Title: Newbie from Devon
Post by: robinxr4i on 28 October 2010, 21:47:06

Hi I'm Robin, I've just brought an M-reg 2.5 manual Omega it's a clean straight car with FSH picked it up for £570 and tbh I'm really enjoying it.

Hope I don't get shot for this but I'm going to use it for Drifting (or trying to drift) I've owned several Sierras, an E30 and a Volvo 360 which I've all used for skidding. I just not a fan of Japanese car lol! Good to look at but painful on the wallet lol.

Thanks Robin

Hi there. Nope, cant see anyone on here not being supportive of your drifting ideas. Perfect to car to do it, really. It may be 'sacrilegious' to do that to a top-spec facelift, but on a cheap n cheerful M reg, I think it's a fantastic thing to see a 16-year old car doing! Best of luck, I imagine you'll be after an LSD then?

I'm not after an LSD lol, that's a bit posh for me. I removed the original diff and got a mate to weld it up. A welded diff is far more reliable and preditable than an LSD, plus it's cheaper and requires no special maintainance.
