1.4 breaking traction in the dry enough to get it sideways with an open diff... never happened to me in either 340's or 2.0 360's! 2nd gear in the wet however...
Possible with enough commitment on my 175's, I was running Mich Energy's constantly then though as I lived next to Costco ;)

Sorry for the hijack Nikdev, but I have to show that you can definately drift on dry, with a open diff and even a variomatic (so no clutchkicking!) Allright, it are original wheels..

Most important issue is that when the car gives up, I'll be stuck in a different country with my uber ovlov... (like a few weeks ago with the engine blowup) That sucks bigtime
Yes, you need speed indeed. What about above ^^

Yes i do, but I have just upgraded my license so i can take it on a flat bed\trailer. Going to do that next season(but i need a car that can pull it, so i probably need to sell the daily drive 360 :cry: )
All issues(only small ones) has been sorted on the track, had to drive home with a broken diff once but that was no biggie.


More money spent.. 2l catch tank:

Where did you get the relocation kit from? Getting firm info on which plates fit a B200/230 is proving tricky...

cheers

Alley Cats FTW!

Does your Luisi Steering boss keep the horn and indicator canceling the same as standard?

I have seen a place in the states that sells them.

And BTW I am paying a large amount to Intrax on Monday, so they can start manufacturing front and rear coilovers for me :D

HOT. Make sure they take it easy with the spring rate of the rear coilies, or you might see them appear through the boot floor.

I'd figure that if he was paying great expense for rear coilys then he'll just turret and link the rear properly as a matter of course.... though, thats just what I'd do... so, whats the plan :lol:
