In this show about how to drift, they said the best car for it is the early 90's 240sx. How hot is that?

OMG!!!! That's news to me!!!!

hahahaha

serious?

i thought it would be a 91 geo metro!

best car: ae86
2nd best: s13

watch initial d and you'll know where im coming from ;)

mymymy...

getting facts fom a cartoon.

the hardest (common) car to drift is the ae86. then the FC3S



the s13 and s14 are known to be "easier" to slide

just wanted to correct something, it is anime not cartoon...=)

anime, cartoon, same difference. cartoons are animated, hence anything animated is a cartoon

this thread sucks

this thread sucks

Agreed.

this thread sucks

:iamwithst

hahahahahahaha, how funny. :cwm27: :rofl: :loser: just kidding, im sure your not a loser :rofl:

I hear the 86 is really the easiest car to drift since it is much more balanced and lightweight. Then again, I dont give a crap about drifting..

nah, 86 is the hardest cause youll need to learn every technique underpowered cars use. if ou have a higher hp car, itll be easier to break traction.

a person that drifts an 86 got skills.

You dont need power to break traction when drifting. Any novice racer will tell you that. Its all about balance and weight transfer.

Besides, when your car weighs 2200 lbs and your tires are only 175 wide, it shouldnt take too much power to break traction.

breaking the traction is the hard part...keeping the traction broken is

\Wow, stating the obvious always amuses me!

No hate dough! ;)

Have I been drifting wrong????

Whe I come to the corner a push the clutch in and quickly perload the front by braking and downshifting at the same time and dumping the clutch. I get slideways uberquick. or should I be using the ebrake??? The way I do I gotta be really good on timing or i end up spinning out real quick and if I do right People say that iw was a real smoth drift.

GOD I MISS that old Sil80 :banghead:

Although the clutch on the Cadet was totally gone when we sold it!!!

e-break is cheap, I think what are you doing with the clutch is a better approach, that’s what I do (yeah… 360 are not a rare seen!)

I’m not an expert on drifting, I ‘m a mature drifter myself, but I suggest that you check out that drift bible thing it might help?

Good luck!

I AM RIGHT DAMMIT SO THERE :biggrin2:

watch the drift bible it will show u all the silvias are better choices for drifting. they show why.

breaking the traction is the hard part...keeping the traction broken is

i meant breaking traction ISNT the hard part...

man i got a ghetto ass keyboard, keys always gettin stuck and shit...

Lol !!

I've got two words for all of you "Drift Bible" This video answers all questions on drifting.

AE86's are definately not easy to drift, MR2's are easier to drift than the hachi roku, S14's are acctually supposed to be easier to drift from what I've seen on japanese videos and web pages, I don't know this for sure but I do know S14 and S13 are the eastiest, then probably the FC rx-7, FD rx-7, Silvia's, MR2's, Supras(not in a specific order here) and finally the AE86... now if you had a rebuilt AE86 with some mods then yea it'd be a lot easier, but with only what 140hp? and 18 year old suspension and engine, deffinately not the best or easiest, and deffinately far from it. the 240/180 S13 and S14 weigh less in the back than in the front, I forget the weight ratio but its like 56/44 front/rear I think? thus giving better grip to the front tires and less to the rear(perfect for drifting)

like logikal said, anyone can break traction, maintaining that around a corner is the hard part, and when your low on power its even harder... but I don't agree that the FC3S is the second hardest, it has 50/50 weight ratio, great suspension, and plenty of power for its mere 2800lbs(160hp NA and 200hp TII) and mine gets sideways fairly easy, I'm just curious what made you think it was that difficult?

if you don't believe me buy 'the drift bible' video and watch when he drifts the AE86, he barely ever comes off the gas cuz its so weak, and if your too dumb to see that, he even says it, maybe like 4 or 5 times?

ofcourse weight transfer is what it takes, but thats not as easy as raw power, and this thread says the easiest car to drift, so no the AE86 is not the easiest

mynisom, intial D is just a bunch of idiots like yourself... go drive your maxima

and as said before, THIS THREAD SUCKS, mods help us and close this please

Drift Bible...pft. It really shouldn't be called the bible. He's not even the best drifter...Not that I could do any better or anything. I just don't think it should be the End-All reference to every drifting dispute.

You mean I bought that DVD this mornin for nothin!?!?!?!?:eek:

ok fagget we know hes not the drift king as hes called and we know hes not the grand poobah of drfting, but he explains a ton of techniques and shows how to execute them along with giving good advice on LSD's and suspension and such(even though he advertises his) the video is a good learning tool, no one said "the drift king is the best ever so go buy the drift bible!" we said buy the drift bible to see all the techniques

Next time you insult me, at least make sure you're intelligent enough to spell the insult right. When you spell it wrong, it kind of takes away from the impact of it all.

Let's see, you're 17, you rarely have anything positive or useful to contribute to the forum, and you don't even own a 240...and you're flaming. I didn't even talk to you. I added my input, and you just decide to openly attack me. Maybe you need to read the AF guidelines again, because flaming isn't allowed here. If you have a problem with me or what I say, then PM me.

the fc from my point of view is difficult, maybe because im not used to having so much power for my useage. it whips back so strongly when you try straighten out. my guess is beause it was designed to be such a good grip car...

fuck drift bible. its a good video, but im sick of faggot wannabe drifters that cant even heel-toe say how that dvd will teach everything.

hahhah word...

Word. Watch out though, Soyo will call you a "fagget" for saying that. :lol:

atacking Soyo, not a good idea. I ge tthe impression hes a pretty high up guy when it comes to drifting.

Hahahah you obviously haven't been here that long. Iv'e been here for a while, and trust me that is not the case. It's not how much you post, it's what you say in them. Anyways, he's the one who attacked me, not the other way around. I was just reminding him that flaming is for newbies and trolls. This thread is so far off topic now, I feel a padlock coming on :icon16:

Good lord ppl what is wrong with you? Drifting isnt about power, its about weight and tires. I dont drift very often, but this i know. I never use power to drift, I use braking or flicking.

Besides...when you have 175 width tires (corolla rwd has 175/70) its not hard to break traction, whether through power or simple inertia.

fight fight fight!!

i wasnt aware you were into drifting fliquer. you gotta admit, even though drifting isnt all about power, it DOES have alot to do with skill. and for those without enough skill to drift a 90hp non-lsd ae86 sr5 (like me and im guessing alot of people on this board), power, suspension upgrades...etc help alot.


but if i were ueo though, then id easily be able to throw around an underpowered car like the 86.

Man There Are Idiots In Every Form Of Autosports...... I'm Glad I Don't Find This Shit Interesting Because The Stupidity Would Offend Me. I've Watched A Guy Drift A 240sx With A Bad Cylinder.... Its All About The Skill, Power Is Just A Handicap. If You Know What Your Doing You Can Get Anything To Work The Way You Want It, Hell I Can Drift My Race-kart It Just Take The Right Kind Of Finesse (sp?)

I wouldnt say im "into" drifting (not since I crashed my lsd equipped one (it wasnt while drifting)). Im just arguing for the sake of physics and logic - they arent my opinions, they're straight up FACTS.

Well damn, i dont think I could drift anything without a lsd, tho im sure there are those that can. Skill is they key though.

skill and diffs that slip in a fashion that can be called limited

and big wings

Its all about physics. Inertia, equal and oppopsite reactions, ect. Newton would have been the king of drifting.
