Drifting

[godwine]

I just got a doner S13 with a torn tranny and busted rear diff, i don't know if i should try fixing it and trow in a LSD or should I just part it out and trow money in the SW20...

I drifted an AW11 before, the thing just keep going because of the heavy back end.. it was fun Too chicken to do it with the SW20... the car is not that well balanced.......

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



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!

wow i just joined to and i thought that japan was like heaven for drifters. kind of suprised to see how many people are miss informed

Drifting Forza 2 style!




I should get a second job so I can get a project car that I can drift for real.
