Reputaution adds point to a member, which adds to your reputation and helps to promote to a Honored member post.

Amateur rank changes to professional, once an individual crosses 1000 post mark & not through reputation.

@Raj_5004: Coincidentally i started sneezing from the dust of video, jokes apart.

That was a great video, in sand i guess he was in 4WD low.
Is Safari a full time 4WD or on demand?

@Rahul: Any such offroading planned?

 

[raj_5004]

Safari is an on demand 4WD with electronic transfer, as in Scorpio. Yes, he should be in 4WD low mode.

Yes i took it for first service . you guys might think me stupid but i made them change engine oil reason i want smooth safari like my friend can't wait for second service . After engine oil change safari is butter smooth . if i compare it with 3.0 its like comparing car with tractor
so things i made them do except there regular service ya i know you all will call me stupid

engine oil
gear oil
check whole electric wire ( in my old safari some wire had problem in early stage so didn't wanted to take chance )
engine protection coating + silencer coating (my old safari used to look like some old rusted pipe so)
polishing(worst mistake )
so in the end bill was around 6k if i hadn't got all these thing done then bill would had been zero

about mileage before service it was around 8 . now after first service it gave me 11.45 full tank method only city sorry haven't checked highway properly using full tank way

Yes master any long trips planned?

hmm well 3 himachal factory trip and 2 rajasthan trip does they come in long trip ?

indeed but before that its leh trip atleast what i think but you never know

Safari is an on demand 4WD with electronic transfer, as in Scorpio. Yes, he should be in 4WD low mode.

i thought we can't drive more 5km/h speed in 4WD low

Congrats on your buy. Please post some interior pics also

thanks. will sure post


BTW guys safari has completed 3100

 

[raj_5004]

I am sorry! What I meant was he must be in 4WD HIGH!

 

[mastersquall]

np
I was surprise because sticker on windshield say not to drive above 10km/h speed 4wd low and in video it was faster then 10. so I got confused hehe

@Friends:
The stunts you have seen in the video are not done on the 4WD low,why?Because such speeds are simply not possible in low ratios,and yes if you get these speeds in low then due to higher gear,the drifting is not possible.
Actually I know how to drift and also I love drifting the cars(Check out ACI forum,there I have been many times scolded for promoting the same)and what I know from my Safari experience is that:

Firstly:I am sure those are not purely stock cars in the video,they are rally sped modded cars whose rear seats etc have been removed for light rear portion,more powerful engine and other mods.

Here is one drifting technique,any of you Safari owners car try this in ground or loose sand covered surfaces:
Put the car in 3rd gear,and switch off the 4WD,now run it on 35 kph(15 kph when in 2nd gear,this will give fantastic results but dangerous too,10 kph in first gear,this will make the car simply move in a circle)on a loose surface and then press the clutch and accelerator both to the floor,now leave the clutch and partially accelerator(in this the rpm won't fall below 2500),press the front brake with a jerk and suddenly press the accelerator again by slight turnings on the steering(like zig-zag driving)and then tell me what you have done with your Safari.
While in the low,you can make those rings turning the car in circles(I was always failed in doing this)..
I have told you the procedure,now its upon you how you do it..but try it once please.

Warning:
1)Don't try this on roads.
2)The surface must be either loose soil(not more than 2-3 inches deep).
3)Never try this on Scorpio or other UVs,this trick is for Safari only because it has spikey power delivery,for linear ones,the trick is different.
4)While on loose sand like in deserts,don't engage hand-brakes for making drifts else your car will simply overturn.

@vipul those are stock cars only they have removed only rear tire that's all .

also for doing round thing . you just need to loose sand area and drive safari in first gear only and turn volla you are doing that 360 stuff already tried on my 3.0 safari works perfectly on it

 

[ilango[speed thirst]]

A cant be driven in crawling gear , 4l is for low.

you could do some speed at 4H , but not advisable , 4H suited best to drive in marshy and beach roads.

4L in case of really stuck up case.



Loose soil makes drifting easy that is it.
Drifting can be done in regular roads too , but avoid doing so because even a highway is bad , so good road will surely have traffic hehe.


Drifting need just one simple thing , that is power delivery with sudden increase at the rear wheels , which is adjusted by the steering to get it out of the line , and then slip on continuously .

For a demo in good road , any sponsors for new tyres?

@Mastersquall:
Read my post again,you will find the mention of first gear in the bracket and that round circle too.
Still I can bet that those are not fully stock.Have you ever tried that circle thing?

@Ilango:Guy tell us if its possible for a stock Safari to do this?I am not ready to believe this..

@Ilango:
+1
What I have told with the technique,you gave the theory of the same practical.I hope now everyone will understand.

My question:
Which sedan are you going to drift on the road(because SUVs overturn on road drifting)?
FWD or RWD?(actually only RWDs drift,FWDs just skid)
How do you deliver the power and balance,also the locking and leaving of wheels?tell me your technique,then I'll tell mine for RWD sedans and FWD sedans.
Do you drift hatches too?

 

[ilango[speed thirst]]

The video , i hope its in 2wd drive mode.
only in desert sand they must have used 4wd that too in stuck condition , not in the video i suppose.

Regarding the drifting part.

Drifting can be done only in a rear wheel drive , not in a fwd cars
What is done in fwd is power slide.

The technique is to throw the rear to the side you want to drift , usually i am practiced to turn left , so the rear wheel go in right side.

There must be sudden power delivary. just drive 2nd gear and turn the steering to left and seconds later just press the accelerator hard .

Some times driving in 3rd , down shift to 2nd and at same time pop the clutch with pressing the pedal.


Suv's in roads may feel to overturn , just need to control with steering , too much of left in this case while drifting leaves the world upside down for sure.

doing in gravel/ loose sand is best.

For drift and drive as shown in the video the answer is in the video itself.
the steering must be taken care of the direction in which the car needs to move , the rear will fish gate!

I did try in our omni , you feel as if my left is going to take off , but my friends video capturing them proved that the tyres are indeed in the road , from there after i keep drifting when ever there is a chance.

Sedans increase the safety feeling inside you. heck no moderately priced sedan in the market .

For fwd , the theory is same , all you need is good speed and good hand brake.
pull them at the right time as well as turn your steering .

fwd cars will be fun to do in reverse gear , i have tried , but lack of proper place made it not wort to mention and sold out the estilo too , no donors to check them!
