Read the infinite " what i need to drift" posts. Search. Then go really really fast into a turn and just rip the ebrake....so the value of my 240 will go up.

Learn grammar, then drifting. LOL But in all seriousness, just find a local track and start there. Also this forum has a drift section, so you might be able to find more info there. Goodluck

Find an empty parking lot to jack off your e-brake, when going 20 mph, and turn the car.

YES! Then take what you learn from it to the track. It never hurts to have a little knowledge before hand.

First things first, you gotta have your suspension dialed in just right. I recommend a lift kit from http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/

Your gonna want something thats gonna lift you anywhere between 3in-12in. This gonna add some body roll to your car, which will assist you with weight transfering. This will undoubtly make it easy as pie to initiate a faint drift.

Next up, your gonna need to fill that wheel gap. So head on over tohttp://www.bigwheels.net/ and find something with good offsets. Something like -30 / -25.

Finish off with a vader kit from http://www.extremedimensions.com and you'll be good to go broskie.

Happy drifting.
