Yes mate, its a 1999 VT Commodore.

u cannot drift continuously with this car bcuz it dont have a slip diff..

[voslasher]

I hate to break it to you champ, but it does :)

I just had the thing rebuilt about 3 months ago. I think it's a combination of me being a 1st timer at it and that it's an auto - it was so hard to keep speed and throttle control with it changing gears all the time :(

you got better as the day went on. now to just put that 5spd in and your sweet

[voslasher]

Yeah practise makes better :)

That 5 speed would make things easier - very hard to drift with an auto... should have seen the look on Tim's face when I said had an auto... it resembled :S

what is that a Commodore? that thing sounds nice!!

[babemokzar]

well good to see some responsibility there and actually going to a skid pad thumbs up for that, as for your drifting, your getting there, drifting auto isnt easy but it can be done, doing good mate keep up the good work, hope to see you kicking the D1 drifters in that beast of a commodore some time soon ;) (also im sure your probably aware that one of the problems was going for too much angle, either stamping on the accelerator too long or holding the E brake up a tad too long) good luck!

in that case u its the transmission =D but definately need a slip diff to drift the way u r attempting
