New to drifting?

holy ££££ batman

15 grand is a huge budget,you could buy a full spec bdc/edc car for that,you can buy either the s15 or the skyline either would be fine m8,plus you could get it up to competion spec and have loads of change:thumbs:
 
Hi all maybe another stupid question i have a volvo 340 1.7 with a locked diff, its not as easy to get the arse out as i had hoped do i need more power to drift easyer?or try using the handbrake to shock the back wheels 1st?if i stop then full throttle then the car goes quite well with just the locked diff.Any ideas anyone?:confused::)
 
help

i was looking to get a new engine to put in my skyline r32 or s15 silvia when i get it any suggestions where i could get it:dw:
 
mazda eunos

i am currently stipping out my 92 1.6 mk1 eunos so that i can start learning to drift in the new year:thumbs:am pushing 115bhp and 92lbft torque. do i need some more engine mods or is this enough to get me stared?
 
Just done a DWYB and after a few attempts I could initiate in first using a clutch kick going to the right. After a while i could nail this every time and hold. The problem is going to the left it just didn't want to go. On a low speed left it just seems to go round in a circle even while kicking the clutch.
It managed to do a left direction drift on the larger kidney course while in second from a transition, but for just a basic donut i couldn't get it to break. Just wondering if this could be the diff/setup or me. (pretty sure im doing exactly the same either direction :wack:)
 
Can anyone tell me the laws of drifting in car parks? I have got a s14 and wanna have a go but need somewhere to practice. Are there other good place to go and learn? Cheers.

hi ppl, i sort of stumbled across this site 2 nite and it has held my attention for about 3hrs so far reading diff bits of forum! i like the sound of drifting but dont know what car to use, ideally something i have already would be good, what is the best idea for a learner out of the following: 1979 2ltr gl ford capri, 1988 3ltr toyota supra or 1990 2.6 turbo mitsubishi starion( may be hard to persuade my dad to let me drift the starion as he gave it to me) none of above have mots and all need work but which would be best to get legal and practice in?? any helpful advice muchly appreiciated!!

Are you new to Drifting?
Do you want to find out more about the sport or how to get involved, but aren't sure about asking what seem like simple questions about the basics?
This is the place for you :)
In this 'New to Drifting' forum section there is no such thing as a stupid question, so ask away and we'll do our best to give you a sensible helpful answer about getting started :thumbs:
Cheers :)

Hellow:) My name is Chris Davy, I am infected, in a advaced state with the microb of drifting and everything related to engines, wheels and tuning.:D I have been drifting for a year or so with cars from friends and stuff and now I am looking for a car of my own to do my own thing with it. I am interested in a daily driver car that I can also drift and race with at any time. I have a few rides in mind but I thought of asking for advice here and there, so my question is: as a novice drifter, what car should I go with, keepping a low cost at the same time? I know, rear-wheel drive, good LSD, locking dif., suspention, good brakes, at least 110BHPs, what else?
 
i'm going to start a drift-project but i'm not sure which car to take.

S14,R33 GTS-T,AE86 or R32 GTR

Which one would you take and why ?

Cheers
Robin
 
Hy !:d

Does anyone know a company named DYC? Any details? Or has anyone worked with them before? I'm interested into finding more about DYC and if someone has any colabo/work-experience with them, I'd apreciate for some advices or tips. I am also interested into buying, importing a R33-34 from Japan into EU. It would be nice to find some' with bassic drift-spec, suspention, coilovers, full lock LSD's and so on... Does anyone have any experience about importing jap cars into EU?:confused:
 
Hi there everyone, first off I am COMPLETELY new to drifting and pretty new to cars. I was wondering if anyone would give me a push in the right direction of where to go as far as beginning to learn about drifting and what a good first car would be. So far i've been looking at the s13 and the mx5, any suggestions of good cars would be good though, also cheap, I have a really cheap budget to go with.
