Awh thats **** haha. Oh well, you should get someone to follow you or something, or put a camera on the outside for videos of you drifting from the outside.

skavenger · 05-03-14, 20:22

If a rear bumper is the only collateral damage the VLT suffered, you should be thankful haha. Looks pretty decent compared to our Holdens/VLT's trying to drift out there.

Been out there in anything else before?

cool... tell us a bit more on how you have the car setup.

skavenger · 06-03-14, 17:54

Only my 2nd time out mallala both times in the vl. Got away with 0 damage the first time lol i did a track day at tailem last year and car went from a nice streeter to stripped out as soon as i got home

Cars got coilovers i made up for the front and have converted the rear to take heavier coilover springs, hydro handbrake, Whiteline 30mm front sway bar and 22mm rear, tower braces front and rear and just rebushed throughout.

Cool vid mate, you gotta get some go pro(s) on that thing. On the rear quarters facing backwards. :-) good to see some one doing this stuff on the track instead of public roads too.

Nice video and photos mate, it's good to see a VL drifting... something different!

calaist5 · 07-03-14, 13:59

Cool video, never have really liked drifting.

However after watching this, seems like a vl does a decent effort with the right driver.
