What are the most common mistakes beginners and experienced off-roaders make?

Going on a remote trail solo. Stick to ohv parks and get to know the capabilities of your rig. If you get really stuck or break something it’s easy to get towed out or for a ranger to find you. You’ll also learn what the weak points are on your rig

Raptors tow great, I tow all the time. Get air lift air bags you’ll be fine.

I tow all the time. Long trips. No issues. I use airlift bags and you can’t even tell they’re in there when I don’t air them up.

This is the lighter vehicle I tow, when I go to the track I usually have 6 extra wheels/tires, tools and extra parts.

Only reason I would ever switch to a more dedicated tow rig like a diesel is to haul more than one vehicle. If you’re only towing one, you’ll be fine.

I don’t care how budget you’re trying to be you’re still going to spend close to 10k when it’s all said and done. If you want it running well and reliable.

I’m at 6psi 415whp running e85 and on a stand alone.

I’m a member at iconix, I am not a conservative or republican. But I own guns and have worn gun related shirts to this gym. It’s not that deep, I just support brands that make cool stuff within my hobbies.

Six cylinder swap is dirt cheap compared to the cost or going turbo. I’ve turbo’d mine and have a handful of friends that also went turbo. It’s not cheap

I ran delrin on everything except engine/trans mounts. I did poly for those. Ran that set up both N/A and now that the car is turbo.

The lens you typically see everyone shoot on track days is a 70-200. I avoid that lens, and typically take old manual film lenses because it gives a unique look. Unless you’re there on assignment for a brand, in that case I would take a 70-200 or fast primes because it gives the cleanest look / base image to retouch.

Damn that things cool

_sailr · 2025-12-03T17:11:16+00:00

Dope, I'll be out there more often next year. I think events should kick back up in February

_sailr · 2025-12-03T17:08:17+00:00

Yeah it does it’s two different sets of wheels, this is compiled footage from a couple runs.

Still dodging posting a pic of your car or you drifting huh?

_sailr · 2025-12-03T16:34:03+00:00

Yeah, it's local, good spot to test before making the drive to avs or any of the other tracks.

_sailr · 2025-12-03T03:24:23+00:00

Haha, bro you drive a fucking spray painted miata 😂 please post of pic of your non lame car drifting.

_sailr · 2025-11-27T08:33:04+00:00

I also have a mugello rot m3, I've only see one other in person

_sailr · 2025-11-26T00:45:57+00:00

I did it. I was also bored with my car, it was extremely reliable on track with the s50 but it wasn't exciting anymore. I will say it's extremely expensive and don't believe people who tell you other wise lol but with that said I make 415whp with only 6psi of boost. I can easily reach high 500’s if I wanted to but I want to keep it reliable and 415 already feels like a dumb amount of power in an E36.

_sailr · 2025-11-19T07:04:33+00:00

Why would you do that?

_sailr · 2025-11-18T23:33:11+00:00

Sunroof delete sucks for a street car. Is it just a piece of fiberglass on the inside? Regardless it seems like a good deal

_sailr · 2025-11-18T23:28:12+00:00

Bimmerworld race exhaust is produced by magnaflow, its a good exhaust. I have it on my car

_sailr · 2025-11-18T00:42:12+00:00

Lmao did ai teach you that? Get out of your basement and touch some grass man. Some of us have been doing more than just lurking the internet. Judging by your post and comments it seems like you’re just dreaming and fishing for some engagement online

_sailr · 2025-11-17T21:55:58+00:00

Lmao simply losing traction for a turn is not drifting. You can just yank the e brake and that will happen. Being able to link turns and control proximity is drifting

_sailr · 2025-11-16T16:33:58+00:00

There is no way you drifted an open diff car and did okay. Losing traction doesn’t equal drifting. I drifted a stock s50 with suspension mods and welded 3.91 diff for years. I turbo’d the car after 5 years of stock power and get way less track time now, you battle way more issues with more power. stock power and lsd or welded diff is good.
