Wow! What the crap?

This is a clip of the '06 STi drifting. I'm not smart enough to know why the driver is able to get it sideways so easily, but that's normally due to the fact that I'm not very smart.

of course your smart enough!

anyway. since the 05+ STI's will be coming with "suretrack" front and rear it makes it if you could say this easier to have the car do that. It also looks like the ground could be a little moist (wet) however you want to put it. All I know is that when I swapped the JDM STI rear end into my car the car was VERY VERY VERY easy to get the back end to swing out and get sidewards after it rained and the ground was wet (just enough to loose grip)...

now imagine if you have suretrack in the front and rear and just a little bit of wetness to loose grip on and you'll go sidewards.

very cool though... hopefully the "kiddies" won't get a hold of this video and start trying to do it! of course if you don't know what the hell you're doing you'll **** **** up!

not so good... had to remove the cool drivetrain bits due to drivability issues. also had to remove my rear hubs and brakes (sucks *** now)

hopefully I'll be getting money so I can continue.. got a power train waiting for me (hopefully I'll be able to fly up there and leak test it first)

So why'd you have to remove them? Which parts are you talking about? Fly up there? Are you off island?

So, essentially all '06's are going to be that easy to drift? I bet that it will still be some substantial wear and tear on the driveline.

because the front and rear drive ratios are different

front is 4.11 rear is 3.95

I had the STI drive shaft/R180/Rear Axles/Rear Brakes on the car now I'm forced to go back to the stupid WRX rear end/Rear Axles/Rear Brakes

I'd imagine if you know what you're doing that they'd be "easy" to drift... however the STI likes to go into a turn "HOT" so you'll have to be VERY experienced with the STI and driving a Suretrack AWD system before attempting to recreate what was in the video...
