places for Drifting

[beef_bourito]

Does anyone know of any places to learn/practice/compete in drifting in Canada and more specifically ontario and quebec?

Also, what mods should one get for their car? I was thinking suspension, lsd, and some engine mods, anything else?

check your local track, and what kind of car do you have?

[beef_bourito]

i don't have one yet i was just wondering for future reference. There aren't many tracks around where i live within a 2 hour drive, actually there is only one. the closest one i can think of other than that one is mosport, and that's like 3 or 4 hours.

cant really help you much without a car, but main thing is enough power and lsd, but it'll help if you have specific car type because some, like the 240sx most of the time will need the rb20 engine or you'll have a little trouble, you still could do it with the ka though.

whoa wait a second " you will need the rb20 or you'll have a little trouble" since when was a rb20 the engine of choice among drifters? and the ka can handle drifting just as good as anything else the only reason it is not used as much is because of the lack of aftermarket support which is on the rise greatly. but most people tend to use the sr20 not the rb20

what both of u are wrong...now people are droping in f20Cs and VG30s

[sidewayzS13]

but i bet u that there are many more sr's then vg30's out there in drift cars so im not wrong

[Tougeman]

well i was just kinda saying what i've been hearing all around forums, most people are just saying the ka is bad, and i guess the sr is what i meant i dunno, lol.

ka24de rocks the madhouse. dont listen to the sr fanboys. there the same cats that say rotaries dont last.

[sidewayzS13]

oh i love the ka the next 240 i get im building the KA. and the reason i took it serious is because some people are actually using odd engine choices now to drift

[EVOclipse]

the only thing i have to say about the SR....is if built right its bulletproof. the autobacs gt300 car uses one. not detracting from the ka...just gotta give the japanese engine mad props

[drftk1d]

well if the ka24 was used in the silvia, they'd use that too.

the main difference is that the sr is a factory turbo motor, so everyone loves it.

LSD is always a good way to learn how to use your FR.

as for locations... try to keep it on the tracks. But of course, some of us don't have that luxury nearby... so just do it at spacious areas w/o any people around..

also watch out for residential areas b/c if they hear you.. they will call and complain.... hence, cops will be on your ass in less than 10 minutes.

jus don't do anything stupid like... attempting a drift at an intersection.
