Re: drifting

Drifting as in competitive drifting? No. AWD is not a good competitive drift setup. Powersliding through a corner on a track/rallycross course, yes. FormulaD style drifts, no.

Re: drifting

Good luck.
Unless you really know what you're doing, it's difficult to get the Impreza to break completely loose for a drift-style slide.

Re: drifting

Drifting in WRX...LOL

You mean like Peter Solberg in the Rally of Sweden...in snow?? LOL
It won't be good for us amateurs to try to emulate stuff like that. Big hurt and big $$, if you're lucky enough to be alive.

Re: drifting

Try removing the front halfshafts. That should help your drift setup.

The DCCD doesn't really help enough for drifting unless you're already on a low grip surface.

wow

on gravel or a very slick surface perhaps. unless you have a insane amount of power on tap and can spin all four wheels. I have seen hot rod millen do it in his evo. THIS TAKES SKILLS, proceed at your own risk. I see somebody else here is into 944's. Now that would make a good drift car.
