Seems like you have a lot of bottled up anger from other people posting about how they need mass amounts of raw power to drift. I didn't mention that anywhere in my posts, only that I believe that it needs more. Personally I'll be running upwards of 300whp which is WAY MORE than enough for drifting. But drifting isn't the only thing I do with the car.
Your average Toyobaru driver isn't an expert drifter and might need more power to learn how to drift. Nobody is an pro right off the bat it balancing speed, power, body roll, suspension, etc etc.

No-one needs more power to drift. I'm not angry, I just don't like the way you post. You're the wrong person to hand out drifting advice. If anyone wants to learn to how to drift they should start on underpowered cars, and learn balance and control. Then you step up the power. That's how you get really good. Power hides the mistakes since you can mash the gas and suddenly be sliding.

Can we please keep the drift purist conversation out of this casual thread? There doesn't need to be any hating going on in here.

lolwut? You came into this thread saying "You can't really drift in this car, you need MORE POWER." Now you're saying it's a casual thread? Your words:

Just not enough power. And 15mph isn't real drifting.

Stop calling out what other people are doing as "not real." That is why I felt the need to respond to you.

On a side note: I applaud you for drifting a 100hp vehicle with an open differential. That takes skill.

Thanks, but I suck at it.
