    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!!!

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

    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.

    Says the guy who worships VTEC?
    I agree with you though, the whole "culture" thing is quite annoying. They think they're the shit.

    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
    Peek-a-boo mofucka what now?!
