Get into the drift scene..learn to drift, check out the drift scene, it's starting to grow in the US and OZ at the moment. My son has a 1982 Toyota Sprinter AE86 or as it is called in Japan the "Hachiroku", he has started a new Drift Club in Newcastle NSW. We are encouraging young blokes (OZ word for dudes?!) to take their cars to the track rather than abusing their cars in public roadways. He plans to replace the puny Toyota engine with a Nissan SR20 just for the drift scene.

As always truemagellan is correct the best way to drift is to disable the electronic gagetry first! 9100RPM

Ezz,

Probably wise to edit out the number plate for Shannon's sake.

Exactly....

Track is the place to fool around. :D

Be safe still. You want a straight car at the end of the day still

Drift? Hell, we just call it Winter Driving. :p On Saturday we had an inch or two of new snow over packed snow, I found a big empty parking lot (stores closed for New Years Day), so I wrote my daughter's name (Sarah) in huge letters in the snow with the rear tires. :D

A handbrake might get you a 180, but not a 360. Combine a handbrake with a Rockford Turn (aka J-Turn) might do it, but on dry pavement it is pretty hard on the car. I've done hundreds of Rockford Turns over the years, but usually on wet or snowy pavement. Dry pavement Rockfords etc. are reserved for beater cars.

Regards,
Gordon
