Hi everybody!
How about a discussion about some driving tips when you want to have a little fun in the winter time- with respect to the rules of the road and other's personal property, and overall safety of yourself and others in mind, it can be possible to have a lot of fun while maintaining legal speed limits in a Quattro in the snow. How about everyone share some tips?
I know something I need help with is getting a proper drift started. There is a road near town that is 35mph speed limit, but has two sections of two 90 degree turns so it's a perfect place to practice. Other than using the e-brake, I have a hard time getting the rear end to come out unless I start really slow, start making the turn and then apply throttle. Other times mid-corner I can sometimes get it going by using a combination of more throttle and left-foot breaking. Otherwise trying to start the drift while moving a little faster (aka sorta like a Scandinavian flick, starting the drift before the turn) just results in the front end plowing.
I'm piloting a 1990 CQ, it does have a rear swaybar and is currently equipped with snow tires. Perhaps rig the rear diff lock and try again?
Thanks for the pointers!
Brendan
