Supra's Drifting

[JP_SPEC]

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?

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.

Drifting Technique

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 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

then floor it

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.

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
