After reading the now closed "body roll" topic I just want to add that I can make my 94 SSII JDM 2.0 Celica (3sge) drift around a round-a-bout (these simplify big junctions in the uk)...
I was doing about 20mph driving like miss daisy in third gear barely touching the acceleration and my back end came right out whilst on a 2/3 lock of the wheel to the right.... It came out so bad I drifted the last 1/3 of the round-a-bout off to my exit... very cool and extremely scary....any doubters and I will take you for a spin myself (if you live near of course) and er prove it... Any I was defo driving carefully because the missis was in the car... I have had the front shocks changed and the anti roll bar bushes since, also waiting for the cv joints to be changed,.. I can still make it do it but have to work harder now. just for the record. Cheers J |

Some interesting facts in those replies. It could of potentially been the front wheels sliding then the back just followed. But the first time it happened the rear did come out (since then I have had the rear toe and thrust line corrected).
Bulldog, thought it may have been oil, gravel or something on the road, but before I had the adjustments it did it on any road (if it was atleast damp and it was a right turn). I tried to recreate the problem the other day and again at quite a low speed again far right exit on a different roundabout it seemed the road turned to glass, because I was expecting this it was corrected quickly but the back end did NOT come out this time the whole car just slid. So I guess that was the rear toe. This has only happened when turning right, and its nothing to do with speed, its to do with how far I turn the wheel. It seems a lot easier to turn to the right, than to the left. And when turning to the left I have really pushed it and she sticks like glue. I'm not trying to pi$$ anyone off btw, this is for mine and my familys safety in the car, nothing to do with anyones sanity... Oh and dont doubt my love for the car please. (she might hear you).
