Wow, Im new to this site, but have been into drifting for about 5/6 years or so now, and I'm suprised how many ill-informed people there are on here!
Automatics better for drifting, whaaat??
All you need to drift is a rwd car and a nice, open space to practice in, preferably at a track
The easiest and best way to learn is in a RWD car with the basics:
1. Bucket seat
2. LSD
3. Upgraded striffer/lower suspension
If you're seriously interested in the sport, try these places for all the info you'll need:
Drifting (motorsport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
www.ziptied.com
DRIFTING, DRIFTING.com
and if you're in europe,
Drifting forum - Driftworks
also, get some option and drift tengoku DVDs, or get a hold of a copy of the 'drift bible' - an informative DVD made by Keiichi Tsuchiya (the drift king) that describes all the basics.
and people, before you go on the internet claiming to be the next drift king, do a little research, more than just watching Tokyo Drift and Initial D so it looks like you know what you're talking about

The thrill is kinda indescribable when you first do it but as with all things, you start getting used to it. Weaving in and out of traffic still gives me a rush though  |
ivi0nk3y, be honest, you've never 'drifted' have you? If you had, you'd probably know that FTO's are FWD, NOT RWD lol
I'm not wanting to come accross like a troll or an ass, just want to prevent the spread of drifting mis-information that seems to be happening on this site
Thanks!
