:D lol.... thats always happen on me when i drift. when i carry people in car....

yea really driftin is about the driver. any rwd car can be drifted.when i first bought my supra. my friends said i couldnt drift it, i got it dropped, some suspension bars and now i drift like 240s. if you want to drift easily get a 240. but if you want some power , speed and be able to drift get a supra(turbo haha ). supras are definetly not easy to drift. it takes lots of practice.

hmmmm.... my old supra would drift without having to hit the handbrake. it was fun as hell (hence forth purchasing #3) but if i mistreated the throttle i'd spin out mighty fast. as for her being fat...well maybe she's just a lil' thick.... ;)

Lol drifting a supra that's way tooooooo hard. now if anyone can then i will personal bow down to them!!!!!

Bow down to me ,my supra ,my 240sx, my friends supra, and my dog :P

i'm only just starting to learn to drift my old mans one, all of it is power oversteer, and it's only sitting above 300bhp, will let you know for sure after saturday. it ain't that hard, getting it to balance is a bit harder, but ask most of my mates here in nz that have been for a ride, i ain't even that good, and they think it's great. like people say, want to cheat and do it easily, get a nissan, want to do it with style, get a supra.

:blink: :D

See i am just getting good at drifting (a lot of dumb mistakes and close calls) and all of you who don't rip on the E-brake aren't having fun.....You can do it fairly easy with or without the E-brake, but practice makes perfect(i took out a road work sign one time....no dent thank god) Lower the thing a few inches and tear out dead weight and you will go sideways like nobodys business....I have drifted in two other cars an RX-7(best friend's car) and a 240sx(Girlfriend's car) and honestly after a little work the Supra will dominate the 240sx and hang with an RX-7(lots o practice and suspension and power mods)....As well she demolishes them straight away....

ok, to drift, you don't want body roll, as that will plant a tire and stop the drift. Also, I wouldn't recomend using the E-brake on a supra, unless you want to replace the shoes, and they aren't cheap. Also, drifting is done with power, so you can smoke em.

What you need, is a stiff suspension, LSD, lots of power, and lot of experience to do it. Drifting is cool, but tires aren't cheap :(

AMEN to that....i just enjoy the E-Brake because its more fun yeah....but lower her get some better stiff suspension...and yes he is right shoes aren't cheap...

Ive drifted in all kinds of supras. i even went to some touge places around here. all u need is an adjustable LSD or 2-way LSD, get some good suspensions, weak, thick stock tires for the back, and try to make ur car as light as possible, if u wanna learn the technique in how to drift, u should watch the movie "The Drift Bible" it will teach u alot of stuff...Good Luck

hey man i went 2 tha atlanta d1 grand prix(formula D) it was awsome dude. i saw tha supra and it was a BAD ASS drifte rbut i wouldnt drift it cuz iza sux and its 2 damn fay tho it has plenty o power...dont drift it or race it at big industries cuz can u say crash and burn :ph34r: :( i learned tha hard way :o :o ohh shit!!!

you can drift any thing...
 

supra's are an easy car to drift in my opion,

currently i am driving an 84 celica gt, it has a 5 link in it with a lsd out of a hylux, the w58 tranny and a 2.5l sohc 4 banger... making about 100 horse...

in the rain this car is like driving a high power sports car...


and weight effects this car dur to not enough power to rip the back tires lose with more then 2 people. in the dry....


like said earilyer, it's about how you aproach the corner...

i deliver pizza and belive me when you take the same corner 30 times a day you learn aproach and departure presidures, along with down shifting before entering corners.

when it rains and im out in the rich neiborhoods that have those circile things in the 4 way stops, drop to first grab second and slide around it once or twice before heading back to work....



any ways i gotta stop blabbing...


im looking for a 92 toyota supra perferably black or blue.... all conditions considered... perferably on the west coast, north west if possible...
e-mail me at pimptrizkit@comcast.net

hey have you tryed it on wet pave ment or gravel?... if u do it on gravel make sure there isn't any ditches that drop down a good 4ft around i had a bad expearince with that the other night ;) i survived tough...

