RE: Fast and furious tokyo drift
a drift is held ONLY if ur car is RWD..see that ways the Rear provides movement whilst steering with the front 2 wheels...so quite literally you are drifting because the back wheels are all over the place...my cousin who drifts with a 240sx says its like doing a power slide on steriods....and he reckons you need to have a RWD

well all those mitsubishi's and other imports and the porsche are all FWD, unless they did something to them so they could drift in the movie.

well, as was stated RWD is the better platform for drift. having RWD will allow you to first GET your car sideways (w/o the e-brake) and second KEEP it sideways by still pushing the car while the front steer in the direction you want it to go. it's a little like driving on ice, lots of counter steering. now, FRD you have to lock up the rears, so you start to slow down (it's inevitable). even with the front still "driving" the car, it slows down so you have to cut the e-brake in and out (usually. if you're set up good, you can just brake hard and cut the traction out and than drift out from there).

well whenever they did that way without the e-brake, they would smash into the wall or another car. i know ive only drifted in ym fox was when it was raining or icey on the road, never when it was dry.

okay, try to remember what movie "series" we are talking about here. do you really expect them to know what they are doing? [sm=icon_rofl.gif]
you wanna see a REAL drift movie, rent the LIVE ACTION version of "Initial D" good ****, good movie, real drifting. it also stars the most sought after drift car, as much of an underpowered POS it is, and is the reason that car is so sought after as a drift car!
all the e-brake is used for is to cut out the traction of the wheels so the drift can begin. you can do that, STOMP the brakes and cut all traction, than jump back on the gas as you cut the wheel or inertia (almost like a fish tail or start of a burnout; cut away from the drift and back in and this time open the throttle.) to send the *** end out, than counter steer and go.

It's so much easier with the E-Brake if you don't use the e-brake it makes it almost impossible too drift correctly.
And after the movie I had a Silverado, a Jetta and a 87 CRX, try ot race me as I was cassually driving home. What the hell?
OH and clutch have you actually tried that? It's a lot harder then your making it sound to be.

i couldnt do it at all without a slick road.
