This is first time learning to get sideways in a stick super noob, I know the general concept just not with a stick :/
That's pretty much the general idea with the handbrake drift. Obviously gotta fit counter steer in there somewhere. Honestly though, this car isn't impossible to drift with just a jab of throttle, especially in the wet. In fact, even an aggressive turn-in can get the wheels starting to break loose. Brake into corner, heel-toe into 3rd or 2nd (depending on how fast you're going and the turn itself), turn a bit more aggressively than usual and get on the gas a bit eariler than usual. Easy peasy you're sideways.

Attend a track day where they're teaching drifting techniques and you should pick it up in no time. Just don't do it on active public streets. Safety first!
