Ke50 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 yes all cars must run -6 degrees camber on the front, oh, we don't need grip on the front because we'll be sliding around the corner, so who needs front end grip, etc etc. ...i always thought the negative camber was for when the suspension was under lateral load or during weight transfer so the tyres had more surface area in contact with the road, giving better turn in and steering input response? maybe i thought wrong? whatever you may think about drifting, you have to admit, there are some super cool drift cars around. my favourite from japan is hibino tetsuya's levin coupe..16v 4age..flat-side carbs..close ratio gear set... *drools* or from australia, i like josh's 86.. especially after seeing all the work that has gone into it (forgot which forum all the pics are on). but i also like micheal spencer's onevia, for a ca18 its pretty tough.

Gaijin Doru Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 *points to your avatar and thinks... that positive camber on lock is killing me* anyway 2 things #1 because I am such a d0r1f7oR I sprained my ankle on monday... well not really I was puddle jumping and landed with my foot half on half off the gutter #2 all those people saying that drifting is not a motorsport... who are you to define what a motorsport is? do you even know what the word means?

Mr Revhead[RL] Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 motorsport = motor RACING racing = time based or first past the post... i bet you i am far more involved in motorsport than you are. probably more than you will EVER be. driftng is not motor sport. end of story.

demuire Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Well, motorsport for me is any "sport" where cars are involved. What is a "sport"? Well some people consider frisbee to be a "sport", so yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
