Automatics better for drifting, whaaat?? :eek:

All you need to drift is a rwd car and a nice, open space to practice in, preferably at a track :vsign:

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 :rolleyes:



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 :vsign:

Thanks!
