the thing about drifting your fd is that youll eventually crash (i have 2X but amazingly have sustained no damage). i suggest getting a fc and getting good at that first and then advancing on. even then, youll eventually crash and most guys with fd's dont have the money or means to repair the type of damage that comes out with sliding around at insane speeds. if they did, they probally would have vettes/vipers/porsches ect

Just need some suspension really, thats about it so you dont have buttloads of roll. Really though you can do it all stock, just got to have control. Try an open parking lot or something before you take it anywhere else..

I do it in mine. 
Been to a few events, and plan on doing more. Here a shot of me from Drift Day 16 in SoCal. You can do it bone stock quite easily. The main area of concern is in suspension, cause stock FD's love to roll.
Strange thing is, I bought this car to road race with, and my previous car, a S13 240SX, I road raced that, when I actually wanted to drift with it.

I'm sorry but if you drift at all on an open road and hurt your FD, you deserve it.
From what I see and know, it involves a lot of ROOM, more room than what you have between the double-yellow and white line on the road in a turn.
This means danger to others, your car, and yourself.
Drifting is so fun to do in anything, from a golf cart to a quad. But as for in a car, it should remain in a safe parking lot or the track (legal stuff).
Other than that, I hope this fad drops soon, a friend of mine is always asked from ricers "do you drift?!" as if it's the only way to drive...

in anycase, its good that you got wide open spaces to practice in, there arent any in Hawaii
(except on military bases which i have been banned from 
) even our track is very tight (some turns are tighter then 2 lane turns which are on the street).

Why do you worry about these things little man, when you don't even have an FD?
