So I was rushing like a crazed idiot this morning. Was driving a bit faster than I do normally, but at 4:20am in the morning, there's NOBODY else on the road. So I timed a light just right where I would take a right hand turn. Typically hit this light at red, so never got to really power thru it. Typical 90* turn. Took it at around 45mph. The car did a slight 4 wheel slide before going into a wicked oversteer condition. Steered into it and releases the throttle. SNAP! The tail comes back in line and I rocket off. What I'd do to have a video of that!!

I'm kinda afraid now, since I know this car will do it under aggressive manuvering...I mean, I'm now going to be looking for every chance I can get to snap that tail out. It was a beautiful feeling.

This Madness rear sway on the stiff setting, KW springs and Yoko AVS tires sure makes for some FUN driving!!! Never, EVER been in a FWD car that's had such fun, predicable oversteer. Amazing. :smile:

Just HAD to share!

If it's anything like Colorado Springs I'm sure they have a nice shot of it on the red light cameras. Perhaps you could go chat with your friendly local police and ask if they would give you a copy.

Yep here is a copy and could you sign this ticket for careless driving. The sway bar is great I love the way the car handles with it. I have stock tires and springs but the car is alot more predictable it does not plow in under hard turning like it used to. Before I put the sway bar on I thought the run flats were the problem. If you dont have the sway bar yet go to work make some extra $$ and order one. Its so worth it and not hard to put in.

 

Davbret, i couldent agree more, I had a similar situation a while back, and now that i have finally hammered down a way to get video up and online, I will do my best to get a video of a mini in 4 wheel drift mode! wish me luck!

 

Today I had to jam on the brakes REAL HARD!! To my surprise there was no dipping of the front and it was soooo smooth! It looked professional.. I smiled as if i ment to do that with tounge in cheek!!
