yea it gets sideways easily with a touch of throttle

needs some extra low rpm grunt tho, so when the headgasket goes i will tickle the head and throw on a set of extractors i got here, and tune it some more

we will b goin back soon for more

cheers

Funny how that water makes ya wanna get out for a piss half way hey!

One thing about twin cams is that awesome note they put out. Stands out from the regular cars and ya know it's a twin cam way off in the distance.

Dunno what tyres ya have on it but maybe a nice set of 205/50R15 Advan A048 might find that extra control you are wanting. Street legal race tyres.

Loving it! I can't get enough of twincam Gems sideways, it's not every day you get to see it. Definitely keen to get vids of any other adventures you have in that car!

You held a few really nice slides there, a few you lost it on but hey, practise makes perfect and you're doing pretty good. As an open diff warrior I'm sure I'd just spin everywhere if I tried with an LSD. I'm not sure if you worked the handbrake much but it's awesome, especially mid-drift if you're gaining too much speed, or a quick yank on entry to kick it out and then let inertia do the rest...

Would love to see better quality video, or even chase cam or something (not sure if that'd be practical though). Once again, nice work!!

One thing youll learn Eli is this - once you step into a limo-equipped car, youll scratch your head and wonder how you ever swung a single spinner. I went from the Gemini to the 200sx [from 45rwkw to 180rwkw] and man, it took all of 10seconds to get used to it and be able to swing the coont 5 or 6 ways going straight no drama.

Heh, yeah, it's made me almost want to go LSD (Locked Standard Diff) in the daily... But I like to at least pretend I'm not driving a bucket of shit, so I've held off so far
