Think you can get me and my piss weak MX5 to drift mate?

Definately... If you want Fatz will get in the car with you - get you started by body rolling the car. By the end of the day the MX5 will be doing something that resembles a drift. Either way you will have plenty of fun and get plenty of advance car control practice.

can i drift my stock auto? (its a serious question)

Auto really does not stop you doin much.. There are a few drifting autos in competition.

ahh you have been unlucky mate.

In over 30 trackdays I did

Rear Diff $500

Engine $2000

which is about $83 in damage per day :spank:

+consumables like brake pads, fluid and oil

Drifting??? Why would ANYONE drift when you could go to a nationally recognised drag racing meet andf compete.

Ghey ar$ed drifters - get over yourselves and come to a REAL motorsport :D

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
