THE_Liam's Mercedes thread - New Benz!

Never gonna happen, its a f*cking stupid and dangerous thing to do. Plus, drifting bores me. Don't get the recent craze for it, my old man was doing that in a 3 litre Capri in the 80's except then it was just called "dicking about".

Exactly, don't fancy having a dick about?

Yeah but I can do that now and again with an open diff, without making the car shit to drive normally and dangerous. What if a lump of weld breaks off and jams the diff halfway through a bend on the motorway at 70mph? To be fair people act like it's impossible to slide a car with an open diff, which it isn't. People will do anything to fit in with the crowd, that's part of the reason I dislike "drift culture".

Easy tiger, no drift culture has been mentioned. Simply enquiring about your fine differential my friend! (Insert pipe smoking old man emoji here).

Honestly, the amount of "BAD-PRESS" welded diff's have is down to d*ck heads doing shitty welds on them and the fact "my mate said it drove like shit" is simply not the case.

It's barely dangerous, even in a 280BHP 200SX it never skips out unintentionally.

Unless you've had one, you can't really say it's shit, dangerous, impractical, pointless etc.

Moving on, "I heard XUD's blow rod's if you change the turbo".
