look everybody lets jsut end it before we reach 1,000 pages, FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CARS CANNOT DRIFT think about drifting is sliding sideways around a turn, can front wheel cars do that? no they would grip unless u have alot of HP and bald rear tires so you could slide but still i have never seen a front wheel drive car drift around one turn. if it was a S turn then they can do that cuz it would the car would whip in the other direction and be able to slide at the end of the S turn. Anyway just my opinion. :bigthumb:

I think I've done it on accident... Or maybe that was more of a powerslide,
Or a peel-out while already moving. What I did was just hit the clutch while in a turn and coasted while rounding the corner, then I gave it a little too much gas as I let it out and surprise I wasn't moving where I was pointing. I don't know about drifting. I also thought this car was too heavy for that, atleast without turbo, so it is quite possible that I did something else. For the record, my car is an '82 5mge mostly stock from what I can tell. My suspension is CD-Skipping, Soda-Spilling, Teeth-Grinding stiff but it's great at cornering. My question for you sidewinders is about interiors. I heard the key to getting sideways is losing weight. My interior is thrashed and I'm looking for stuff to restore it. Anybody want to make a couple bucks for stuff you don't want lemme know. Like I said, I have an '82. She's an L-type with burgundy interior. My plastic is chipped all to hell, the vinyl on the dash is sunbaked and I could use some new carpets. You wanna get rid of any of this stuff? Lemme know. Thanx -B |

and im still able to drift with the car if skylines, mustangs, chargers, can do it, and those are heavy cars our supras can too even without turbo they got n/a ae86 corollas, drifting against s15's , vipers and big hp cars it all comes down to technique and how well do you know your car's capabilities, and your boundaries as a driver too |
The problem with supras is steering angle. The wheels dont turn enough. Everyone says the key to drifting is steering angle :)

maybe pull on the ebrake a little more harder maybe a little more gas here and there we'll see what we can get lol |
u can put spacers on the inner end of ur tie-rods. this should give you about 10% more angle. i think the machined spacers that they sell for 86's fit our tie rods, but any properly sized spacers/washers should do the trick. the spacers i have are for a corolla. they're about 5/16ths of an inch thick

industrial parks are the way to go mang

today i stole my own supra and tryied just to see if my e-brake worked and for some reason i barly felt it brake. how would you go about fixing that?

its not a bad idea if its a weekend car but that will eat up tires unevenly and like isph said it'll mess up the alignment |
i drifted in my supra before it was a hell of a rush i had some guy chasing me cause my friend threw an egg on his windshield and we were at a stop sign and he came up to my left and tried to block me and i just looked at him and my friends were like GOOO!!!! i pressed the ECU to pwr, turned right onto a road and floored it. My rear fish tailed a bit and there was a left and right only commin up i turned right cause i knew how to get out of that neighborhood that way. When i turned right i went close to the right curb and turned the wheel to the left and started to slide and counter steered and floored it man it slid like a dream! i drifted again after that. i pulled a linked drift down a whole road i was reaching speeds to about 50 in a 30 mph zone and then i came up to a busy road and the light was green for me as i was comming up to it. i looked in my mirror to see if he was still chasing and he was kinda far away i'd say about 4-6 car lengths. I anticipated the turn and the small level increase and pulled it off!! slid around the corner onto the busy road and made evassive manuevers to lose the guy. Afterwards me and my friends stopped at my house to check out the car and talk about it. Till this day there are still skid marks where i drifted. In my spare time i drive down the same way i lost the guy and re-live it. Its amazing what a person is capable off under pressure, i put all my knowledge of drifting and manuevering to the ultimate test. It was either i got in an accident (which i knew i wouldnt get into) or get caught by the guy and call the cops. That is what i loved about my 88 N/A.

Rx7s and Rx8s dont have enough torque to hold a drift well.

