If not, why not?
Yes but was fired for it.
>>27619267>was fired for it.huh? explain.
>>27619272Used to drive city bus.
>>27619255>why not?I like not blowing up my rear end
>>27619255I can only drift in winter because I'm a huge pussy
RWD manual and 600 hours in assetto corsa has its benefits
>>27619255I have 1.2 N/A FWD "car"
>>27619255>Can you drift?Yes, but only with light over-steer. Never got used to handling heavy over-steer. I used to race track and going fast was more important than looking cool.
>>27619255i drift my atv, mountain roads where i live are too shit and narrow and don't want to risk going off a cliff on my car
Yes, but only under 60mph. I don't have that big of a death wish.Put shitty tires on a miata w/ lsd and you can slide around at 10mph if you want.
>FWD>open differential >can still break traction, get tires spinning, and powerslide easily
>>27619255Snow drifting your shitbox after the first real snowfall of the year is the white man’s expression of simple automotive joy.
>>27619535you actually want a nearly open diff to get a fwd car to rotategetting on the power again without spinning the inside wheel and losing all your torque is where you need the differential action
>>27619514>i drift my atvyou are going to die lol
>>27619590been doing it since i was 12 on a public road, unscathed with the same '98 Bansheeatvs are very tossable and if they have power it's not that hard to do massive slides on them
Drifting without RWD and LSD is not possible
Yes.
>>27619691Yeah maybe if you're a scrub too scared to enter a corner with inertia
>>27619535>fwd >powerslideNo buddy, just no.
I can drift. I can't control it but I can get my car drifting in a random direction and hope I don't hit anything.
I kept trying to snatch the wheel out at 90 mph on a mild curve outside of town trying to figuring I'd either walk it 30 yards or die trying,never got any better at it, I don't consider drifting at any slower speed to be interesting and below 30mph it's just porch monkeys playing in a parking lot.
>>27620132t. tard who tried to break traction at 90 and never drifted once in his life
>>27620152you dont have the balls to do what I do and you never will.
>>27620159That's like telling me I don't have the balls to eat shards of glass. Ok good for you i guess.
>>27619255my race car is specifically designed to NOT drift.so no, it will not drift
>>27619255My Alfa would kick the back out at highway speeds and be controllable enough to do that in traffic and stay in lane. It was basically a touring car which probably had a lot to do with that.
>>27619255i need to go put junk tires on my backup wheels and go slidingthe local dragstrip has $15 drift nights
>>27619255>Do you drift?No, I fucking hate ruining parts on my car. I will not ruin my tires. No spin in 1,2 because I'm easy on the gas, no losing back end, no hard breaking, not touching the e- brake until I park.
>>27619255notires too sticky
>>27620233Based >>>/n/thusiast
>>27620233low test fag
>>27619255no because i suck and there's no real places near me where i could try. i did powerslide once in peak hour traffic but that's not drifting
>>27619255I can't do it like picrel but I can do some little powerslides, especially fun in snow
>>27619524So much yes. Ran some free wheels with Chinese 155 80R13 tyres.
Yeah but only when I steal trays from McDonald's lock the handbrake amd spin around in circles on them
>>27619255Yeah. I haven't been in a while, but up until 2 years ago I went to drift events several times a year. I've become a bit lazy.
>>27619255Every car can every time it goes below freezing. We had threeseparate people T-bone someone else last week because their tires have absolutely zero grip
>>27619255NoI drive a Peugeot Partner
No I drive FWD hot hatch. Maybe once Im in my 30s and have a career job. Im cool guys I swear.
>>27619267Fucking worth.
>>27619255Yes. I learned at Ebisu 8 years ago
>>27619255you never ask
>>27619255Drift is retarded and gay unless you lived in Japan in the 90s or early 00s and had access to dirt cheap Nissan s-chassis or similar dirt cheap rb20det skylines.
>>27623897Doesn't matter, the machine will keep chewing up whatever is the next best thing.When picking between an MX5 and a TT targa 300ZX for 2k more about 8 years ago, I picked the MX5. Now the MX5 is about 10k and the TT is easily high 10's, low 20's.I strongly regret flogging my bent WGNC34 for 5k at the time.
>>27623897This you?
>>27623900Just chuck a torsen in it ya dumb cunt
>>27623904>real street drift the image above is 35-40 year old bald and bearded russian boomer LARPers who have poured thousands of dollars into their already not so cheap imported s13 and most likely LS swap them creating another abominationsthe image below is it's just some Japanese students who bought a car and some second hand mods from upgarage for it and having a genuine fun that's the difference
>>27623939Plenty of the younger Russians drift cheap Ladas and BMWs but I'm sure you'll come up with another weeb coping excuse for why that's not ok.
>>27623942Pretty sure Lada is a dogshit level car, and old BMWs that you can buy for drifting are too heavy and has underpowered NA engines and their mods are too expensive compared to japanese cars. For this reason, eurodrift suck so much, of course if you consider Russia part of Europe. Because their second hand rwd car market is even worse than in Lithuania and Poland. Meanwhile, Japan is literally car heaven.

