If you're looking for tips on how to drift, heres a few:
DO IT IN A SAFE PLACE---MOST IMPORTANT!!
Start off with low speed drifting (high speed gets MUCH harder and the consequences are MUCH greater :shock: ) Try some 90 degree sharp wide turns. You can start at ~20mph and get some ok drift action, but it will get you comfortable with the sideways action. Cut into the turn and pull the ebrake long enough to get the ass sliding. Counter steer at the same time. At lower speeds the rear will grip rather quickly. The problem most newbs have is overcorrecting the intitial drift. They end up drifting, overcorrecting, and drifting the other way into a spinout. A good technique to start off with is to counter until your front wheels are pointing down the road and the tail stops coming out. Let go of the wheel and the car will straighten itself out. Notice how the wheel moves and then move on to correcting the steering by hand. As you start to get itdown, you can move up to higher entry speeds up to ~35-40mph and using the gas or clutch instead of ebrake to induce the over steer.
If you have access to some dirt trails with plenty of runout, then thats an even better place to start off. You can get good drifts at much lower speeds than pavement. However, on dirt, when you mess up, your car can be ssent a lot further away from where you screwed up when compared to pavement. Thats why you make sure there's plenty of runout

. We let my buddie's brother try to drift on dirt in our project ae86, and on his first attempt he screwed up and landed the car on it's side in a drainage ditch. I had a video camera, but unfortunately I had stopped filming. I did film the aftermatch, though. That shiet was too funny!! We still love watching that tape.
