i went for a drive last night through the city to that racing area i posted about in another thread, i was pretty tired and i lifted the handbrake up and did abit of slide then counter-steered abit, it felt weird cause the back stayed out like the car wanted to go sideways but i wasnt going fast enough, and put the handbrake down at the wrong time and the back tires got abit of shock.
on my way home i was suspecting that i screwed up the alignment abit, when i picked up my friends today the one in the backseat said that the back wheel is buckled(i couldnt tell cause my front wheel is screwed already anyway and i havent been driving fast today)
is it cause i screwed up, or does this always happen when you do fishys, should i of swung the back to the left and right to even it out, cause i only swung the back out one way.

also i have having fun with my car lately getting the back out around corners abit :)
the back suspension is almost gone and the tires arnt really new either, so when i take a corner it has abit of oversteer if theres bumps, and its safe cause it comes out at around 40-50kmh and its imposible to lose control at that speed(i never do stuff like this in the wet.. not yet anyway)
today i was comming around a corner at 40kmh and accelerating to 50 when i had to brake in the middle of the corner (the road had a big patch of cement instead of tarmac) cause a car was comming through (it was a small road) and as soon as i broke the back came out abit, i wonder what the people think behind me when they see my car do this shit.

its not dangerous, 40kmh is 25mph, i couldnt imagine my car losing it at that speed, and the only place i fishy is in that area where theres absolutly no traffic or pedestrians, when i went there a couple of nights ago, we got sussed out by security, theres a sorta clossed off parking lot there for the navy or something(thats my guess) and i was gonna do a fishy but they were looking, so i dont think its any good for drifting.

i'm still not sure on this handbrake way of drifting
doesn't it kill your car?

well i found out it ruins the alignment, cause the wheels arnt sliding along, there being forced along.
