Making my car more drift friendly with the help of Will Barnette

[brunocobratt]

So my plann was to learn to drift with my cobra and then buy a nissan 240 or a fox body mustang just for drifting, but the reality is i dont have a place to put another car or the money to spend on another car right now, so i decided to make my car easier to drift for now and than later see what i will do, Will just sent me these pics, cant wait to pick it up and try it at the skip pad
Mods are:
Hidralic hand brake,
Welded spindles and cooling mod
Thanks alot Will cant wait to try it :driving:

Says the guy with the unoriginal go fast in a straight line car. :burn:

brunocobratt - big props for doing something really different. I can't wait to see some more vids of your car in action. Especially with the increased steering angle!:banana:

Some people's kids...

Cars that people learn to drift in normally end up in pretty bad shape after a few months..... I would suggest just going ahead and getting the 240 and raggin that out instead of such a nice car, then when your get better you can slide the cobra.. Just my 2 cents.

ahhh, i was so close to getting an hydro handbrake for my car to make it easier for certain corners.

So what all did he do with the spindles, just extend them alittle? a good hand brake plus more steering angle= soooo much easier.

Thanks for the advise, but i am not going to wait anymore, the place that i drift is a open place with only cones to hit, not a track, i would not go to a track with my cobra

Being completely honest and not sarcastic: I would love to see a beaten and drifted 04 held together by zip ties. I love drift missiles, an 04 would be badass. :rockon:

[XHIRL8N]

do what you want with YOUR car man. looks pretty fun to me. inwould probably have a car for this if I had a place to drive it nearby. its not like drag racing a car doesn't beat it op and tear it up, and that's perfectly acceptable.

more vids soon please

 

[DVJ38]

Props for being different, have some fun and post vids!

 

[03 DSG Snake]

You're going balls deep now. Definitely some legit mods.

Have fun and I'm looking forward to the videos from your next trip out. Keep it up :rockon:

Props to you for stepping outside of box and doing something with YOUR Cobra that YOU enjoy doing. Looking for to your next video and also looking forward to you making some other owners cringe with every video you post.
