ok thought id give the board a chance to help me out on this one:
heres my problem. i drive a stupid fwd eclipse. this being said i havent fixed it up enough to sell it for enough to afford a decent 240, anyways while i wait i ebrake drift to learn car control and weight transfer, well i can do a pretty good job.....if im making a left. 180's 90's are fine. i can even do some pretty fun 45-50 mph drifts through intersections. but its the biggest fucking hassle to break my rear loose when i make a right. i dont know if its just my weird as technique or if its because my suspension might be messed up. or what. anyways i thought i would ask u guys to see what the consensus is? and yeah fuck spelling im tired tonight. =P

sounds more of something to do with how the car is putting the power to the ground possibly? but i dunno

right turns are generally a little harder than left mainly becasue the driver sits on the left side of the car, i.e. weight distribution.
anyways i got a video for you. this is back in 2002. eclipse drifting in speedtrials at buttonwillow racetrack.

it's probably your e brake, they r not even, not too much,
but most of the time one wheel brakes harder than the other.
so, if ur left rear brakes harder, then it's easier to a 90 turn to the left,
but harder to the right.

consider the location of your hands when you're turning left or right.
that alone should tell you why it's easier to pull your turn in one direction compared to the other...
