Driving lessons. Then upgrade your car when you get better at driving. Most of the time the limiting factor is the drivers ability to control the car.

dont get weak *** springs that dont slam the car, thats not JdM tYte son. cut your stock springs in half, strip your whole interior, put a sr20 in it, drift EVERY corner you come up to....and yes, school zones too--you got to keep it hard core, remember drift or d-i-e

-or-
zeal super functions(only cuz their for ballers)
get them corner weighed
hella tires
steering angle kit
a good seat
swaybars
2 way lsd
extra transmission/rear end/lower control arms/ half shafts
and yet another tranny and rear end
extra rear fenders, bumpers, bondo, paint and many many zipties (youll wreck)

Turn 18 and learn how to correctly drive like a normal person.

Then some 15" wheels and high sidewall tires to begin with. And lower the pressure in the rear.

Then hit a wall and blame everyone on the internet for bad advice.

get junkyard tires that fit your rims. normal pressure in the front, high pressure in the back. a LSD, hard suspension in the rear normal up front. dtss eliminators, disconnect your rear antisway bar. go to a parking lot in the rain and be prepaired for the FC to come around REALLY fast. the RX& is known for it's short wheelbase. you would be better off learning in a 240sx just like all the other main stream drift fanatics who saw tokyo drift. just don't be dumb about it and get the police looking for the reast of us. be smart have fun and be carefull.

jana, watashiwa Ryosuke des. yoroshku oneguyshimas.

well give it time. do some research about keichi tsuchiya, and nomura "ken". they both have good instructional drift videos. tsuchiya san jumps right into it but about halfway through his "drift bible" he get's into using the e-brake to initiate a drift. i feel that and nomura san's power spins are the best ways to start. they both go through car setup in the beginning.

take care, be safe.

jana,
Ryosuke

tokico sturts n shock, eibach springs n weight transfer will be your friends. definatly practice in the rain cause its less hard on the tires n drivetrain. and try to stay away from ****** clutch kicks, i hate em. if u learn to weight transfer then u'll be better than a lot of ppl.
