Drifting is fun

oh my god, i just came back from a damn good time of drifting with some friends...i can't compare my car to any other's since i've never drifted in any others but DAMN, i really had a hell of a time. we even video taped our drifts. soooooo much fun. i live in canada and we've gotten snow...i was debating whether to drive my car in the winter. now i know what im going to be doing on weekends
it's fun getting a first car and "learning how to drive"!!!

Stock up on some cheap tires for your back wheels, you will go through them quick. Also helps to have a couple of spare wheels, you will bend them. Make certain you take good care of your LSD.

What kidna Diff is good for drifting? What is the worst for drifting?

Which wheels are the best? The stock + lookin alloy wheels or the Stock steel, ugly wheels?

I think I just found a new use for old *** toyota corolla or ugly 626/323 wheels. COOL!

Single-wheeler diffs absolutely suck for drifting. If you wanna get some sideways action you've gotta have an LSD or at least get out the welder and lock it.

well the tires are crappy, not winter ones on there, and the stock wheels are in such bad shape it doesn't even matter about them. the lsd i should probably think about, but with the snow, i don't think i need to worry too much, do i? hopefully not...

Oops! Sorry bout that. I'm not 100% sure but I doubt there would be much difference between the three.

the first time i drifted, i forgot to turn on my treedar. i would just fudged up a rim but this tree was hangin way over. had to replace a fender, header panel, and light bucket so be sure and turn on the treedar before goin out for some fun. hehe i think im gonna make a blinkin led panel that turns on that says treedar now, good project while im gonna have the entire interior apart.
