Was told you need a LSD to be able to drift properly as you will never be able to hold the slide without it?

heh......not at all. Was told that after it started to slide the inside wheel will spin and lose all the power so it would straighten out anyway. Im actually really looking forward to giving this a go. Have been taking the piss out of my mates for not learning when they have RWD cars.

Just gotta wait for some rain now. winkeye

Haha, loving that video, even had a few Opels in it :D

Started out in RWD in an 1800 Opel Manta (90 bhp at the fly 63bhp at the wheels and an open diff :lol: ) But it taught me how to handle a RWD, now in the 320i when in the snow, did i have so much fun :twisted:
BMW and Opel, both RWD, both german, both good fun

It's very do-able with an open diff but to make it easy, get a cheap short diff and turn into a migdiff 8)
