Newbie Drifter
 

Hey guys, I was interested in learning how to drift, but what do i need to get started?

first you need a super ultra tyte jdm ride, but I see you already have a 1996 240sx SE!! Now we all know that you need an SR20 to drift, get that stupid truck motor out of there, no one uses that thing. Now that you have the SR20 your going to want Silvia badges, they add some hp and the chicks will dig your jdm tyteness. Don't forget the super jdm wheels, fwd offsets work better than anything so I would suggest some super fwd wheels on the car. Do some suspension crap and be a drifter like all the other super tyte drifter guys

good advice :laugh: :thumb:

-_-

lol were all aholes to the newbs...but seriously search around for styles and techniques....suspension is first along with a lsd, other than that u just need seat time to become better:thumb:

if u wanna learn some techniques, DL or buy the Drift Bible.

and for the rest, SEARCH, its the best way you'll learn and be able to setup your ride to drift. There TOO MUCH info you need to know, and we cant just go and explain it all (most of which has been explained b4)

I try

follow my advice and you too can be super dorifto master

Hey S13 240 .. with all due respect, don't be a ****!NG *******!
The guy is just looking for some advice, i don't think you represent this board very well treating people like that.

To begin drifting you need: NOTHING!
It is best to learn in a stock car. Make sure your car is safe. Serach around online for techniques, watch tons of vids, and DL the drift bible.
I'll send to to you over aim: Maxboost724

Get used to taking corners without loosing traction, if you get used to the speed, the drifting will be a lot easier to start.
You can't just get in a car and start drifting it takes time. You also might want to go to a junkyard and get some tires(make sure they fit correctly). you'll go through a lot of them.

Hope that helps, anything else, reach me on AIM.

1. LSD 2. Car u can beat the crap out of 3. Money to keep it running 4. Wide open space(s) ~ not necessarily in that order

You don't NEED to beat the crap out of it ... but unless your Keiichi or Fumiyaki, its gonna happen! lol
Money is big too.
Wide open spaces? C'mon, thats what body shops are for, don't they have honda's in your town? :laugh:

actually I live in white rich preppy suburbia~ minivans, suvs, and beamers, everything in the freakin' town closes by 10. And there's a town law stating no fast food stores can open here... the cops love to pull me over even when my N1 is rumbling at 2500 so I have to circle the town off my highway exit to get home asap when I go out, I can go on and on... Lexington is supposed to be the birthplace of freedom (first battle of revolutionary war) but I guess it's a much better example of the hypocrisy of the system

LOL, sweet!

cops don't really care around here, as long as your in the industrial park.
Its like the "designated area" for racing.
They firgure, we're gonna do it anyways, so why not let us organize where people aren't around.

dammit I have to find some industrial parks where the cops will let me be. I literally don't practice drifting because I can't find any places around here where I won't get in trouble. All I can do is make a couple passes in my elementary school parking lot and then high tail it outta there before the cops show up.

you feel constricted!?!?!
I can't even leave my neighborhood.
I don't get my liscense until October. I'm only 16 lol. I'm stuck to driving around my neighborhood like 6-7 --thousand-- times a day.:spin:

one word... TRACK. :)

with all due respect, you can say what you like, everyone is entitled to say what they like. With that being said, it gets very irritating seeing so many threads with names like "How do I drift", "Want to drift what do i need", "Which 240 should I drift", "Want to be drift king"..etc, had the original poster just searched around for five minutes he would have found numerous threads in this and other sections where people have went into great detail about the subject. I sure hope five minutes of someones time isn't asking too much, all one would have to do is hit the search button, type in a few keywords and bam, a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips.

So maybe I don't represent the boards very well, If it really bothers you that much I'll stop moderating and posting and let everything be, and why such harsh uses of the little *'s....

sorry bro .. i know its annoying i belong to like 4 forums. However, i don't think its right to get all sarcastic. I think its right to give someone a little push. Not everyone is an expert. AND, surprisingly enough, sometimes people don't even think to search, or maybe he doesn't know how. I just get mad when someone gets all sarcastic and acts like they don't have to help. You don't have to help, but that's what these boards are for.
I'm not trying to start an argument or anything like that, but i just think we should help people out. He's not going to learn from us telling him, but if we help him along the way, its all good.
We were all noobs at one time, and you just gotta think back and remember how that was.

When YOU started hanging out at the shop, and you were watching someone work on a car. You asked questions, he diddn't say "buss off you dumbass" or anything along those lines; he educated you. We don't get anywhere if we don't ask questions, and we don't get anywhere if we don't get answers.

nicely said...

sry, i probably should have searched first but i just didnt really think about, next time, ill definitely search first

nicely said....

and they all lived happily ever after.

all you need is practice and some luck.. ahaha and you have to not be scared to **** up your car... i haven't met a hardcore drifter yet that hasn't hit a curb/wall or popped tires.

took a nap and forgot about this thread totally....
