Well Karan definately knows about drifting. It is funny to me though becuase I have always though it had a longish wheelbase considering the other dimensionsMoofles wrote:i don't really know how it compares to other cars, i am actually reciting info that karan mentioned once when i was asking him about how easy it is to drift an e30...he mentioned that the short wheelbase doesn't help. No-one else has said anything though, i don't think it's short enough to make people complain!
. I wouldn't call my 323i snappy, although I usually only have it sideways when I am racing on dirt and it probably lets go a bit slower on dirt. I also don't have my suspension as low or probably as stiff as Karan's and I only have the standard ARBs.Aston

I have been reading the various threads going around about wheel sizes and must say that i wouldn't move my 15" bbs from where they are not 9in my car), it appears to be general consesus that anything too far from it will worsen the handling...
... and I would prefer mine to hendle the best possible regardless of the estetic point of view. Although bbs look awesome anyway !
