I'd really recommend getting a bucket seat, you want to be concentrating on the driving, not trying to stop yourself getting thrown around, same as if you can pick up a cheap harness its worth having.

I suppose the welded diff will put strain on the driveshafts rather than the belts just like on a manual car, I heard the vario acted as an LSD though but if its not locking up enough then get that thing welded, will make a lot of difference and be really predictable
Yeah, I will do that! I can always put it back on the turbocar. (turbocar will be build as a drift car, but that will take a little time for its that far.

I don't think i've enough money for bucketseat :S But it don't have to be expensive... I'll keep looking.

Welded diff put strain on the driveshafts indeed.. I don't know or they can handle that.. We will see.. About the variodiff, its like paul said, its just like a normal car.

Oh, and I really need te maintenance my car.. The front"axle" does make strangs noises, and my steeringhouse is broke.. Hehe, drifting keeps you off the street :P It's cheap, no expensive fuel wasting :P

Onboard movie... I think it does not really show how it was like.. We went all the movie sideways.. You can't really see..

Waiting for the outside movie :)

Good work mate! In that first video it looked like you could have kept going for longer if the diff hadn't opened up?

Yes, true. It is also the power wich I don't have.. But open diff is most responsible.

Yeah with it that wet i'd say it would have carried on with a welded diff :) Its a shame you can't try one with a welded diff before commiting to doing yours incase you don't like it and your stuck with it

Today, mounted a new masterbrakecilinder. What a difference! I've had 4 second hand mastercilinders before. Wich all died after a halve a year.

I now can easy lock the brakes at high speed, wich I could'nt before. Tried to make the longest tyrerubber lines on the road i'v ever done. From 120 km/h to zero with a lot of smoke... Hehe..

And another point, before, when I brake as hard as I could, without locking the wheels, the rear always started to lock. Now I can brake much harder. A stupid brake action, like above will lock the front first.

I'm very happy :P

Wich I'm not happy about, my car ran out of MOT... I didn't have the time to fix it. Will fix the steeringhouse and change 4 tyres this weekend.. Tuesday or wensday maybe new MOT. If i don't complete it comming week, ill be on holiday, and I risking a money penalty (hower you call it, its clear I think)
