How was the first event sliding the Lex?

yeah, i'm curious what you think considering you started with a super light car (86) then moved to a middle weight (240), and now you're def. in teh heavyweight division. do you have to start slides earlier and let the weight carry you, or is it the opposite where that weight bleeds off speed faster? hows the distribution f/r in the lex? sorry for all the questions, i think drifting is fascinating and i've never heard direct feedback from anyone in a car that big.

glad to see its out there smokin 'em Blair! :thumbup:

its much different than either car for sure.. the corolla (AE86) was light, well balanced but wayyy underpowered. surprisingly it is common knowledge that the 86 is hard to drift and if you can drift that you can drift anything. the 240 had massive amounts of power and is known as training wheels cause its just so damn easy to control and drift. the lex on the other hand is heavy as hell. once you get the car to slide it just wants to whip around with all the weight you just broke loose.. the first few runs i looped it many times. each car just takes getting use to and are all very different. i started to get it down pretty well. the small tires out back helped compared to the wide sticky tires i run on the street. wish i had some more steering angle and seats that actually held me in place.. those are my only complaints. it was nice having something completely different in the sea of 240's and 86's

cool man...how is it power wise? any major complaints or will other things come before that?

i had always thought 86s were relatively easy with the solid axle/skinny tire thing going on....now i know, and knowing is half the battle....

its slow and heavy.. lucky this parking lot was slicker than ICE and made my 200 ho feel like 400 hahahah