>>27619255A bit yeah (I'm absolutely no Formula Drift, but I can get a car around a curve sideways).I like tracking more than turning with style. Preference, nothing else really. I appreciate real talent tho, for both sports.
>>27623939I bet you still cream your pants when you see japs in a JZX with $50,000 dumped into it drifting on the streets, but seethe when Russians do the same.Reminder that Russia had cheap access to Japanese imports for decades and the people making those videos also went through the "le poor student drifter" phase.
>>27624371Falcunt, you are actually retarded bro

>>27624353>>27626556Life hack: Commercial tyres are super hard compound - skids for days
>>27623948>>27623949The primary reason the euro scene sucks so much is that nobody has any concept of style, cars look like complete dogshit because 1) there's no culture and aesthetic around drift cars2) there's no local parts industry to make good looking parts for those carsAlthough to be fair even Japan started losing interest in making their cars look good, from what I've seen very few people even run liveries anymore
>>27626913>muh style>muh cultureTHEY JUST KEEP COPING BROS

>>27626913There is plenty of style in European scenes you're just an outsider and looking at a small portion of what's been exposed to you in YouTube algorithmsBut to be fair mostly it's just ugly BMWs and that late 2010s era style of "clean" JDM
>>27626913>muh stickers>muh bodykitsMeanwhile the ruskies are pulling it off with soviet era shitboxesstreet drifting is about making it work with what you got
>>27627282Man you're delusional. Lada has a shitty 8 valve SOHC engine of about 80 hp, and it can't withstand turbocharging. It will never be able to drift on dry asphalt, especially on such wide tires. There is a reason why russians mostly drift on them in winter. Of course, there are a lot of NA mods for it in Russia and Hungary, but what's the point? Lada was always crap and will remain so even if you LS swap it. It will never give you the feeling of slightly modified '97 facelifted 180 SX in snow-white color
>>27627160>you're just an outsiderI live in Europe (not gonna dox myself by saying what country), I wanna visit Poland for Next Level, they unironically have some good cars in their scene. Heard of some good builds from France as well, but I hardly have any contacts there.>But to be fair mostly it's just ugly BMWs and that late 2010s era style of "clean" JDMAnd criminally ruined RS13s and S14s

