No More drifting

[nate23232323]

okay so i went out with sum friends and we saw a big open parking lot (wet from lots of rain) so we went drifting.... after abot 30 min of drifting (ripping the e-brake) my abs and brake light on my dash came on... scratching my head cuzz i dnt kno awhole lot about the brake system... i proceed to drive home after about 10 min it turns off.

PS
also recently its been sorta cold and wenever i take off from a stop my brake light comes on for the duration of my exceleration.. then turns off.

[trdmsprts27]

Speed sensor was probably freaking out from the wheels spinning fast without going anywhere -- you should be fine. Same thing can happen on a dyno.

If it goes on and off intermittently at other times it could be a bad sensor or low fluid.

Without opening up a whole pointless discussion, you can get any car to slide in a controlled manner if you know what you are doing, it's just much harder to do it in an underpowered FF car relative to an overpowered FR car.

Drifting: refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa), and the driver is controlling these factors. As a motor sport, professional drifting competitions are held across the world.

That you where not doin. Key quote in all of this, "while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed" key factor, "while maintaining HIGH EXIT SPEED"

Therefore you where not drifting. You where just sliding. There should be a pet peeve thread started bc this is mine, people callin things names bc it sounds cool to them.

But hey on a positive note, good lookin Celi, looks like mine minus the wheels.