Drifting teqniques.
There are couple of drifting teqniques i use... the easiest one is the handbrake. but you can try to powersteer it. when approaching a turn, steer the opposite way then steer into the turn hard and pop the clutch, make sure not to do this on a skinny or busy road cause you might slide out too far the first couple of times. if you have any more question email me and i will gladly explain more tecniques.

a short clip of a MK3 driftin
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rOiwsmnZ2oA another clip http://youtube.com/watch?v=pXteES3XV...elated&search= nice:drool: |
BOO! 1js suck! :bouncy: Lol. j/p. I put some serious thought into having one as a daily driver after I build my 7M. O and I like that huge ass wing on the first one. :squint:

Hi everyone here on this site; after I read all yours, just wanted to share some info with all the members who are interested in Supra drifting.
I worked for a motorsports company before and am responsible for building cars for my customers. This white 94' MKIV is my favorite project and of course, the owner of this Supra is my personal friend as well. Here is a link of the video we recorded during some practices, hope you all enjoy it. Btw, Supra has a nice platform to drift; it's not an easy car by anymeans, but just I wanted to clearfy all that misunderstanding of people saying Supra is not a "good drift car." There are only "Bad Drivers," but not "Bad Cars." People tend to blame on tools before they even understand how a tool work~~~ hope you all like this car~~ http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...40137568313748 |
how to slid3 $Upra
welll just practive in the rain in a open parking lot and or practice in dirt so that u get the feeling of your car and just practice diffrent techniques, if its automatic or in the dry ground it will be really ahrd and if it has a stock diff
|
crippin: that's just stupid. learn how to type properly.
|
happy now boiiiiiiii i change mt text style no more complaints
|
Just one thing. search for some videos of drifiting crash. They are all idiots(or ricers) trying to drift their cars or something on the street, even a guy with an 03 cobra ends up crashing into standstill traffic pn streetfire. I dont mean to sound like a webcop but please dont try this stuff on public roads lol. Not to mention the wreckless driving ticket youll get if caught.

i drive my mk3, and drift it too
but i got into a s14, and comparing the two, its not so easy drifting an mk3 its easy to get sideways, you can do that with any car, but being sideways doesnt really count as drifting try getting a deep angle on a high speed drift with the mk3 a spin-out is almost emminent |
Well i wanna start driftin asap n i found that with full exhaust n an intercooler kit i have enough power to get the ass out. i've recently fixed my boost problem when i replaced my ct-26 turbo n got the intercooler kit. all i need is practice n bein that im in a agricultural state theres alot of empty roads for me to practice!:dance: im gonna compete in october in an amature drift comp in which i hope to spin out like a champ n take a prize.:x:

The same reason why people drift Cressidas! It's a RWD car. So what it's expensive! People drift BMW's! NOW THAT'S EXPENSIVE!! If you have the money and the means, why not?! I'm gonna drift my Supra cuz I wanna be different than almost EVERYBODY on the drift scene.
I'm drifting mine because a Supra will stand out, look and sound good drifting. And because no one really does it. Btw, I can find parts for cheap AND get work done on it for cheap or do it myself. Plus it's the ONLY RWD car I have. And even if I had a 240, I would STILL drift my Supra... |
So what about the whole posi deal, dont you need yo get an LSD or something?
|
I just picked up a 1986.5 Toyota Supra MKIII and took it drifting the frst night I got it..
It drifts just fine. It's doesn't have any modifications done to it, although mine does have LSD. I didn't seem to have any troubles getting it sideways at all. If you are trying to learn how to drift start out by going at night when/after it rains that way it's a little more slick. I went to empty industrial areas at about 12-2 am. Start stopped in an open spot and have the wheel turned all the way (left or right doesn't matter) give it some gas until the tires break and start getting used to oversteer! That start try to do small cookies and larger cookies and keep them going for a while just to get the hang of it. Than move on to a corner, make sure nothing is close so you don't get bad oversteer or understeer and crash into something. If you don't feel confident in doing something that DONT DO IT YET!! It's not worth wrecking your Supra! Hope this helps.. This is how my friend tought me so hopefully it'll help you too! |

It should be pretty easy if you have the power:) |
when i first got my mk2 i was wondering how hard it would be and after a couple trys it turned out to be easy...tho it needs more room then a s13 or a ae86 its pretty easy to pitch sideways...
|
i just rev it out dump the clutch and let off real quick and my ass slides around like nobodies business just gotta whip it good im on stock suspension and some 235 45 17s with a n/a
|

Ok so now knowing you can drift a supra what are the best mods you can do to a stock supra in order to get it sideways. Thanks
|
better the steering angle.suspension and lighten up the load.to much weight loss in the rear and you'll just spin out, so try and keep it as balanced as possible. and little more hp never hurts.
