its sad people memorize sayings from that movie... the only saying i remember is "you owe me a 10 second car"

Figuring I was bored, I searched to come across this:

Drifting Techniques


Kansei Drift- this is performed at race speeds, when entering a high speed corner a driver lifts his foot off the throttle to induce a mild over steer and then balances the drift through steering and throttle motions. Note that the car that is being used for this style of drift should be a neutral balanced car therefore the over steer will induce itself. If the car plows through any turn this technique will not work.

Braking drift- this is performed by trail braking into a corner, then loss of grip is obtained and then balance through steering and throttle motions. Note that this is mainly for medium to low speed corners.

Faint Drift- this is performed by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the rebound of grip to throw the car into the normal cornering direction. Note that this is heavy rally racing technique used to change vehicle attitudes during cornering, mainly tight mountain corners.

Clutch Kick- this is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during a mild drift, then pop the clutch to give a sudden jolt through the driveline to upset rear traction.

Shift Lock- this is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer. This is like pulling the E-brake through a turn - note that this should be performed in the wet to minimize damage to the driveline, etc.

E-Brake Drift- this technique is very basic, pull the E-Brake or (side brake) to induce rear traction loss and balance drift through steering and throttle play. Note that this can also be used to correct errors or fine tune drift angles.

Dirt Drop Drift- this is performed by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. Note that this technique is very useful for low horsepower cars.

Jump Drift- in this technique the rear tire on the inside of a turn or apex is bounced over a curb to lose traction resulting in oversteer.

Long Slide Drift- this is done by pulling the E-brake through a strait to start a high angel drift and to hold this to set up for the turn ahead. Note that this can only be done at high speed.

Swaying Drift- this is a slow side-to-side faint like drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a strait.

FF Drift- or front wheel drive drift. The E-brake as well as steering and braking techniques must be used to balance the car through a corner. Note that the E-brake is the main technique used to balance the drift.

Power Over- this performed when entering a corner and using full throttle to produce heavy oversteer (tail slide) through the turn. Note that you need horsepower to make this happen.


There ya go! Thanks go to Slow for giving me the idea for my 3 minute search.

I think everyone is going off topic from the originally idea. This topic is dead.

hehe this one is fun. i did kind of a mixture between the kansei (AKA lift-off drift), the feint, and the jump drift at the last autocross we had...

the course was setup for a long WOT 2nd gear pull leading up to a left lane change, immediatly following the left lane change you swing a right corner that goes up a quick hill and back down, on the other side of the slope is a wide swinging left hander coined "showcase corner", then a final right hander past the finish.
-i took the line through the left lane change and kept the revs up,lifted up off the gas and then jammed it just before entering the right hander up the hill and initiated a very low angle slide heading up the hill, feinted the wheel and utilizing the weight shift from the down hill, cocked the weight back over the right tires and did a slightly larger angled slide (pretty close to a low speed drift) around the showcase corner, and then slide through the last right hander past the finish line. ended up 4th at the event hehe i got out of my car and was "holy hell that was sweet"

It's "feint" drift people... ;P

Anyone without track experience and/or a good solid RWD car and a wide open parking lot shouldn't even try to get into the drifitng scene. You're just gonna end up jacking up your cars, possibly yourselves, and possibly others. It's not an easy thing where you can just get in the car and go.

First off... if you don't have LSD... don't try anything fast. You're just gonna end up sliding and spinning out of control. If you don't know the techniques, as in pull them off nearly every try... practice them alone in a parking lot before trying to show off with them. My AE86s both drift, they're both set-up (one for track one for drift), and they both scare the hell out of me because even with my years of track and autoX... it's a whole new ballgame and I just don't have a lot of practice time.

This thread have improved alot.
Now it have useful information vs before with the gay bashing.