MK2's and the celicas from those years are easy to drift. I love my MK2 for that reason. The MK3's (and I presume the MK4's) are a lot tougher -- but still doable

mk4's with a good suspension setup and a lot of weight shaving will get the job done...the reason an mk4 and mk3 is hard to initially drift is because of its stock weight...taking out the rear seats is a good start, as well as all the amenities you dont need like a/c, radio...some bum tried to sell me a 240sx drift car with a full radio setup and a body kit, but not suspension or anything related to drifting....i obviously dint but it...i might as well start drifting my supra... but i wanna get the motor tuned properly before hand...dont wanna mess anything up

Drift or die>>>>
 

:bouncy:yeah man me here in sanjo i have a 84 supra and i just crash it in mt. hamellto n here in san jose nee hellp w/ my case and hope we have meets here in san jose u know

i believe in you on that. i pretty its a good setup that you have. same on here. hardly use E-brake... i got a 85 mk2 supra turbo.... pretty much i do double clutch n double gas..... n i hardly use E-Brake... i believe for what you said. peace out.

i have a friend who got a mk4 n/a turbo... oh men... its not that good in drifting... to me it seens like the body is to heavy or something.. or maybe not lots of hp... or something is wrong with it... so i havent experience with the mk4 so dont know much. but like i said. i have a friend with the 95 supra n/a turbo.... after drifting the mk4 i didnt like it as much as my mk2 turbo. so i think the mk4 is taugher then the mk2..... n now i working on my 76 toyota celica rwd. swapt in the 7mgte. on it... n still learn how to drift on the old scoop celica....

I've never driven a mk4, but my friends say that the stock mk3 suspension is way better for drifting than the mk4 cuz the mk3 suspension likes to throw out the rear end (just get on a dirt road at a moderate speed and take some easy turns; you'll feel it, and if you're like me you'll love it!).
About weight, how much do the rear seats weigh? With a full tank, my mk3 weighs over 3700 pounds (certified scale). (It weighs more than my mom's mercury sable!). How much weight can i take out, and how much will it help my drifting?

i drift in my 86 surpra just fine p)

They Drift Wicked
 

hey wats up i have a 1986 NA supra and i agree they are absolute crap to drift..... when its dry :naughty: but believe me as soon as the raindrops start a fallin im out on the road busting out on a wet day i cn pull some of the sickest drifts. so yeah i would say they are a wicked car to drift. oh and on top of that from behind the fat arse of a supr looks pretty awesome on a 45 degree angle (i know cos my mate has a supra 2)

check your tire pressures; when I started driving my mkIII my tires looked a little low, but a guy i know said they were fine, that they would heat up. I left it alone and started having fun when i got used to the car. I had some trouble drifting, but i could do it. when my car was in the shop have some work done on it (front end got knocked off alignment), i had the guy check the pressure: 19.5 psi.
Sooo.....i bumped it up to 32 psi (normal tire pressure) and went and had a blast! I couldn't stop drifting it was so easy. (unfortunately, though, i live in a small town of 15k people, and the best drift spots around are in the middle of the rich and snooty neighborhood, so i go drifting in random spurts and bugger out before the cops are notified.

drifting
 

i noticed that when i drift i usulay pull hand brake give more gas. youl notice ur back end will kik to the side, when it does that u jus turn the steering wheel to the side u want to go to. make sure u practise this in a open area. i actualy knw couple of ppl that died from doing this, so be very care full. and rember practise makes perfect.

but the other cars on the road make for fun moving obstacles....

im sure they make good money pits too... im gonna stick to the empty roads...or should i say slide with the empty roads

yea don't be stupid. scared the bejesus out of an on-coming subaru one day ... took off up the road sideways and all i think he saw was my passanger side door :eek:

hahaha you dont need to be a fr you can drift a ff its called a e brake

mkII drifter
 

i agree u don't necessarily need a FR car to drift but yanking the E-brake in a FF car just doesnt have the same feeling and i think its harder to control too. i've got an '84 MKII (3300lbs.)with 213k on the pretty much stock (home modified exhaust) 2.8 and as long as u kno how to drive u dont need to pull the E-brake to even get it to kick around i go to lincoln tech in indianapolis and there are a bunch of kids with 180sx, 240sx, 280z, and even a couple of 300z s that are badass and then there is my MkII and 2 MKIII supras and the mkIIIs are a lot bigger all around than my mkII the kids with the nissans like to talk shit about toyotas or did until me and one of the mkIII owners went out with the nissans and my old-ass stock 2.8 5spd MKII kicked the shit out of the nissans and this is on dry pavement and 2 of the 240s have had RB25 skyline engine swaps im just saying if u truly kno how to drive u can do amazing things with any car and screw nissans too, long live the supra!

that would have been sweet to see or have on tape

Just new here... But been drifting my GA70 Supra for around 2 years.... this car is hugely under powered in comparison to ma70's and jza70's, but with a few mods it has enough power.

As long as you learn to use the handbrake and throttle control properly it drifts fine.

