Definitely have to be extra careful in the rain since its RWD and a lightweight car.

Seriously, do you feel you want to do that slide again? This thing can get addictive.

I always want to try drifting (Initial-D is one of my favorite anime), maybe after I have more seat time on the track. |

My first RWD was a 5speed S13. I never got into drifting, but it was pretty damn fun to give it a little gas every now and then around a turn after a recent rain...
However, the first time my tail end (unintentionally) lost traction was around a turn in a 98 gmc sierra. That was not fun. My boxer's didn't appreciate it either. So, yeah, it's fun to slide around, until you don't mean to, then it's just scary. Please be careful everyone! |

This is my first RWD car as well. I granny the shit out of it when making turns in the rain. You can never be too careful...

Oversteer FTW!! lol
When you not expecting it, it can lead to skidmarks in your trousers. My first RWD was a Toyota Hilux. Loved drifting that thing in the rain. Then on to my MR2 Spyder (turbo). Snap oversteer on that is crazy. No driver aids besides ABS. The 86 is much more forgiving. I also dont drive with driver aids on. I hold down those 2 buttons as soon as I start up. |

I don't know why but I'm always drifting when it rains. I actually like it, even though it's scary as hell haha. This morning (was raining pretty hard), I made a really fast turn in 3rd at around 40 mph and almost did a 130 degree spin. It was scary but extremely fun! Cool thing was that a cop was at the red light looking at me and eventually caught up to me and gave me a thumbs up lol. Best cop experience ever. I'm in no way into drifting or anything at all but every once in a while, I like to get tail happy haha.

Obligatory "keep it on the track", "keep the nannies on while it's raining", etc. comment.

I also like to shift before or after long turns especially the downshifts.
