automatic tranny and drifting

[SupraMan1784]

haha use manual...its recommended or something wehre u control teh gears like sport shift or tiptronic...for auto...i would assume that you would use the ebrake a lot since its a little harder to get the rear loose without the clutch kick, but mainly i use the ebrake to fine tune a drift....like make the car enter the corner at a steeper angle...

[hangsupra]

thats what i try to telling you guy... use alot E-brake at the sharp turn.... like at the corner..... n also the bust you like 340-360*.... yeah you do need lots of E-brake for this sh!t.... hehe.

no offense..and im sorry if i do offend you but a lot of ebrake is usually used by beginners so they get used to sliding around, theres a bunch of ways to initiate a drift...though i think the easiest way is by using the clutch kick..its faster and it gives me a little more control of the slide when i enter the corner, then in the middle of the slide...i use the ebrake to change my angle...more ebrake=steeper angle.. using the ebrake in the beginning slows you down too much...i lose too much momentum so by the time i exit the corner my speed drops significantly as well as my rpms...im not an expert...and im really not...maybe im just doin it wrong..ebrake drift that is.. but thats my experience...but hey...maybe u can kick my ass in drifting

how about a manual conversion on my mk3 well i blew up my head gasket so now im gonna have to get the engine out and put it in and im guessing while im at it, get me a turbo conversion and make more power.

anyways i was just wondering since n/a motors make more compression, putting a stock turbo on it means it will make more than 235, so is 250 around the block, just wondering.

Can anyone in here that really knows how to drift explain how to do it, when u say kick the clutch what are u actually doin? I have tried drifting many times, i do ok, but most of the time i drift and all of a sudden it tricks me and i go into a 180 spin. Someone help, i don't wanna wreck my car "trying" to drift, i was also told that if u know what ur doing, u can drift ANY car.

i not so sure bout the kick the clutch but to me i think they were just talking about the double clutch. but i not so sure bout that tho. cause to me i use alot of double clutch n double gas and down shift alot. well.... if you are a biginning.... i recommand you to do on a big space like a skool parking lot but no light pole near by tho... n far away from town so you wouldnt get caught by the pig... try to go first n second gear first n at 25-40mph. do not go higher then that. cause you not their yeah. so try to do a sharp turn like 90* first... when you good at that.... try to do a 360* @25-30mph... do not go higher than that. if you do than you might flip over. when you get better n better go to a street road where its wide n no lots of car coming.... like out in the country side.... n try to do the sharp turn at the corner first. try doing at 30-40mph. first. n when you getting better go higher to 50mph... but you must know how to down shift n double clutch/gas at the right time tho. if you dont know how to down shift at the right time then you will ran over your rpm limet.... if you does that lots of times then you will having trouble with your motor tho... well.. when you get better after all you can do whatever stunt you want it to be... well.. this is only for a short drift only. if you need a long drift... you really or do need to up grade your water pump n other stuff to. why... cause long drip trust me.... if you not upgrade some part you will over heating your car. n soon or later you will have a bhg tho.... how do i know. i drift my mk2 ever since '01-02 till now... n i went their before n thats why i know it... well hope this help you little bit. well anyone help me out if i wrong.... well all this info. is my knowledge only.... n this is what i were doing only... n i not sure about other people if they do the same as me. but hope someone does the same like i did too... i hope someone out their beside me must know how to drift to. hope they will provide some more info. about drift. to you to. cause i only know the demostration not the infomation part... so i sorry if this didnt help you...

There are a few different ways to begin a drift, as someone has already stated a "clutch kick" this simply means being in lower gear, putting your foot on the gas to either have your RPMs already high or in some cases be in boost and drop the clutch as you jerk the wheel in the direction of the turn, this breaks the back wheels loose, as soon as they break countersteer to keep the car roughly straight feathering the gas to keep the back end out but not spin out, common sense wise more gas = more angle, less gas = less angle.. Your best bet is to find a decently damp but not soaking wet open area, parking lots attract attention but if so, try to find one without many poles in the way.. a good way to practice is to not try and do a doughnut but to try a circle keeping your back end out without spinning out or loseing your angle, practice both ways and get comfortable.. lemme know if you have any questions.. Good Luck