>>27628510>Passing
>>27619255Rare for there to be a drift thread without busriders endlessly seething how drifting is cringe and gay.
>>27627600I'm not even standing by the Lada alone, you're just being a fag weeb that doesn't get the point of street driftUsing what you got and having fun
No.I can't do anything - I'm retarded.
i sort of know how to drift but still not at a high level. still working on connecting corners and be less reliant on the handbrake.the cool thing about drifting it's an very rewarding and fun skill that doesnt require triple digit speeds (so it's somewhat safe), isn't that harsh on the car (when it's wet) and you can do it during every commute.
>>27628682god i want a sierra so bad
>>27629554Just imagine if the FF trend never took over and all the 80s and 90s grocery getters were like this little fella - Group A touring legends in disguise.
>>27619284>I like not blowing up my rear endOP sounds like he loves getting his rear end blown up
>>27628682>doesn't get the point of street driftIf your car doesn't look cool you completely missed the point of street drift, it's the whole reason a whole industry of aftermarket exterior parts spawned, but what the fuck am I expecting from a faggot thinking some rat fuck Lada looks cool
>>27629719>If your car doesn't look cool you completely missed the point of street driftSo did you with some rat fuck nigsan
>>27629722I don't know what Nissan you're referring about, in any case get some fucking taste before you reply to me you utter philistine
>>27629743And the same to you.
>>27629719>b-b-b-but you need a cool looking car otherwise your street drifting doesn't count>and only Japanese cars look cool>but cool looking Japanese cars not in Japan don't count either because they're too expensive and if your car is too expensive then your street drifting doesn't count>all of these reasons are why only Japanese drifting is goodBravo anon, you have outdone yourself.
>>27629722Wow dude, I didn't know that S-chassis, especially right hand drive is now considered nigsan. Speaking about cope.
>>27629755>wall of text putting words in my mouthyou're a fucking retard, perhaps even a nigger, I know people in my european country trying their best to make stylish drift cars, I know about the polish drift scene, I know about the whole 2000s inspired drift movement in the US with Final Bout, what I said is that MOST drift cars in EUROPE are FUCKING SHIT, based on what I see from event photos and sales ads for drift cars such as picrel
>>27629755>>all of these reasons are why only Japanese drifting is goodYou're pretty much correct on this.Japan is a car paradise. Or let's say like a Mecca for muslims just for the car enthusiasts.
>>27629876Look at photos of any public "drift matsuri" in Europe, compare the look of the cars to any open drifting event in Japan and you'll see what I mean. Closed drift events with a selection of what gets in is where quality actually comes out.
>>27629890This you >>27623904 ?
>>27627282my favorite export from russia is their commie car drifting videos. here in poor rural america if you wanna slide you get a manual truck from the 90s or 2000s>>27627600grow up
>>27629903Name another place with a car culture as wide and varied (and with the builds being of high quality) as Japan's
>>27629942Posting a drift car for the sake of keeping to the thread's theme
>>27629942So if your "car culture" isn't "wide and varied" enough you just shouldn't drift at all?If your build isn't "high quality" enough you're just not allowed? (although also if your build is high quality but you're not Japanese so you're assumed to be too old and spent too much money you're also not allowed to drift) Sounds like some weaboo bullshit to me buddy.
>>27629965Holy shit did you pass a single reading class in your fucking life?There's a reason why Japan's car culture is so highly praised, and you replying with your shit fucking wojak implied that there isn't a concrete reason as to why people get hype for shit from Japan.>So if your "car culture" isn't "wide and varied" enough you just shouldn't drift at all?Not what I said, you middle school dropout, but considering you said the exact same fucking thing to somebody else, it doesn't surprise me.>If your build isn't "high quality" enough you're just not allowed? If your build isn't high quality you can go to public events where other people with shit cars (and most likely shitheads) hang out at where they will go into the gravel every 3 seconds, yellow flagging the track so you won't actually be able to drive on it. And a high quality build does not equate to a build that had a lot of money poured into it, because you can still have shit taste with a lot of money and go for shit mods. >(although also if your build is high quality but you're not Japanese so you're assumed to be too old and spent too much money you're also not allowed to drift) can you repeat that in english
Drifting is inherently slower than driving properly
>>27629974Did you not say:>"drift is retarded and gay unless you lived in Japan"?Did you not say the high quality Russian builds don't count because you assume the owners to be too old and to have spent too much money?
>>27629976I'm not the same person you geriatric nigger
>>27629979Oh so you're one of those retards who jumps into an argument halfway through without stipulating "NTA" and then gets angry when you're assumed to be the poster that was being replied to?
>having to specify who you are on anonymous websitethis is giving me brain damageanywaysdrifting started as a way to look cool and have fun and it should remain thatstreet drifting lead to people wanting their own places to do so (tracks), creating sanctioned events which created the D1GP, and at about the same time drifting started to become a thing in the US as well with formula drift, with the early days being almost an american counterpart to the japanese series (even if Irwindale stage always had western drivers in D1GP), nowadays poland is reknown for having a very strong high quality drift culture due to cars being imported there, and people emulating what was done in the early 2000s-maybe early 2010s thereyou can have proper drifting anywhere in the world, it's not a matter of japan or not, it's just that japan pioneered it due to the cars involved (which are still the main choice for drifting to this day), creating the first sanctioned events which created the first shops that responded to the demand for parts for drifting (from bodykits with Vertex, with the owner of the company drifting in D1 mostly to promote his brand with his soarer), eventually expanding outside, influencing the US scene and with the internet eventually europe started emulating what was done earlier (badly for the most part, refer to the german quality build)

>>27619691open diff rwd drifting is definitely possible
>>27619255Don't know, never tried because I don't have a rear wheel drive car.
>>27619255Newfag driver here. Is it possible to drift in an automatic, or do I need a manual for it? What are some other things I should keep in mind when looking for a shitbox to drift in? What is THE shitbox to drift in? AE86's look really neat and are supposedly really good to drift in, but all the local DBZspics have taken them up. It's probably just hypefagging anyway. I've seen people use 242's to drift in too. That looks like a neat car too. There are the older BMW's too. I don't like Mustangs 'cause they look hella gay.
>>27633931Get any RWD shitbox, the cheaper the better, auto manny doesn't matter, then learn the steering wheel from your arsehole on a nice dirt road somewhere.
>>27633980Doesn't being able to shift gears help with something with regards to drifting--something about the revs? Forgive me if this is a retarded question, I just got my license and finally understand what I've been missing out on; I don't really know much about car terminology other than what I've picked up from my old man and my carfag friend. Carfags are pretty alright.
>>27634008on the dirt she'll be rightlearn first, good car later
>>27619255No, I have never had a RWD car
>>27634008Definitely get a manual if available, especially if it’s not an V8 or turbo torque monster. Auto would be the last option.

Drifting is the easiest thing you can possibly do in a car.There more skill involved in driving a forklift then there is drifting a car.
