i love how the drifting posts always turn into people gettin pissed...not sayin drifting b26 isnt a douche because he's already proven he is...its just funny to see drifting in the title and all the lil jdm crazy kids come outta the woodwork to talk about how they're a drift champ cuz this one time they put food trays from mcdonalds under the rear tires of their civic, locked the ebrake and tached their vtech out n dropped the clutch (assuming they can even drive a stick)

 

Yeah, it's all about heart.......and TURBOOOOO!

 

alex stop lying...it's all about neon lights and 300 pound custom fiberglass sub enclosures and in dash dvd players

 

everyone knows the neon lights warm the pavement right before your tires hits it giving you better traction

 

Holy **** I didn't know that!

 

**** IT!!! I'm going to quit drifting as of this second cause of all the dumb ***** in the scene........ok I'm a drifter again as of know. I will practice some of my drifting skills on GT4 then hit the streets later........On a serious note, I got fucked due to being dumb and drifting when I shouldn't have been. I lost my license for six months and got put on 2yrs probation for it, cause I had a bad driving record...My own ******* fault, now I take it to the track.

 

An LSD is nice, but it's not a necessity. You may want to work on your suspension. The rear end of the Fc is generally very easy to control. Easy to catch over steer when it is occuring. Of course having a turbo is going to help you out but you can do just fine n/a if you keep your revs high.

If you're just learning practice with the parking brake and see how it feels to have your rear slide out. When you feel you're ready then move up to brake drifting/clutch kicking. I've been to a couple of track days and there are tons of beginers so dont think anyone is going to single you out. Also be aware that drifting but's stress on a car, especially a stock car. So dont be surprised if you drift alot then you'll be working on your car alot, fixing this and that.

Like I said my best reccomendation is to seek out some good suspension upgrades. I run koni yellows myself and love them, and dont worry about being n/a when I was n/a I did just fine as do alot of others drivers.

Hope I could be of some help.

 

Omg dude obviously you haven't seen Tokyo Underground, I was making fun of this dude who says its all about heart, and good tires and overfinders which he called "special finder" **** dude please I know drifting isn't about heart and drifting there many different factors to be good at drifting. I'm not ignorant, I know that you dont need to have boost to drift,

I'm not getting pissed and I wasn't trying to start anything I was just making fun of a drifting dvd and I get the noob bullshit wtf y are all the ******** in the 2ed gen. forum. Geese just cuz I don't post in this thread that much and then I do and I get this. You guys are homos you know nothing of me and nothing about me. So **** off yeah food trays yeah haha GAY

 

first off.... just go to a HUGE open parking lot (or that track) and learn how to do good donuts...big ones...then work from there...

if you need an LSD to keep the drift going.. get that. its pretty expensive$800-$1,200, but worth it.

you dont need a lot of power to drift, my friend has like 88hp in his corolla, and he's one of the best here in vancouver...

hope that helps.

it all comes down to seat time. the more practice, the better.

cheers,Dan.

 

Looks like someones insecure about his sexuality!

Look guy...you really give drifters a bad name, especially younger drifters. We have bad reputations enough as it is god dammit. Stop perpetuating the stereotype.

 

dude please i'm 21 not 16, and trust me no sterotype here

 

Interestingly, this is the single statement that the ignorant always fall back upon when they haven't a leg to stand on. "You don't know me".

We don't need to, we've seen your kind plenty of times. Learn to read, spell and think coherently, then come back.

 

I'm terrified of drifting after being in an accident in a Mini cooper. (just fyi: Minis don't fair so well drifting on a ~15 degree sloped street at 60 mph in a 90 degree turn. Apparently that's not blatantly obvious to a kid who just got his license a couple of weeks ago. I don't ride with him anymore, seeing as he drives his other parent's Honda CRV now. Don't think we would have been as lucky in that)


But, there is in fact one thing that scares me more than drifting... and that is our generation being run by people like this:

 

seems to me uve stereotyped yourself to be a douchebag..right guys?

 

Yeah, and J-Rat runs 12s on a Mazda reman. ******* bastard. :P

 

I never said you were 16 scooter. i said 'younger' and unfortunately, to most people on this forum, ages 1-25 is usually considered 'younger'. And if you're referring to me then yes, I am 17, but as I'm sure my ARTICULATION and PROPER USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE shows, its not chronological age that matters, its maturity. and digitalsolo is right, we DO know you. you're no new breed mang.

 

yeah the need turbo and **** statement is stupid.

Never mind E-thugging. We have a whole E-gang!!!

Anyway. LSD is not needed but is nice to have.

I would almost say that not having LSD is a good thing for beginners.
It will leave one rear tire to act as an anchor so you do not spin out as much. You will have a bit more control over the drift since one tire isn't wanting to go out like the other.

Although f you switch to LSD you may have to redo your knowledge since the same stunt can send you into snap oversteer.

I would recommend wet pavement to practice on to save tires and reduce the speed needed. Smaller/skinnier tires should help you lose traction in an NA as well.

 

if you could call having the rear kick out and call that drifting, then you dont need a lsd...

if you want to drift, then you need one.

 

Yeah, too bad my turbo decided to shell out the other week! Just ordered a T61.. Wonder how fast I will go with that..

 

Yeah, I saw that you were selling it... Keep us updated, I wanna hear how this goes.

 

Yeah thats ****** awesome I cant wait untill I can run that in my Mazda!

 

i would like to take my car to an open parking lot but there are no big ones around my house that i know of. and i would like to take it to the mall parking garage because the floors are nice and slick there but there are pillars everywhere and my friend just totalled his 300 zx trying to drift it and he slammed right into a pillar. so i have my doughts

 

Note: Drifting in parking garage not as good of an idea as it might seem.

 

i unno... its guys like that e-thug up there that gives us up and coming drift champs (lol) a bad name... for ***** sakes its bad enough that if he have a 2 door car with rims we're a street racer. tone down the stereotypes buddy, if ***** us all up...

 

I just had to quote this nonsense one last time.
