I wouldn't reccomment any hardcore drifting with stock suspension on a 5-10 year old car, but hey, go for it. The worst that can happen is a tie rod end snaps and you're toast, or you crash into something

wait, on second thought i'd check all my suspension and make sure it's ok, then try some beginners drifting in a parking lot.

"I dont recomend overhauling for a beginner because it could end up harming your drift skills."
