Oh yeah, gotta love the rain. I thought mine skidded well with an open diff, but once it's locked it's a whole different story. :)

lol @ roundabout. Wait until you end up facing the cars that were behind you! (Not cool!) On said private road of course. :lol:

why ben? i think the cvt is even more fun for drifting; tossing with the back of the car to get a proper slide, cool as f*ck!

it even has it's own build-in rpm limiter and you're never in the wrong gear :lol: !!

My mate's got one spare from when he had his GLT but I think I'm gonna have it off him for incase (when) I obliterate mine. lol. Will let you know if you're still not sorted. Weld your own IMO. If you CBA or whatever though that one Jay is selling would post for a tenner though.

Ben, he can't go to Lon-don. New road isn't finished yet.

Hi mate.
Your working fast there. Not into the drift thing but 300s are perfect for it.
I have seen a few on u tube and they look spot on, its just not for me.
Cheers Mark. sm4
