i want to know how to drift

[blumagic04]

sometimes when i am in my car, I just want to sometimes pull my e brake up but my car isn't lowered yet. but if anyone knows how to please teach me......
also tell me what i have to do to modify my car to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tdurr]

wrong place to ask. U will get bashed.
but get a spare set of rims/tires, and find a drift day. dgtrials.com, SEDA.com, and other sites like that would be a good start.
btw, it helps to have a 5speed, and lsd.

[Turbd4DE]

This may help a little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBWRO0TlCn4

road race type suspensions work very well on stangs too...alot of guys bringing stangs to the events at turner field :2cents:

Extra tires and a empty run-down parking lot away from everything.

[blumagic04]

thanks guys

[Thighs]

im surprised theres not any hxc n00b bashing going on yet. thats not a abd thing though.

just get some old shitty tires and a BIG empty parking lot, and go at it. it helps to have a 5 speed. since you arent using it for anything competitive, id say just get some aftermarket lowering springs and better shocks, adjustable if the budget allows. set the dampening neutral f/r and go play around. but dont be surprised if you get in some trouble. haha. be smart and dont do it on the street, endangering other peoples lives is never good. most cops wont really give you a hard time as long as youre doing it in a relatively safe place.

[Elbow]

Go to an event, lots of people will help you.

I find e-brake drifting the hardest lol...

Really, flick the car, a little Scandinavian flick will do the trick, mess yup the weight distribution, and throw the car. Don't use too much hand input, let the steering wheel slide in your hands, when you are sideways getting on the brakes will add some more angle, be easy with the throttle and learn. SPIN OUT A LOT, find the limit of your car in a safe environment, spin out all day at a DG Trials event or something.

[Atlblkz06]

e-brake drifting is the easiest I thought?

I use it whenever I have to make a tight U-turn lol Come in with a little speed, yank that thing and make a 20 foot radius turn :)

[OneSlow5pt0]

just powerslide,if i can do it in my slow mobile im sure u can........e brakes are for cars without TQ,lol

[Thighs]

^^ no, e brakes are for instant angle.

another thing i might add, doing it in the rain or when the pavement is wet will make it easier/cheaper to learn. dry pavement isnt as forgiving as wet.

[Doppelgänger]

lol.... play lots of Initial D and you'll be a pro drifter... or just swap in a SR20DET and get some TEIN suspension... those also make you instant drifting sensation.

[Echonova]

Although you have to keep a close eye on your car when Race Wars comes around. Those engines pull a premium the week before.

i lirl

[DunDunSkeert]

Practice makes perfect. Go find a large open parking lot and practice when its wet. My friend used to drift his 2004 mustang gt everywhere. I wouldn't worry about your suspension until you figure it out. But definitely upgrade cause those have more body roll than my moms minivan. Also I wouldn't recommend e-braking my friend would always power over. Chances are your e-brake doesn't work good enough to lock them up anyway but if that is the case and you must e-brake quickly jab the brake as you yank the e-brake.
To sum this up there's no wax on wax off way to learning it, you learn by doing it.

[_Christian_]

lmao

[MongolPup]

Despite what the Fast and the Furious would like you to think, pulling the e-brake is NOT the easiest way to drift. It is however the easiest way to lose control of the car. The line between those two things is sorta blurred though haha

[Elbow]

Yeah in the wet you learn a LOT, and don't have to try as hard, plus it doesn't equal as much wear and tear.

As for the e-brake thing true, it's useful on u-turns lol, or to quickly initiate the drift, but I find in MY car a quick faint and brake dab is just as simple. Obviously that varies car to car.

[MongolPup]

Well it's raining today and the OP's little light isn't on.....hmm.

[Apollo]

you serious, a idiot can drift

[MongolPup]

you serious, a idiot can drift

An idiot can lose control of a car and murk shit, actual drifting is a whole different thing.

[Doppelgänger]

I wish I knew how to drift :(

[MongolPup]

As do I.

[Thighs]

i tried to learn, but my oil pan said no.

[Doppelgänger]

who wants to teach me to drift?

I don't have a SR20, but I do have a turbo...and I might not have the all-mighty TEIN suspension.... but I have this suspension that I got off ebay and I think it's called "Ohlins" or something junky like that...

[Elbow]

You suck at it anyway.

[Thighs]

god youre cool. i wish i had so much cool shit and bragged about it all the time, damn id be awesome. right?

LOL I have sigs turned off, I thought you had a VW. I was confused as hell until I clicked on your profile.

:yes:

well all i gotta do is turn the wheel little bit and give gas,and i slide..

thats instant anough for me.

You'd probably outdo him...real talk.

I can't let a friend drive around with junky parts... I'll take your old suspension (just to make sure you don't put those sub-standard parts back on your car) and I'll get you these... They're D2 FULL RACING COILOVERS!!! Which has to mean they are better than that shit they use in D1 cars.

lol @ how to drift

get a rwd car manual with 300+ whp with a damn good suspension, find a big open area, go 60mph, downshift and cut the wheel and voila, your sideways...

now after 2 trannys, 2 diffs, and 20 sets of tires you might be ok at it

[OneSlow5pt0]

u dont need a manual or that much power........lol

[RL...]

u dont need a manual or that much power........lol

I've never seen a successful/nice drift with anything other than a manual and nothing less than 300whp...but then again I don't keep up with the sport or anything so I'll take your word for it

there's a difference between spinning tires for a moment, losing traction, and making your car turn sideways than a drift...

lol just playin but I'll have to see it to believe it!!!:cheers:

[Elbow]

LOL@ needing 300whp, my car has like 115

[Black4DrEK]

go to 'barnes and noble' and get the book that teaches you how to drift. it is very detailed and will tell you EVERYTHING!!!!!

They also have books on SOLO racing and shit like that ... i have the Solo racing one and it is GREAT

[Deke]

ew, people still drift?

[ubers2k]

Go out to FYE and place an order for the Drift Bible. Watch that shit and pay attention to everything on the vid. It'll explain what mods and how much power is really needed to initiate a drift, as well as different styles of pedal work and shifting techniques.

[Atlblkz06]

Torrent a video called "Best Motoring International SE - Drift Bible". Its kinda large (700mb) but its a really cool video.

Clutch kick? Watch a 240 with a good driver drift and you'll change your mind.

and pretty soon youll get to use many gay phrases

"SLIDE OR DIE AGHHHHHHH" -or- "TANDEM DRIFT " -or- "These are my drift toys".

I agree with you though, the whole "culture" thing is quite annoying. They think they're the shit.

WHERE THE FUKS MY NAAWS?!?!?!

[DVSRX-7]

if you have a 5speed try clutch kicking and power over drifts. those came pretty easy to me. as for the e-brake.. not as much. faint drifts are pretty easy as well

like everyone stated before me just go out to a huge parking lot (to avoid damage) and spin out a couple of times and then try to control the spin out after you get usto it, you'll see your practice will be helping you out.

Just try to get as much seat time as you can, because practice just enhances your skills that much more.. GL and be safe

p.s. Try not to harm the streets innocent people dont have to get injured or die because of your ambition to learn, find a safe spot and do it away from people

Watch this documentary. It should give you the basics.

Step 1: Punch Gas
Step 2: Turn while wheels are spinning
Step 3: dont go off the road

[atlxpat]

if you have a fwd car then just put it in reverse, but if you have awd...well i havn't thought of a clever quip about that.
