Good luck drifting with an STI, those are built to handle, you have to Mod the STI to get them to drift right.

FC's are easy to drift, you will suck your first time out, don't sweat it. Change your oil and don't be scared to keep it in the high RPMS.

1. lsd
2. turbo
3. heart......drifting is all about heart!!!!

I seconed rrtec comment, FC's are very very easy to drift, for me that is. There have been many people that think that drifting the fc is hard. You just gotta know howto control this wild beast!!!!!!. My homie has an sti and i'm boosting i'm trying to beat him right now. "U ANT GOT NO BOOST UR FUCKED AGAINST AND STI" but not of a 3 rotor

you're both gonna suck... sorry. You need a good limited slip differential, some power, some stiffer suspension, and a lot of skill. you should still go try but just know ahead of time you're not gonna do so great and talk to other guys and see what they say. The Sti really doesnt stand a chance unless its snowing or they did a RWD conversion.

I really hope he is. You'd be an embarrassment to whatever you were interested in.

I've never seen a better example (on this forum) of a drift posing bullshiting incoherent ricer than yourself.

J-Rat has more friends on this forum then anyone. I would suggest you move along. He WAS talking about you. Get over yourself.

I took my T2 to my first drift event last year. It was fun as hell, but I sucked compared to a lot of people ther, it was my first time drifting a FC. I used to drift a 95 240 sx se and it was way easier to control than the FC. I am use to the FC now, you just have to get a feel for it and get use to the 50/50 weight distribution. My car will be more prepared for the drift season coming up, and I will be loving it even more. You will see mostly 240's at the event, cause of the easy to get ahold of sr20det. I suggest you get suspension first, power isn't the main issue at hand....people drift the "ae86" all day long and they have very low numbers. Have Fun, thats all it's about!

so you want to beat a sti or just keep up with him, before you start going tandem maybe you should work on sliding around first.
I think of drifting as fun and even if I am slow it's all about taking turns and smelling my tires.

And J-rat those people are everywhere, I like to refer to them as steve.
There ya go stevie. ^_^

Everything you've said about cars, drifting, and how good you are at it makes you a ricer, a liar, a ******, and an absolutley flawless example of a bullshiting internet drift kid poser.
