hey have you tryed it on wet pave ment or gravel?... if u do it on gravel make sure there isn't any ditches that drop down a good 4ft around i had a bad expearince with that the other night

i survived tough...

hey wats up i have a 1986 NA supra and i agree they are absolute crap to drift..... when its dry

but believe me as soon as the raindrops start a fallin im out on the road busting out on a wet day i cn pull some of the sickest drifts. so yeah i would say they are a wicked car to drift. oh and on top of that from behind the fat arse of a supr looks pretty awesome on a 45 degree angle (i know cos my mate has a supra 2)

check your tire pressures; when I started driving my mkIII my tires looked a little low, but a guy i know said they were fine, that they would heat up. I left it alone and started having fun when i got used to the car. I had some trouble drifting, but i could do it. when my car was in the shop have some work done on it (front end got knocked off alignment), i had the guy check the pressure: 19.5 psi.
Sooo.....i bumped it up to 32 psi (normal tire pressure) and went and had a blast! I couldn't stop drifting it was so easy. (unfortunately, though, i live in a small town of 15k people, and the best drift spots around are in the middle of the rich and snooty neighborhood, so i go drifting in random spurts and bugger out before the cops are notified.

i noticed that when i drift i usulay pull hand brake give more gas. youl notice ur back end will kik to the side, when it does that u jus turn the steering wheel to the side u want to go to. make sure u practise this in a open area. i actualy knw couple of ppl that died from doing this, so be very care full. and rember practise makes perfect.

yea don't be stupid. scared the bejesus out of an on-coming subaru one day ... took off up the road sideways and all i think he saw was my passanger side door

You will notice you can drift just about any car.
I been drifting my ma70 ever since i bought it last year from ebay. This is my technique, works to well - safe to cause its done at low speeds - aprouch corner slowly in second gear untill revs are all the way down - clutch in - quickly rev engine to high revs - then quickly release clutch as you go around corner to get a quick boost, but not to quick otherwise the car will spin - alot of people assume my cars turboed, considering how controlled and sideways i can get it, especially in the wet.
Just resently my right hand wheel bearings collapsed, due to to many right hand drifts, so just remember drifting comes at a price.
I enjoy drifting more in the wet - you can get more sideways and for longer - and it puts less stress on your car - unless you hit a tree offcourse.
Remember the more power you have on your back wheels around corners - the more controlled you are thats why i don't hand brake around corners - cause its damn dangerous.

Drifting Technique

Heel Toe Shifting
Learn proper race shifting to get your car into the right gear for drifting. Includes double clutch shifting.

Power Over
This performed when entering a corner and using full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. You need horsepower to make this happen.

E-Brake Drift
This technique is very basic, pull the E-Brake or side brake to induce rear traction loss and balance drift through steering and throttle play. This can also be used to correct errors or fine tune drift angles. Main drift technique used in FWD vehicles.

Clutch Kick
This is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during a mild drift, then the clutch is "popped" to give a sudden jolt through the driveline to upset rear traction.

Shift Lock Drift
This is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer. This is like pulling the E-brake through a turn, but this should be performed on wet ground to minimize damage to the driveline.

Dirt Drop Drift
This is performed by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. This technique is very useful for low horsepower cars. Do not attempt this technique at the Drift Session.

Feint Drift
This is performed by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the rebound of grip to throw the car into the normal cornering direction. This is heavy rally racing technique used to change vehicle attitudes during cornering.

Jump Drift
In this technique the rear tire on the inside of a turn or apex is bounced over a curb to lose traction resulting in over steer. Do not attempt this technique at the Drift Session.

Braking Drift
This is performed by trail braking into a corner. Loss of grip is obtained and then balanced through steering and throttle motions. This is mainly for medium to low speed corners.

Kansei Drift
This is performed at race speeds. When entering a high speed corner a driver lifts his foot off the throttle to induce a mild oversteer and then balances the drift through steering and throttle motions. The car that is being used for this style of drift should be a neutral balanced car therefore the oversteer will induce itself. If the car plows through any turn this technique will not work.

Long Slide Drift
This is done by pulling the E-brake through a strait to start a high angel drift and to hold this to set up for the turn ahead. This technique can only be done at high speed.

Swaying Drift (Choku-Dori)
This is a slow side-to-side faint like drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a strait.

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed. Last edited by lethalwithasupra; 01-13-2006 at 08:04 AM.
