Its also a real pig to keep an FD in a drift. They just grip so well.

I drift mine, but sometimes it's hard cause like fishy said, it grips very well. I'm still in the begginner section I must admit but I am getting better. Just need to practice more, and I need more money for tires, lol.

doens't matter about power at all. it's actually quite easier with less hp. it's more about your setup. all that power stuff are for the pro's like yoshinori koguchi because in japan it's a totally different style than we look for.

I try......does that count...how exactly do you pitch it out? e-brake? I just take turns too fast and let it slide, then hope I can get it back straight...also I dont think I have enough power.....*yet*

i like to downshift, and rev up and just pop the clutch out, causing the tires to lose traction sometimes, or if you are going really slow just stab the gas and pitch it sideways

clutch kick, its the easiest way to get the tires spinning exactly when you want them to, if no, you can use weight transfer and power over to get them spinning but sometimes they dont exactly start spinning till too late or when you dont want them to.

obviously you dont do it in rush hour or anything like that, at 2-4am, its pretty safe.

hmmmm....I'll have to try that. I've just been turning in normally, but right at the point of losing traction I gun it and pull it sideways. but not too much control there. I'll try popping the clutch....in about an hour...ha ha ha...
