Obviously this isn't something so you should just "google" to figure out how to do, but is this site a good place to begin? http://www.driftingstreet.com/learn-how-to-drift.html Anything else I should know before I get started? I'll obviously practice in open spaces until I've mastered it. I drive a 2003 Nissan Murano if that matters. ![[image loading]](http://i38.tinypic.com/264nbz5.png) ![[image loading]](http://i34.tinypic.com/2zexxd3.png)   | ||

edit: i suggest you watch the dubbed version of a dvd called the drift bible if you really want to learn in more detail about drifting. it covers beginner to intermediate drifting techniques. | ||

I have no clue what you mostly just said (don't know anything about cars), but I can't afford a new car just to drift. | ||

![[image loading]](http://rupyb.com/images/misc/barrel-roll-dog.gif) you're the white retard fluffy dog who wants to join the cool running dogs. Good luck. + Show Spoiler + suvs are top heavy and if you have all wheel drive you're going to be doing barrell rolls instead of drifts. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

If you are serious just buy a rwd car you dont mind slamming into a wall and invest in LSD, coilovers, and spare tires/rear wheels. Go read up how to pass tech inspection for a local event (thats the hardest part of drifting!!! lulz) and go have a blast. Once thats said and done look into the Drift Bible (buy the dvd its worth it) and hone your skills. Drifitng isnt cheap btw. Motor swaps, suspension setups, helmet, gas, fixing crap to pass tech, TIRES/wheels, fluids, admission, etc etc etc. Oh and if you read this and still wanna street drift, tickets, breaking shit/towing, vehicular homoside is also expensive. | ||
