The floor is made of wood, but I don't know what wood. Just a normal wood plates, no wax, but may be a little dusty because I and my wife haven't cleaned for 3-4 days. lol. But you know here in Japan, we don't put on shoes in our house, so it's clean enough.

One can translate "Drift king" into "Dorihuto O"(the last "O" be pronounced a lil longer) in japanese. "Dorihuto" means the drift, "O" means a king. Hope this helps.

Video with my hands. haha. I don't want to, because I know what I am. I think I'm a worse (if not the worst!) driver here in Japan. So I'm not in a position to teach you. There should be millions of better drifters than me if they had xmods. They have incredible technique to drive. But unfortunately, the xmods are still rare in Japan... Soon appears more precise and awesome videos when xmods are released in Japan, I guess.

I was wondering if you could change the format of one of those movies into a .MOV file. I have a macintosh and quicktime works very easily for me... I would really like to see the drifting but unfortunately macs can't play WMV files... if u can't re-format it, it's ok, I'll juss wait until someone comes out with a MOV. thanx

Hi rg96819. Sorry for inconvenience. I know that prob, since I have both win and mac. But I don't know any application which can convert a wmv file into a mov file. If someone let me know, I'd love to do. The windows media player for mac may play the file. So rg96819, try it if you have time. Thanks.

I talked about the tutorial video to my wife, and she said I should do if I can help someone. So I'll post it later.

i can't wait for the Video!!!!!!

i can't wait to see it either, i think drifting is moybe the coolest kind of driving, maybe even the greastest ever made, it takes so much skill but i can do it, well i like to think i'm the king but that's just for my self esteem, well thatnks for the vids, i hope to see the tutorial one, oh and you're really good, don't be modest

just tried a new setup based on yours with my skyline on my rough tile floor. worked really well. I think moving the batteries really helped the most. Only thing i did different was flip the tires around (front-stocks, rear-hard treads) and I kept the blue springs in back, yellow in front setup. Thanks for the videos!

ikinari · #24 12-05-2003, 10:51 AM

I've just made the video.

EDIT: rg96819, this time the file is mov, made by mac.

EXCELLENT, I LOVE YOU!!!! but ur a pro at that, good thing you had it in slo-motion. Your hands are so fast, and I couldnt keep my eyes on your car and your hands. Good video tutorial and tips. I would like to see some more, but I dont want to ask for too much. I got what I wanted, now I'm happy.

Shiporu desu. I have to go back to Hokkaidou. So I will bring my Civic and maybe we can meet in Japan. I know that Hokkaidou is far from Honshu (main Japan) but I get to go to Kyoto once a month. Soredewa, mata ne...

ikinari · #28 12-05-2003, 10:45 PM

Yeah I'm surprised I'm doing much more than what I notice of. Thanks for you everyone giving me a occasion of a reflexion.

I know the video is not enough, so I made a commentary on it, so that you may understand what it means more clearly. I hope it helps. Vist my webpage again if you have time.

thanks, for that commentary, i had to watch the video six times to figure out the drift technique you use, but i just like to break the tires traction with a brake to full throttle technique just like in a go cart.

ikinari · #30 12-06-2003, 12:47 AM

Thanks maikeru, I guess you don't need the tutorial

. BTW, what I use is what you says "brake to full throttle". You think what's the difference?

I said "wait for the desired angle", but it's a few milliseconds, I guess. So I guess you're doing the same thing, since in order to draw enough rotation inertia, some rotation must have begun before the powerdrift by the full throttle.

Hi shiporu, nice japanese speaker.

Unfortunately, I live in Kyushu ("The Nine States"

), the oppsite side of Hokkaido...
