First of all, for the kids who just seen the DB, please, please refrain from practicing your newly acquired taste for drifting in an area where we wouldnt be driving. Second, WOW to that video. I shed a tear for the car and laughed at the driver. Third for goodness sakes, drive and drift responsibly. Dont blame the video, Raine, hyjinx or whoever you got it from about your wreck. It was your own fault $%^&#$!

I knew about drifting long before any of my friends did. I'm not dumb enough to try anything stupid...anyway at D1GP during August last summer, my friend bought the Drift Bible. He said he didn't learn anything, but I watched it anyway. It added on to what I knew in addition to what I knew already...
Recently he's bought a '95 240SX and wants to compete with the big guys. He wants to put a black top SR20DET. He's already got his subwoofers and switches to cut his fuel pump and amps! If he has each sub pipe out to the left and right side of the car, he can cut off each amp with one of half-a-dozen switches in his DIN slot, and initiate drifts with it.
What's even sadder is that I can honestly say I can do a better job at "drifting" than he does. I don't call what he does in the rain "drifting," and I don't call what I do in the rain "drifting," either. It's more like sliding. After he bought the car, it was raining and he did a nice little tail-out in a wet parking lot, and that's, according to him, when he fell in love with the car.
Anyway, that same friend and I went "drifting" in the rain in his "Silvia" once, and I suggested that he try that thing where you lock the wheels with your clutch. He does it and he's like "WHOAAAA! I LOVE this car man! It's SOOOO smooth!"
There was one corner he took, he just kinda tailed out on it. I could have held the entire thing with two or three clutch-kicks. Also, the drift bible isn't a be-all-end-all "book" for drifting, but it's more there to give you some ideas. Dori Dori barely touches the e-brake...but Drifter-X pulls his as soon as he starts turning. Besdies, all the american drifters say the best way to do it is to go learn yourself...
I like drifting, but I don't pretend that it's everything, like all those stupid poseurs. The aftermarket industry is forcing drifting down peoples' throats after they saw the success of D1 at Irwindale. It's the next cash cow, kinda like Civics, except the cars that are about to dwindle in number, have been out of production for at least ten years.
