drfiting celicas Options

[unionbay101]

is there any way you can drift a celica 95 gt stock? and if there isent how can you modify the engine so that you can break the wheels

[bccentaur3]

Maybe power sliding but our cars are front wheel drive so its going to be pretty damn hard.

[j0e_p3t]

its not about the engine, its about the drivetrain. you'll never get the rear tires to spin in a fwd car. convert to rwd/awd.

[Defgeph]

You own a auto-x machine not a drifter. Buy a awesome set of sticky tires tighten up your suspension, and head to your local auto cross event. You'll totally forget about this "drifting" you speak of.

Ummmm .... let most of the air out of the rear tires ??? and use the parking brake ??? j/k fwd and drifting are basically mutually exclusive (in terms of proper "drifting" as opposed to just bringing the rear around) .... think about it...

[bccentaur3]

Just go Auto Xing. Theres no way in hell you'd be able to get your rear wheels to keep spining for the drift to continue, unless you want to drop a load of money to customize it where you can. At that point you might as well buy a drift car.

did someone just watch tokyo drift,lol if u want a drifter find a differnet car,celicas if u havent noticed arent the lightest most fragile cars in the world,the only thing i can think of it to pull the parking brake and turn like hell..lol good luck and dont die.

[praetor]

lol, did anyone else notice that half the cars in tokyo drift were fwd? i wanted to walk out 10mins into that movie...

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

yea thats funny cuz alot of the cars made exhaust sounds that they dont make in real life either in that movie

so..basic answer..yes you can drift a celica. Not easily but you can. Get a set of sticky tires on the front, some mostly bald tires on the rear, over steer like a mofo and get ready to keep your rpms high and your hand on the e-brake. Essentialy front wheel drive drifting is just oversteering so much that your back end comes loose, and using your e-brake to start your rear end sliding and powering out of the turns using the engines power. Its essentialy doing power over drifts with ur back end completely loose. I wouldnt recomend drifting a fwd car though. you will burn up tires, e-brake shoes, probably snap a few cabels and most likely bend up your rear controll arms.

EDIT:
There is a 6th gen drit video from japan some where on youtube that ive seen b4...you might wanna search it out.

FWD cars don't drift, they power slide. And you'd need a LOT more power than a stock gt and bald tires before it even got fun. Like everyone else is saying...if you want to keep the celica, learn to auto cross. If you want to drift, get a different car.

drifting is gheyyy, lol..u want 2 drift buy my car...10k gets u a skyline powered s14

[Tigawoods]

this is the 3rd of 4th vid ive watched, in all of them the cars had either steelies or some sort of black rim in the back to it is harder to notice that the rear tires are locking up

[stephen_lee]

i tried to drift my celi a few times. it doesn't quite work. plus i really streached my e brake cables out. not a good idea. i find it more fun to haul ass around corners anyway. this car handles amazing stock.. my next plan is coilovers, sway, and strut bars. see what that does

If it is a drift

i used to get the back end out on my old celica rather well whilst attempting to drift but it does wreck your hand brake (parking brake) and its not really proper drifting cos you can't get the back end to swing back round in the other direction like a rwd. not as controlled as a rwd i don't think either imo.

guys, please just let this thread die its usless death it deserves.
unless its converted to RWD, your not "drifting" your celica...your just dragging your tailend around.

I don't want agree with you. Don't you call IT drifting?

From wikipedia:

A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right), and the driver is controlling these factors.

i would.
when you can control your FWD car, in a DRIFTING state, video it, and post it.
make sure its on a track.
