To answer your question about suspension.
Stock suspension will have the tendency to make it harder since it's a softer set-up. You'll have more body roll and that causes more grip so to say on your outside tires while drifting. It is very possible to drift stock suspension but is harder when you transfer from drift to drift. There's alot more to it then that but that should help you understand a little more. And practice at a track will yield better results then on the street. |

Drifting, when it comes down to it, is learning to drive a car just past the edge of it's tolerances for the sake of driving at just past it's tolerances. Being a faster driver in general by getting a feel for your car in all sorts of situations will help a bit so doing some autoX and track days can help you really dial in where your car's limits are and help you get to the point of pushing past them. Lots of good advice on this page.

I would say the real answer to your question isnt direct. It all depends how quick of a learner you are, how well you can adapt to changes, how much practice you go out and how often you fail then learn from the failures to improve.
After reading the first post, I am going to take a guess and say you are talking about Drift Idiot videos. There are always people to help and give tips (not here though, here is to bash on other people hahaha jk...) Practice, fail, and learn from the failures. Some people become really good in a month, others in a few years or not good at all because they get stuck on stuff they shouldn't. Just depends on the person themselfs and how they learn. If you want to get really really good... put a cup of water in your cup holder and deliver food up and down a mountain, make sure not to spill the cup or mess up the food you are delivering. Then, you can be a professional driver like no one else and dominate everyone with cars more powerful than yours..... lol.... Just saying...

I know people say it takes practice, but I've seen people fail and fail after every track day. Sometimes it does take a little natural skill.

Drifting is an advanced driving technique, it is NOT the first thing you jump into. Learn how to drive the god damned car FIRST. Once you have close to MASTERED "grip driving", THEN you are ready to learn how to drift. All these dumbass kids think they're just going to jump right in and start drifting without learning anything about actually driving the fucking car first. OP is a fucking MORON, lock this shit already...

Seat time, I can't stress this enough. I used to think I was good at drifting when we would practice at warehouses and came to the realization that I sucked when I got to the track. After a couple events you get the hang of it and start incorporating different techniques for drifting obstacles. if you are not scared, you are not going fast enough. If you are comfortable, you are not going fast enough. You have to push your cars limits and yours mentally and physically. Good luck.

Natural talent well is helpful be I know from not having any to where I am now it isn't needed. Which is btw doing my first slid and not knowing how to counter steer to a Racing/Driving instructor. Don't be stupid about it. If you do you will pay. Go take a driving class and that'll show you the basic of car control. I'm tired and sick I have no idea if that made any senses... Ugh.

In my opinion boost makes drifting so easy, so if your really good behind the wheel with out it when you do eventually have boost your gonna perform awesomely.
Personally when i had my stock ka i was open diff and na with headers and i couldn't break em loose at all... After i finished my build and had boost with welded diff its almost effortless .. I do sort of wish i had more practice with an underpowered car just so i can get my skills honed how ever i just wanted to finish my project. It is alot of fun. Im not one to say im good at drifting at all. infact i dont go drifting much at all.. but once in awhile i go have some fun.. Just floor it alittle and noticed its pretty simple since i have a way to power out. In the end no HP can amount to the skill you can conceive. I believe you can do some pretty amazing driving if you have a passion for the sport and dedicate your free time practicing and trying to find the best method that works for you...

it takes a lot of commitment to get good.
you need to be consistent. always talk loudly about being a "drifter" in public and at social events as well as on social media outlets. people have to know that you're a "drifter", so that you can be cool. every janky bunk ass photo you upload on instagram needs to have #driftlife #drifter #driftsesh #idrift so that people will know. you will also need a bunk ass s13.

Don't forget the stickers from all the companies the DON'T sponsor you. Free advertisement is the best way for everyone to know you're a "drifter".

Learn with an underpowered car. I started with a bone stock zenki (open diff,stock suspension) and although it was hard, I learned how to slide with it. When I upgraded suspension and welded my diff, I was fucking drift king!
