My first event ever. Practice makes perfect. The more fun you try to have the better you get. I started with a 360whp sr with to much angle for stock offset. Kept grabbing the frame and spinning out. Lol still had fun. Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2 |

Dont be some sorry ass that rely on power alone, learn skill. Try ride alongs with actual good drifters, learn technique, push yourself don't be afraid, it's all mental practice and stay Positive Have fun, laugh when you mess up or spin out! I've seen many come n go because they got "fed up at drifting" so now you know.

dude do you hate your life or something? EVERYTIME!! i see you post its something negative or trash talking someone. you remind me of the 'old guys' at work who cant stand the new people, all they do is talk bad and think every question they ask is stupid... let the so called 'kid' be a kid! and mind your own already. if your not going to help him then wtf are you posting for. . OP: like people have stated, the best way is try it for yourself, know your car and what it needs and what you need to get 'good'. your going to mess up your car and thats ok, thats part of the learning process. so enjoy and good luck to you! |

What in the world could possibly make you think that responding to my post from like a month ago in a trash thread was worth your time? If you don't know how to drive a fucking car, don't go drifting. It's simple. Drifting is a driving technique. You have to learn a whole lot of other driving techniques before you go out and try to be a "drifter". It's NOT easy, NOT EVERYBODY can do it, at least be any good at it that is. Fucking idiot kids go out and buy a 240 just so they can be a "drifter". They don't want to put in the effort to actually learn anything. They just wanna jump right in feet first. The fact that the OP posted this thread tells me exactly that about him. No research, no work ethic, no experience. Dude just posted a thread expecting all the information he desires to be handed to him on a silver platter. It doesn't work like that... |

It's like asking how can one person fail at life and the other not? The answer: Lack of common sense, education, and experience. Without the above mentioned you will suck at driving, and posting on Zilvia as well life in general.

Get your car setup for drifting and get some seat time.
I've driven at a few events so far, and it wasen't until probably the 3rd or 4th event that I actually started getting the hang of drifting. That had alot to do with my cars setup as well, since after each event I would address any issues I was having. Imo its all about getting out there and having fun. You will find out pretty quickly if drifting is for you or not. Oh and I'm still rocking a stock KA.

Not always true if you have a shitty setup.
For example, my best friend was drifting his SR coupe that had a bad alignment and a few small issues and he was spinning out all day and couldnt get it right. Then I let him drive my VH S14 and he killed it, linked the whole course and his line was on point. But the way I see it is, it's like any other sport. Either you got it or you don't, practice obviously helps, but some people will just be good at it naturally.. My best advice for drifting is to not be a pussy, go fast!

learn how to read and drive a proper race line as well. too many dudes say some lines are 'not possible' because they dont have 800hp, and then the NAKA dude goes and kills it because he understands line and how to not get too much angle at the wrong times, slowing you down.

I heard it is extremely easy like you can do it in as little as 5 hours just like cramming for a final the night before you have to actually take the test. Just grab a couple of redbulls, some hot pockets, and have at it on gran turismo. By morning you should be a DK (drift king)!

This was my second event and first time for my buddies. Im in the S14.
Nothing beats seat time and not being afraid to try different techniques. One thing I did notice since I am drifting with a stock KA is that finding the perfect line is key for underpowered cars. I think I got it down on the last run in the video. ![]() Fresno Tanso Tandem or Die V.3 (240sx, E30, E36 Drifting) HD - YouTube

why must you be so aggressive? we get it you just dont jump into a 240 and learn how to drift, bashing this kid with how you just know the type of person he is and wants everything in a silver platter blah blah is your personal opinion. Wasting your time when you could concentrated that hate to another idiot that post how can i get 400 hp in a sr any ideas help. op just try doing figure 8's and "manji drift" look all this up if you have a nice open parking lot at night you should be drifting in no time you really wanna focus on your counter steering/ steering lock first at low speeds and those two techniques are what helped me alot! |

SEATTTT TIME!
Round 1 - 17th round 2 - 10th round 3 - 4th round 4 - feeling BETTER than ever.... and then motor blew lol (I don't wanna talk about it haha) different setup every time, between angle setup, coilovers, power, alignment or suspension.Would JUST get use to a setup at the end of the day. (At evergreen speedway you don't really get a lot of runs on comp days unless you make top 8 lol) (well as of 2012) Different people have different learning curves, and sometimes peoples setup is just easier to deal with than other peoples' (poor to decent setups). Welded diff, struts and springs or coilovers, some tie rod spacers, BAM drift. I was sliding around open diff for a while... I feel as if it really helps me as with open you can't really adjust with throttle modulation, you have to pretty much control everything with momentum management. |
