Drift how to..Yeah!!!!!!!!!
How is it Done?
There are two ways to start a drift. The first is the clutching technique. When approaching a turn the driver will push in the clutch and shift his car into second gear. Then rev the engine up to around 4000-5000 rpm (it all depends all the model of the car being used) and then slightly turn away from the turn and then cut back towards it hard while at the same time popping the clutch and causing the rear wheels to spin. At this point the drifter has a loss of traction and is beginning to slide around the curve. Now comes the hard part. You have to hold the drift until the next turn. To do this you must keep your foot on the accelerator while at the same time adjusting your car with the steering wheel so you don't spin out. It's not as easy as it sounds. Then as the drifter reaches the end of the turn and approaches the next turn which is in the opposite direction he must cut the
wheel in that direction and in some cases, if the previous drift was to slow and they start to regain traction, they must pop the clutch again to get the wheels spinning. And that is how you drift a rear wheel drive car.The second technique is used by a few drifters in rear wheel drives, but is the only way you can really drift a front wheel drive. You have to use the side brake. A front wheel drive can not whip it's tail out because the tires are being driven in the front as opposed to the rear. So when approaching a turn you pull the side brake to cause traction loss. And the rest is pretty much the same except that it's much harder to take more than one turn with a front wheel driver

Re: Drift how to..Yeah!!!!!!!!!
Drifting is the best. I used to have a S14 as my second car and it was the best drift car. There is a hill near where I used to live and around 11:00pm at night, a couple of my friends would practice drifting there. NOT power sliding but actual drifting. It's only 2 turns and you can get really good entry speed into them. I go from 3rd gear and feint drift it into the turn then pop into 2nd controlling the counter steer. It's not easy, you have to have a real good feel for the car and know what you are doing. It's fun!!! But very costly if you F' up. Just like Ryo Takahashi states "Straight lines for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers"
It also helps reading about it and watching A LOT of OPTION videos. =P
