Powerslide Baby
Took the car out for a spin today and decided to show off a bit... There are some cool roundabouts near me where all the car modders hang out, so I
thought I would give them some BEC second gear drifting to watch....
Had a friend with me in the passenger seat, she was a little nervous (I love it when they scream lol  )...
Anyway, to cut a long story short, a quick lift is enuff to kick the back out, then a good hard kick of the loud pedal puts it nicely sideways with an
amazing ability to steer on the throttle...
It was a contest to see whether I could hold the slide longer than the girl could hold the scream...
YEAH BABY

TBH it would be hard to beat a girl at screaming on just one roundabout...
So yes I lost, but I was still a winner...

Yeah, they are okay for that... but something is clicking when I go around right hand bends or roundabouts...
Need to fathom that out...

Yes it seems worse under load, and I think it is a CV joint...
Looks like the easiest repair will be a replacement half shaft...
Thats second hand diffs for you eh

bit unlucky really most parts from sierras are pretty robust
( although did the shafts come from the car that had rolled with the engine )

Looks like the cossie CV joints run about £75 a pop...
If I can work out which one is shot, then should be an ok fix