Also you need some decent Coilovers... I use HSD HR type

Competed twice in comp of about 24 cars and got knocked out in tandem battle both times in the top 6. So These cars can drift with the right add ons...

Boost, Coilovers, reduce some weight, strut bars... etc

ay where do most of u guys live?

Australia :)

Using the clutch
 

You will notice you can drift just about any car.
I been drifting my ma70 ever since i bought it last year from ebay. This is my technique, works to well - safe to cause its done at low speeds - aprouch corner slowly in second gear untill revs are all the way down - clutch in - quickly rev engine to high revs - then quickly release clutch as you go around corner to get a quick boost, but not to quick otherwise the car will spin - alot of people assume my cars turboed, considering how controlled and sideways i can get it, especially in the wet.
Just resently my right hand wheel bearings collapsed, due to to many right hand drifts, so just remember drifting comes at a price.
I enjoy drifting more in the wet - you can get more sideways and for longer - and it puts less stress on your car - unless you hit a tree offcourse.
Remember the more power you have on your back wheels around corners - the more controlled you are thats why i don't hand brake around corners - cause its damn dangerous.
Heel Toe Shifting
Learn proper race shifting to get your car into the right gear for drifting. Includes double clutch shifting.

Power Over
This performed when entering a corner and using full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. You need horsepower to make this happen.

E-Brake Drift
This technique is very basic, pull the E-Brake or side brake to induce rear traction loss and balance drift through steering and throttle play. This can also be used to correct errors or fine tune drift angles. Main drift technique used in FWD vehicles.

Clutch Kick
This is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during a mild drift, then the clutch is "popped" to give a sudden jolt through the driveline to upset rear traction.

Shift Lock Drift
This is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer. This is like pulling the E-brake through a turn, but this should be performed on wet ground to minimize damage to the driveline.

Dirt Drop Drift
This is performed by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. This technique is very useful for low horsepower cars. Do not attempt this technique at the Drift Session.

Feint Drift
This is performed by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the rebound of grip to throw the car into the normal cornering direction. This is heavy rally racing technique used to change vehicle attitudes during cornering.

Jump Drift
In this technique the rear tire on the inside of a turn or apex is bounced over a curb to lose traction resulting in over steer. Do not attempt this technique at the Drift Session.

Braking Drift
This is performed by trail braking into a corner. Loss of grip is obtained and then balanced through steering and throttle motions. This is mainly for medium to low speed corners.

Kansei Drift
This is performed at race speeds. When entering a high speed corner a driver lifts his foot off the throttle to induce a mild oversteer and then balances the drift through steering and throttle motions. The car that is being used for this style of drift should be a neutral balanced car therefore the oversteer will induce itself. If the car plows through any turn this technique will not work.

Long Slide Drift
This is done by pulling the E-brake through a strait to start a high angel drift and to hold this to set up for the turn ahead. This technique can only be done at high speed.

Swaying Drift (Choku-Dori)
This is a slow side-to-side faint like drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a strait.

felow drifters
 

FELOW drifters a car w/ 4 wheels n a tire n engine ? drifts! anyway me as a owner of a mk2 supra celica i drift w/ that shit man tell u this my frnds who who a ae86 toyota trueno he was like man how do u drift w/ that thing ? n i say man it has a lsd so nothing 2 woryabout anyway my point is supra drifts but u got to have the spirit

hi ther
 

1jz its a engine r8t do u tink it would fit 2 my mkII supra celica 84 i need a response w/ this coz im planing 2 buy a engine t.y

San Jose
 

YEAH DRifters ME representing SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA HEY do any ob u guys know whens a meet up for drifter w/ MK's;)

hahahaha.....i can just see a jap dude saying that while is going sideways and 120km! hahahah

they are the shit that does not stink! lol GO JAP!

it wasnt too hard for me except i was in a rainy parking lot. i was going about 5 mph, tached it up a bit, dropped the clutch and cut the wheel, then tapped the e-brake a bit. i drifted quite a bit cause the parking lot was kinda down hill. its defenitely possible to drift a supra but it is a bit tricky. especially with speed. i suggest buying the movie drift bible. it gets realllly into depth on how to drift. it shows you every technique.

drifting my supra
 

hi everyone.i own a 1988 supra 3lt none turbo.let me tell you its a fantastic drift car,i can drift it on any track.i take it to javelin track days.im always the best drifter there ,and thats no bull shit,i can send you photos to prove it.its a standered car.just running coilovers.people who cant drift a supra must be muppits.its as good as any nissan 200.its no about power.its the way you put it into the corner.clive@spaldingmarsh.wanadoo.co.uk
