a LSD...nearly perfect balance of power and handling.

Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: Dietrich on January 22, 2011, 12:07:12 AM Just saw this on my local board. The guy doing the hairicopter at the finish line cracked me up :) Yep.. My favorite part as well....followed by the RC video car...too cool.Some cool shots. Anyone want to lend me a bike so I can learn the look back coming onto the strait. What!? I did that a couple times just a few months ago checking for Jon at INDE.... (Right! Who am I kidding!)If it's one thing I want to learn before I die it's rolling burnouts. Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: MadDuck on January 22, 2011, 12:32:23 AM Too much fun!!
Title: Re: Beautiful drifting Post by: hadesducati848 on January 22, 2011, 02:12:25 PM the kit for the LS7 Engine in the rx7 chasis puts the motor lower and closer to the fire wall to keep the balance as close to 50/50 as possible. Also the all aluminum block and heads are only 60 lbs heavier then the stock rotary engine that comes in the car. So it still handles very well and now the car has some serious torque and some reliability
