Phil proved that someone with real talent can manage pretty well in a cossie in those conditions, i wasnt saying it was impossible for anyone to drift my car, merely that I can do it better with more front end grip, im still very shit, but better than without the front end grip

The reason I didnt do perfect laps of interconnected corners drifting mine was a combination of all of the following:
too much power coming in too soon the second it hit boost,
not enough front end grip,
too much mechanical sympathy for the clutch form myself,
not enough talent,
not enough steering lock

That wide wheels thing is poo IMO, thats what water channels are for, if it was true LeMans cars etc would change to 175s when the rain came down, surely
Bit of an extreme example that, i could mention that they arent 12 feet wide either, its very dependant on many factors, not just width, there is NO doubt that dans had more front end grip than mine, but you were implying with your tyres comment that it didnt

My engine I couldnt care less about to be honest mate, im happy to sit bouncing it off the limiter or at high rpm etc without any consideration for it, as im building a new one anyway, this one is temporary and frankly I wish it would hurry up and die so I have the excuse I need to justify building the new one
the clutch though i would like to keep in one piece as ive no intention of changing that.
