Agreed... Oh and Manji is "Lift off Oversteer" I think? Or am i getting confused with Clutch popping? .... no wait Its Lift off oversteer lol.... My head is about to explode as well lol...
 
For a left hand turn, I'd initiate a drift by steering to the right hard for a second, and then jerk the wheel all the way around to the left. Once all the weight has transferred back (Less than two seconds), I hit the brake (NOT the E-Brake!) and this causes the back end to swing around. Then I begin countersteering, with the wheel turned to the right.

I've actually never managed to successfully start a drift using the e-brake. WHat usually happens is the car will start pointing in the direction I want to turn, but still travels in a straight line.

I've always wondered though...what is the technical definition of drifting? If I oversteer in such a way that the front wheels are pointing straight ahead (Steering wheel is centered), but the car is still turning and negotiating a turn perfectly, is that drifting? Is that really an effective way to corner? All 4 tires are sliding, so I'd imagine all 4 of them would be slowing down the car.
 
That's four wheel drifting A La 4WD no countersteer drifting. How does it work you say?
The torque up front make's up for the lack of counter-steering, Ask FI or SD or NK They will have the answers...

Yeah...but I'm pulling it off on FR cars, not 4WDs.

It is possible to get a very low to no countersteer drift in a RWD, but there is no point... In RWD's the front wheels guide the car through the drift. They trace the corner in the direction you want to travel through the drift... So, the better and more accurately you countersteer the smoother and more controlled your drifts will be... This of course does not apply to AWD's which use the power of the front wheels to do what countersteering normally would...


;)
 
if your not countersteering, then you angle most likely isnt very good/big. Are you tring to imitate initial d?
 
nope, i'm poor. I do have a old Live for speed vid. but u probably dont care about that game.
 
OK OK I'm a membere of the Australia Drifting Massage Board that do drifting and they said to me never do an e-brake drift unless you use an FF. The best way is to lernd to drive, then learn to drive fast then learn to find out how much ya car brakes and then leard to time you OS to work in for the drift and I been reading about drifting for some time. The trouble with e-break is that it to much for the tyers.

E brake is a last resort thats if you start too early or too late, its is also used for extending your drifts
