so back to that drifting part. yeah you can do it. that LSD helps alot. i drifted my friends 240 a bit that had no LSD and it handled sloppier than my FC, but it shifted smoother. other than that your good to go. you'll spin, you'll laugh, you'll have fun. drifting is always a good time haha.

And of course our penises are larger. This immediately makes us more intimidating, but of course means they have more to prove!
Anyway, bs aside, dont throw yourself too short on your hardware. I wont restate what all these guys have said, because you know its true, however one part has been overlooked. In a turbo car, you can get away with a lightened flywheel if you have a steady right foot, however that flywheel holds all your rotational inertia. When sideways (and with inexperience) the revs will either drop or ping out the redline from lack of control. It is easier to hold your acceleration with a stock flywheel while learning drift than it ever will be with a lightened one, ESPECIALLY if its n/a. Keep that in mind.
Also, ive found that the Tein SS coilovers (f 9/ r 6 spring rates) give the balance the FC really needs to drift competitively at track speeds. In the mountain, power is nothing. Balance is everything, but if youre going to a speedway, higher apex speeds are inevitable so be prepared.
Lastly, keep your angle of countersteer low. FCs are not made to drift at sick high angles like some people think, the balance of the car can be maintained at full speed if you keep it under 20* or so.
Oh, and btw, Dayton Daytona tires are a good starter tire for drifting. Much better control than Goodyears or Dunlops ANY day of the week. Strange, I know...

I wonder how long it's going to take Seattle to burn all their superbowl merchandise when the Steelers win this year? who cares
honestly it will be a close game but I was born a steelers fan, as long as they keep their defense strong in the 2nd half and make sure Ben doesnt hold the ball to long (snap and get rid of that thing!) we will def win.
