Good job, It's very difficult to power slide a mid engined car especially when it doesn't have a limited slip differential. The inside wheel tends to just spin up as the weight comes off of it and starve the outside wheel of any power. Good job though.
That Boxster is really too well balanced for this sort of thing! A regular FR would be better for learning. I love that car btw! Great fun!
Other than that, when coming out of the slide try to let your steering wheel loose, let it react by itself and correct as you give throttle. Let the car drive itself a bit you'll see that by putting in less work you'll get better results. When I realized that it helped me a lot. Cheers!
Thats awesome! I know you must of had fun. I guess this type of thing takes practice. It must be nice to have a lot of money for tires and everything else. I only say this because I figure its hell on the vehicle in every way. I drive a bimmer but I'm too chicken shit to try something like this repeatedly (enough to get good that is. ) Anyway nice car and drift.
Don't feel bad, you ain't a chicken shit for not driving your car like that. I own a Boxster S and I drive it very gingerly 95% of the time. The other 5% I push the hell out of it. You gotta do that. otherwise the car will get lazy and 'ill'
Anyway, it's a great feeling to know you got the power on tap. And even a greater feeling to know that you are driving one of the finest cars in the world.
@shayan130 Just an upadw on my03 boxster s. It over heated a week after i bought it. Turns out both heads are cracked. Repair cost.. a staggering 7000$. It's been in the shop for the past 4 months, waiting for me to find it some cheap heads or a used engine.
It is a beautiful car, but I had bad luck with it. next i'll go for S2000 only
not being critical or anything... but your transitions looked edgy... not bad for learning though... be alil more gentle coming out of the slide...i should be seeing some more vids coming from you
"be a little more gentle coming out of the slide"
would you unwind the opposite lock off a little sooner? I'm new to rear wheel drive cars and need to figure it out soonish :) Also what throttle positions do you use on entry/during/exiting the slide??
no, i wasn't critisizing your lock, but the car seems to jerk during your transistion, from slide to normal driving. instead of backing out of the gas completely, try easing of tad by tad. the car will let you know when u've come off to much.
