you know when your sitting around and chatting to mates and then a light just goes off;
my mates are all tuners and drive silvees and 180's

and they asked me why didnt I give it a go?

well.. torries don't F@RKING DRIFT YOU W@~KERS!!! was my first response
and even if they did they got no hand brake

BUT

suppose you got the footbrake to work like your typical brake pedal?

you'd lose your parking brake but possible gain something no other drifter out there has... ph34r.gif

Toranas have torque, something SR20 owners have never experienced. If you cant make a Torana spin the wheels, you should sell it

no power steering makes it very hard

how are you gonna clutch in, hit hand brake, keep the revs up, clutch out with only 2 feet?

If it were auto, it doesn't work too badly.

eg: Aristo's have a foot parking brake, A mate was struggling at the track one day (it is auto afterall lol), so we held the release mechanism open, then the pedal was useable. It was very strange doing it initially, but it helped him alot, and made his day alot more fun.

If your car is manual.................. this idea will NOT work. Just kick the shit out of the clutch and throw the hell out of it. Odds are you will spin............. but lets be honest, a Torana was never designed to stop or turn.

Balls.

In its day, the Torana was pretty much seen as a race bred road going vehicle, that would hold its own against anything in the world!

Absolutely it WAS. But it is 2010 now, and in comparison to the motor vehicles of today............. they are awefully lacking to say the least.

Don't get me wrong, I love old school vehicles. However, I would never even attempt to do in a torana (or similar) what i have done in other more "advanced" motor vehicles, for the simple reason I would be dead, pinned against the concrete wall at QR/eastern creek/mallala/Oran park etc.

In short old school rocks,,,,,,,,,,,, but it needs a healthy respect for it's shortcomings.
