It's not easy to set up a drift car, a lot needs to be considered, the Falken drift car had to replace its steering column for a toyota one for greater turning radius, that said it means it's physically harder to control a drift in our cars.

The major weight distribution issue also need to be addressed, the power to weight ratio of the drift cars are usually extremely high, (400hp in a 2200lb car)
In order to set that up, we not only need a TT but also need to shed close to 1000lbs.

After you do that, there is suspension setup, high spring rate and some pretty extreme rear cambers.

After you setup the car, you have to know how to use it.

Drift is much harder for beginners to participate than drag.

It's hard... but you really don't need all that to go out and drift. That's the best part, you can take a completely stock car out there and get it sideways. You can do it with any real wheel drive car that's manual... even the underpowered ones (look at the ae86). Once you get used to the feeling of drifting the car stock, then you upgrade. An LSD, tighter/adjustable suspension (coilovers or springs), and brakes are a good start. Then more power if you feel you need it. Best advice I got was to add one thing at a time and then go out and drive it... see how that part changed the car. Just go to a local event and have a good time... everyone out there is more than willing to help, and when you first start you're going to spin out - everyone does. Drifting is the most fun I've ever had driving, and I've drag, road, and time attack raced.

g35 drifting.. not the best but who cares!

I have a g35 with AT and it's fairly easy to drift, the only technics you cannot use are the Hand brake (the sedan has a pedal instead of a lever) and shift lock (of course... no clutch).

So dont use it as an excuse not to have fun!

U don't NEED all that if u are just starting.
People do all these suspension upgrades and go to a track and they find out their slow as fuk. Best way to get started for drifting or for road course is to go with stock setup and then u will figure out what u need depending on ur driving style.

just get up to 40mph in third. in this order, feint opposit of where you want to go, then back into the direction you want to go, pop in and out the clutch staying in third during your turn back in. you'll start to feel the car sliding...counter steer, feather the throttle and make adjustments. if you let off...the car will straiten out violently...you must let off smoothly. too much throttle, you'll spin out. dont even bother using the e-brake. it sucks. practice makes perfect, have fun. then you'll be more comfortable and more confident going faster with more angle.
