Well i doubt i'll ever drift in my 240 (mebbe someone elses lol) only cuz i don't have the sort of income to replace any of the parts (when i get it that is).flohtingPoint wrote:DUDE THANK YOU! This is really a breath of fresh air. I'm glad there is someone else that thinks the way I think.
Recently I was gutting my car (removing rear seats, carpet, misc pieces of plastic), to lighten it, as I am building it for AutoX. While I was doing this, one of the people that stays in the same dorm that I do came up to me and was like "Hey, you a doriftor?". I calmly explained to him that not everyone that drives a rwd Nissan is a "doriftor".
Drifting is fun to watch and everything, but I liked it before Initial D became popular and everyone and their mom started trying to get a RWD machine and pose that they are Yamamoto or Ueo.
To Drift, or Not to Drift?

those turns he was taking wasnt exactly HUGE. think about it. big turn faster drift. smaller turn. slower drift.
if you ever watch any option videos' theyre going like 80+ mph.
nice try smart guy

drifting is all personal to a person...personally i don't find it too interesting. i get a nice high and all form it but really i get a high going 100+ mph into a hard right then transfer in to a hair pin left...exiting out...etc. drifting uses lots of the sames concepts of grip and grip uses concepts of drift. but going full sideways is not my thing. i get kinda mad when people in my club say...dude when you drifting...and flame me for not going to EVERY track thing in the world...other things come first.
I'm a drifter too, I don't use mine for any SR20DET Capabilities because I don't even have one, but seriously, drifting is the most fun I've ever had by myself in a car. I had to learn my lesson the hard way though, drifting on the street cost me $300 that would have bought my racing seats about a month sooner. Be Safe

Many people compare drifting to ice skating, i dont know where in the heeeeeeeellllll that came from, but it cant be farther from the truth. I dont know what kind of "drifters" you have met, but the guys i have met are poor, hardcore, and all about just having fun with their cheap beat cars. Not exciting? I guess solo 2 is painfully boring for you.
I for one am not really a drifter, I have tryed it at a dgtrials event and I really sucked hardcore, but it was ALOT of fun, and im definatly going to keep doing it. Everyone is so quick to bash anything thats popular. Go buy a yugo, those arnt popular for anything.
