Yeah, that is one of my farourite movies and I would love to drift whenever i have time. You need a rwd car, like people said earlier you can't use an SUV. Also, depending on how much you want to drift you will either just get a crap car to beat up or dedicate yourself to it and get a nice car with drifting tires, which are expensive, and also get special chips for your engine to help you drift better. All depending on how dedicated you want to be to drifting.

you're the white retard fluffy dog who wants to join the cool running dogs.

Good luck.

suvs are top heavy and if you have all wheel drive you're going to be doing barrell rolls instead of drifts.

a nissan murano is the last thing you want to be drifting in. You'll probably flip it trying to get the tires to even spin much.

I used to do lots of auto crossing my high school years and its a hell of a hobby but of course it involves lots of money as well. If i remember correctly my suspension alone ran me $1800(not including installation which I had friends to help me) and one time I ended up having a bad day and fucking up one of the springs which lead to another $500 for a spring and shock and tire.

I believe out of 2 years I went thru about another 2-3k worth on tires alone. God It was fun but I shoulda probably invested my money elsewhere.

I started off with a 1991 mazda rx7(which already had suspension work done to it) but then moved on to a 1991 toyota mr2(which had all the money i spoke of invested in) after I realized how much of a pain in the ass the rotary motor on the rx7 is. After finally buying a 1998 chevy camaro z28 I had to stray away from auto crossing b/c of how expensive suspension parts and tires were for the z28 during that time (02-03).

Now that I think of it, I had worked so hard to have all these things to make me drift well and corner well and I have nothing to show for it now.....TT

Drifting is awesome. In the winter when the roads, and in particular the big parking lots are covered in snow I like to take out my car and have some fun. Sliding sideways for a few seconds and then whipping out of it is so much fun.

I don't think its possible to correctly drift in a murano... its like skating with garbage bags taped to your feet. Sure you'll slide around and perhaps fall over... but I'm not sure its called "skating".

...

people who want to drift because of the movie "Tokyo Drift" are complete dbags. that movie was absolutely terrible, and the amount of kids that were trying to drift on the street after that movie was just a sad sight to see.

You're right.

It's called drifting.

I actually liked the movie. I went in with low expectations and that's what I got. I wasn't expecting Shawshank Redemption quality, I was expecting decent racing scenes and it had plenty.

Speaking of this topic... where the hell is Gran Turismo 5. I've been waiting for that game longer than starcraft 2.

edit: my car better be in it

Autocross has nothing to do with drifting... Cornering well yes but drifting hell no.
