So...
If you go to local drift events with the G, it's very unlikely it'll get beat up unless you just don't know how to control a car in a slide, lol. This is of course assuming there are no walls in direct vicinity to where you are drifting ha ha. The drift events I've been too were really open, and even if you "spin out", you wont hurt anything. I think cones would be your biggest worry...

If mine wasn't so expensive to fix I'd take it out to PGP for one of the open drift days, there are tons of guys out there of all levels of expertise and they'll let anyone have a go. Its not too hard to get someone to give you pointers too, ride along, etc.

But you WILL need a real LSD, and coilovers before I'd even think about going out there or you'd just be committing suicide.
Other tips:
over inflate the rear tires
remove the seats/ all extra junk from the car to lighten it up
make sure you've got the bolt-on mods and Osiris tune to maximize your usable power
buy a helmet and some cheap beater rims
have fun!

I drifted for years with a VLSD and lowering springs, lol. Coilovers and a clutch type LSD aren't absolutely needed, but do help immensely. I'd say even if your car is stock (with a VLSD or better), to go out and have some fun. Nothing beats more seat time in regards at getting better. Going out in stock trim also makes you appreciate each and every modification you do afterwards. Definitely get some beater rims and tires though, because you will go through tires like crazy!

I have some experience driving tactically
with the stock VLSD and found it to be VERY unpredictable and thus dangerous... its ok for skidding corners and such but any aggressive stuff overpowered it and it went straight to one tire fire and me almost making love to the curb :/
