But if you want to get started, just get a set of bald tires on the rear. That's really all you need to get started. __________________

ti is not a drift car. you want something like a Nissan SX (SR20DET or CA18DET versions).
Its a sport of control and precision. I go to see it regularly now and find it more entertaining than circuit lap races. __________________

Drifting to win a "race" is retarded, but drifting is awsome if you are doing it for fun. Ive never drifted the ti but I dont doubt that you can do it. __________________

just about anything can "drift" in the classical sense of the word.. even a front wheel drive car. I more consider the sport of "drifting" to be more akin to a long controlled powerslide | | | | | 07-01-2006, 04:05 AM | #40 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Mt. Laurel, NJ Posts: 390 |

Quote: | Originally Posted by 316i compact So from now on everyone who likes drifting is because of the movie? | I like the whole drifting thing...but when the movie started coming together and stuff...I think I'm starting to dislike it... I don't want to see all these kids try to drift their mommy's FWD Camry or what not... I used to want a 240sx to try and learn how to drift...everybody laughed at me because "that car's slow going straight"... Now when I see them, they say..."I WANT A 240SX!" I got my car because it was my brother's old car... Please keep in mind that there ARE people who KNEW about drifting waaay before people made it mainstream here... -Randy  __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport. Not so stock anymore!....

i've been watching drifting for about 12 months now. i'd say the films damaged it's credibility if anything..... __________________

Atleast they've pretty much run out of "underground" motorsports to make movies with. They've done street racing, street racing with turns, and drifting. Not really anything left. __________________ -Kenny
