I have been trying lol. seems to understeer alot for me. and in the rain, well good things did not happen in the rain.
anyone have any advice? just keep practicing? different tires? get some arms and a better alignment?
i feel like i should be able to get it sideways no easily but enough if i get good enough. its the only thing keeping me from upgrading

I have been known to drift the occasional corner.

The only known casualty so far is a bag of popcorn.

Go to an event and practice. Much different than streets. Your learning curve will be much higher by practicing at sanctioned events

There are videos available on how to. I used to simply clutch kick my 240 but a lot of people use speed or handbrake it. Since I am still in break in period I have only handbraked it so far. Worked great.

Why'd you choose FRS if you prefer sticking to the road? There are plenty of other sport cars that grip better.

Like what for $25k? I think there are zero. I'm already generating more grip than much more expensive "sports cars" at autoX with a few simple mods.

I don't think you don't know what you're talking about. How much racing do you do?

SP86 · 05-29-2013, 06:57 PM

Something like that, but more so a hybrid style (grip-drift)..I hardly ever use the handbrake really not my forte. As of right now it's not in an fr-s but an 86 Starion snail powered so when I do get into one of these I'll be changing up the dynamics a little. Luckily the weight distribution in both are identical so that's a good start.

I really want to learn to, I just haven't had the opportunity.

i have drifted my frs and i honestly like my s13 better. Its definitely a fun car to drift but i use to modified knuckles and the frs doesnt hang haha. Possibly once i get coils and what not ill have fun but for right now its ok.

Yes! I love the S13 for drifting. It's much more customizable platform and they sound a lottt better when you hear them revving up high and tearing up tires. The FRS is like a baby compared to the S-chassis or the original AE86 in drifting. I give it about 5 years until the FRS/BRZ will be at the level of the S-chassis. The thing that kills is the lack of aftermarket besides simple bolt ons.

i did fine in my sohc coupe with an aggressive cam and full exhaust lol this thing has plenty of power for what it is and just needs suspension and i would be satisfied. yeah 400whp would be cool but i got to remind myself that its a daily and maybe an occasional track day.
