1. watch more than just their first video2. their not donuts, look their countersteering3. Rihanna is hot4. I hear bad things about welding a DD5. Link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbUl2JEoWYc (the first 50 seconds are sliding around cars, donuts to you people)6. Not into track drifting, the whole "safety" thing doesnt do it for me.

Let the flaming continue.

you're right, you don't affect my insurance, you're in canada. but people like you in the states surely affect the insurance of other people. insurance rates aren't just calculated based off of an individual's driving record. the typical driving habits of other people in the same age group also affect insurance rates.

Not to flame, cuz i hate flamin, but this is really one of the reasons why cops hate imports. Have you ever seen a cop hate a professional race team or anything like that? Nope, just people like this who make it harder for people like us to drive modified cars on the street without harassment. To each their own though

lol who ever said they hate the safety of a drift track is a dumbass.. seriously

And welded diff for a daily driver is fine if you know how to drive. If you're afraid of driving on a welded diff why get one in the first place?

Have you ever even been in a car with a welded diff? It's really not that bad just go slow and carefully in the rain, I've done it plenty of times

MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAHA

this is why 240's suck, every a** clown that has a $2,000 chassis now is a drifter haha. Most of these cars are pieces of s*** with an open diff. I love street sliding but comparing it to an event is retarded. One event is worth months of street sliding, very very few people actually throw down on the street as hard as they do at an event.

my angle is weak on the streets

weld your diff p****

my car sucks

i'm a poser

who ever said "get killed" thanks i agree

Haha. Please show me a donut where you don't countersteer...

That video link shows donuts and figure 8's, not really technical stuff COOL STORY BRO.

You must watch Initial D every night before your mommy tucks you into bed and dream about touge racing on the street. Good thing you'll be taken out of the gene pool before you do too much harm, or at least mangled so much that no woman would ever reproduce with you.

hey man think what you want, to set the record straight i have no f'ing idea where i would even watch inital d... and to everyone else, you can shut up, im tired of being insulted because i have a different opinion than you. yes i would prefer to go to a mall parking lot at 3:00 am when its abandoned than have to pay for track time and conform to their regulations, thats my own opinion, yours is different and i respect that. i never said i hated track drifting, i really respect what those guys throw down when they run i respect their dedication to the sport, and i respect the cars their running. its almost as if one bad comment was read, and then it was exaggerated, and then that one was exaggerated, and that just went on for 2 pages and i just got tired of people telling me to get killed and that i should drive a civic (id die before i drove another one of those)so cmon people give it a rest.

Spoken like a true 18 year old. Look kid, you'll grow up and realize that it just isnt smart to drift in abandonded parking lots. It may feel safe when you get away without problems, but what happens when you hit a light pole and you cant get out of the car for some reason? Maybe the pole will hit at the drivers door and crush your leg in the car. If you are alone, who will know your hurt. Now thats just a general example and not saying that is going to happen but it could. Also, as some members here have already said, 2 runs at a track or sanctioned event in a parking lot somewhere with cones is much more beneficial to practicing then just drifting willy nilly around a parking lot just going wherever the car wants to go.

Essentially that is what you are doing in an empty parking lot. There is no suggested line in a parking lot to follow, you are just letting the car slide around aimlessly. Learn some skill, take it to the track, get rid of the High School "I know everything" mentality and be smart.

Just to clear some things up, not every one on here was flamin you. I was just trying to state a fact. All the accidents no matter what ur skill level or car get figured in for insurance rates, and when cops see a bunch of civics with coffee cans and huge wings racing eachother to all of 40 mph, they get a bad taste for imports or modified cars. Lets just say cops finds you drifitin with your buddies at 3am in a mall lot. Well if they are pricks you will get in trouble (friends of mine have gotten reckless driving for doin that in my own work parking lot which is technically private property so i dont know how that worked out) and now these cops potentially will have something against imports or modified cars, especially if they are domestic fans. Now these cops will have a chip on their shoulder for these cars which makes it harder for everyone else. Hey do what you want man, its your car and your life. Also, try not to take the others flammin personally. I have over a full page of flammin when i asked if anyone could show me pictures of mixed matched body kits because i like the front and skirts of one and hated the rear. THere are a ton of really good and helpful people on here, but there are also people who it seems like they just troll for someone to rip on. Its a waste of time imo, even this post is. As much as you say that its just your opinion on what you like to do, its just their opinion too. Not needed but whatever. Good luck and be safe.

I never said that accidents dont happen at the track, to say that would be more idiotic than saying that you enjoy drifting in a parking lot over a sanctioned track event. Accidents happen probably more often at the track because of the higher speeds, more angle, and people tend to push the limit at the track. That is the reason there is normally an ambulance crew standing by and in some cases there is a fire dept crew avail if ness. At the track after an accident, the response time is almost nothing, and there are medical professionals there ready for something like that to happen. In your abandonded parking lot if you happen to be by yourself, and the impact knocks you out. U could possibly be there for hours, without medical attention, or anyone knowing that you have crashed you could very well die. Now those are the extreme, most times if you hit a light pole you can walk away from it, but what happens if you cant?

FYI...

Initial D is part of drifting history. It is an animated series, where a delivery driver has different driving escapades with japanese drivers on japanese mountain roads. It is the reason that some people got into rwd imports in the us and may not be a bad thing for ya to rent one or two episodes.

That wasnt really what i was saying at all... all i meant by it was i find it more interesting to watch people slide around a parking lot on their own dollar than watching people try at the track... to clear up what i just said im not some dumb kid who sees something on youtube and goes out and does it. id prefer to watch these upslidedown guys over multi-million dollar drift teams on a circle track. stuff like this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw2gJ1ASp2othis; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPWSQgJB0Fsor this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBSVqOc-CN4i cant stop watching.but i agree people who do stuff like this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9bkXoc86AY give imports a bad name that they cant erase.
