    yea its not worth trying to drift, especially in these cars, im not expert driver but i found out the hard way that these cars dont drift very well if not at all. Occasionally ill give it a bit of a flick, but not more!

    Speaking of going sideways, Middleborough Road freeway onramp corner yesterday + rain + visible oil slick + 80kmph + NO throttle = holy **** I was NOT expecting that! I was ****ting myself trying not to let the commodore over-correct itself, meanwhile my girlfriend didn't even CARE that we were at a 90 degree angle to the road... she thought I meant to do it! lmao

    But You're probably looking in the vacinity of $300 all up to fix it if you're lucky. If you can find a wreckers that fit and install, that would be the place to go. But yeah... If you try and drift anything on public roads you're going to ***k it up sooner or later. Even pros get it crossed up all the time. Just be glad you didn't hit another car, or a person.

    Cheers.

    Haha, yeah, that always seem to be the way. The passenger pretty much always sits there blissfully ignorant of what just happened. It's like "Holy cool can you do that again?"

    Why were you trying to drift a stock commodore?
