hey guys .

getting my car back pretty soon ... got my licence back and now being on the new stupid p-plate laws means that i cant drive my 4agte sprinter ... anyways in the next week or so .. it will a na 4age .

just wondering if anybody has drifted on 15inch rims ... ive done it in my sprinter when it was turbo'ed but how hard will i need to work the car to get it spinning on a smallport 4age???

more speed and balls .... me thinks:DD

????

ive drifted in a 20v NA with 16's with 3.3 diff gears.
wasn't that hard.
give it a go and tell us how it goes with the 15's

i slide my na big port on 15's all day every day no issuse i think max front grip is the key other wise under steer+.....

if u struggle just pic up few second hand low grip rubbes prac on some and leave the other out to dry out for few weeks and you'll be away no worries :D

fairly sure it will be the same as it is here in QLD.

if you lose it while on your P's but you had your P's before the new laws,

when you get it back again you count as if you only just got your P's i.e all/most of the restrictions/curfues now apply.

OP: "more speed and balls" - spot on!

the smaller the wheel radius the easier to spin, ie putting 17' on a ke70 stock would NEVER HAPPEN!!!

i have 15' on my ke70 with a board out 4k and it slides in the dry alright

The above is so true!! And if your diff isn't locked be very very careful of the "Single Spinner Of DEATH"
But yes, my bigport 71 turns the 15's fine.

thanks all, about the licence thing .. i should of been more accurate.. dissqualified .. so i now fall under the new laws ... blah blah blah ...

to thu187 - no my 4agte is a 4agze bigport, now collecting dust in my garage until i get my fulls. i have put in a fresh smallport.
