now absolutely of course toyota-supra.info does not condone any illegal activity outside of permitted premises for these kinds of things.. ie. drag strip, race tracks
so remember ppl's when you're drifting, do it in the right place



thanks for that info drift stalkers... i'm sure alot of ppl appreciate it
do you have any vids of mk3's drifting on the site you posted?
i'm surfing it at the moment but in case i miss it hehe

supra's are an easy car to drift in my opion,

currently i am driving an 84 celica gt, it has a 5 link in it with a lsd out of a hylux, the w58 tranny and a 2.5l sohc 4 banger... making about 100 horse...

in the rain this car is like driving a high power sports car...


and weight effects this car dur to not enough power to rip the back tires lose with more then 2 people. in the dry....


like said earilyer, it's about how you aproach the corner...

i deliver pizza and belive me when you take the same corner 30 times a day you learn aproach and departure presidures, along with down shifting before entering corners.

when it rains and im out in the rich neiborhoods that have those circile things in the 4 way stops, drop to first grab second and slide around it once or twice before heading back to work....



any ways i gotta stop blabbing...


im looking for a 92 toyota supra perferably black or blue.... all conditions considered... perferably on the west coast, north west if possible...

MK2's and the celicas from those years are easy to drift. I love my MK2 for that reason. The MK3's (and I presume the MK4's) are a lot tougher -- but still doable

mk4's with a good suspension setup and a lot of weight shaving will get the job done...the reason an mk4 and mk3 is hard to initially drift is because of its stock weight...taking out the rear seats is a good start, as well as all the amenities you dont need like a/c, radio...some bum tried to sell me a 240sx drift car with a full radio setup and a body kit, but not suspension or anything related to drifting....i obviously dint but it...i might as well start drifting my supra... but i wanna get the motor tuned properly before hand...dont wanna mess anything up

I've never driven a mk4, but my friends say that the stock mk3 suspension is way better for drifting than the mk4 cuz the mk3 suspension likes to throw out the rear end (just get on a dirt road at a moderate speed and take some easy turns; you'll feel it, and if you're like me you'll love it!).
About weight, how much do the rear seats weigh? With a full tank, my mk3 weighs over 3700 pounds (certified scale). (It weighs more than my mom's mercury sable!). How much weight can i take out, and how much will it help my drifting?

i have a friend who got a mk4 n/a turbo... oh men... its not that good in drifting... to me it seens like the body is to heavy or something.. or maybe not lots of hp... or something is wrong with it... so i havent experience with the mk4 so dont know much. but like i said. i have a friend with the 95 supra n/a turbo.... after drifting the mk4 i didnt like it as much as my mk2 turbo. so i think the mk4 is taugher then the mk2..... n now i working on my 76 toyota celica rwd. swapt in the 7mgte. on it... n still learn how to drift on the old scoop celica....

hi everyone.i own a 1988 supra 3lt none turbo.let me tell you its a fantastic drift car,i can drift it on any track.i take it to javelin track days.im always the best drifter there ,and thats no bull shit,i can send you photos to prove it.its a standered car.just running coilovers.people who cant drift a supra must be muppits.its as good as any nissan 200.its no about power.its the way you put it into the corner.clive@spaldingmarsh.wanadoo.co.uk

[quiescent_87]

There are couple of drifting teqniques i use... the easiest one is the handbrake. but you can try to powersteer it. when approaching a turn, steer the opposite way then steer into the turn hard and pop the clutch, make sure not to do this on a skinny or busy road cause you might slide out too far the first couple of times. if you have any more question email me and i will gladly explain more tecniques.
