Just saw the video, and boy do you need better tires and a better driver. Have you considered rally school? Some of those "drifts" were actually pretty slow. Remember, you want to get it straight as possible on the exit, you only want to be pointing to the apex in the turn. If you do it perfect, you don't need to correct yourself much.

Edit: I didn't mean it was a bad video, it was pretty good and had some good driving (particularly the s-curve, which you did well). You should call it"Evo gettin' CRUNK!"

oh yeah no doubt westside. i know how the turns are supposed to be. sometimes things just dont turn out to be how you want it to be. i try to go for speed and not flash drifts but practice makes perfect. but considering ive only had experience with tarmac, i think im doing pretty well for the two weeks of play ive had in the dirt. this is all new to me.

i have tried searching for rally events, but with no avail. i would like to hone my skills but that just takes practice on my part.

it was all in fun and i had fun. i just wanted to post something other than the usual style pics and road pics we see.

the underside isnt too bad i dont think. i havent seen it since this footage was shot. but a couple weeks ago it was really muddy out there. messed around for a while and the next day i lifted up the car. man it was a mess. but i washed it all off to the best of my abilities.

Nice post. I use to do alot of camping up there, 4-wheeling in the trucks. I'll have to take a weekend ride up that way and get the Evo dirty. Louisiana's ****y roads already took a toll on my paint job what the hell. I just finished watching this weekends WRC makes me want to get the Evo dirty. Maybe I could look you up to show me some good trails.
