    Track tips from Tiff, and some drifting links.

    Bored, and not quite ready to sleep yet, so was looking up for a quote about drifting, and found this. And also discovered some helpful drifting links.




    drift stuff:

    What are the most popular cars used for drifting?
    The most popular and best suited drift cars have several things in common:
    • A front engine - rear wheel drive configuration
    • Decent power production
    • Well-balanced weight distribution from the factory
    • Light weight and high agility
    • A manual transmission
    BMW E30:
    Check, Check, Check, Check, Check.

    and a technique FAQ:

    i'd never seen that 5th gear vid. good compile of info BUT save a lot of time. download/watch "Drift Bible". it'll have 98% of the info you listed, in video, examples, techniques etc etc etc

    but the only way to learn this is by actually going out and burning some rubber. the E30 is a great car for this and aside from my slight autocross addiction i've had two e30s just for drifting. i'm big on weight transfer and/with shift locking (drop clutch) to initiate. search members: rwdrift and e30_gaster they have drift spec cars

    oh and merry christmas
    No more e30s for me.

      I think a lot of people have seen how E30's are great candidates for drifting now, especially with the high demand/price for common drift machines like 240's and Corollas.

      I bought my 318is after finding out how similar it is to an AE86 Corolla. I just wish the M42 had a little more aftermarket love, it's a pretty awesome engine with just a chip/cams/lightened flywheel. Hopefully a few of us here will be able to pave the way for discovering drift-oriented suspension setups.
