I will start off by saying, i have been facinated by drifting ever since I first saw it with my own two eyes...
I bought gt4 and thought it was a good racing game, but thats all. Until I started to try to drift, and i found that to be a very big challenge. So i went out and bought the "900" because i thought that was my problem (i just need the wheel and it will be easy). I was dead wrong. Second I thought my cars where not good enough, so i bought the fasted, and strongest and still that wasn't good enough. Then i read ever single drift post, saw every single movie, and watched every video i could get my hands on. Basically what i'm trying to say is, its freak'n harder than it looks. To all those people that get fed up with it and just put it to the back burner, dont do it, once you start getting it, its some fun. Its 2:14 am and i'm still running laps. I forgot who said it in one of the posts, but it takes two hours a day and about two months to be somewhat decent. I've played for about 7 hours today, and i looked, and i put on 337 miles on my s2000.
Everyone puts their tricks and tips to learn how to drift, so i figured i would do the same, just to help out the next guy.
Step 1:
Buy a slow ass car or truck
Step 2:
Put the right type of tires on it
Step 3:
Get use to going around corner a little bit slower than usual (your not racing, YOUR DRIFTING)
Step 4:
When going through corner leave your foot or thumb off the gas, and just countersteer. After several hundred laps later your feet will do the talkikng for you. And you will start to feel everything people have been talking about in the 11 forum pages about drifing.
Step 5:
Baby Steps...and then just take it to the next level
Now if this is in another post somewhere, please dont make a big deal about it, or make fun of my realization, just delete the post PLEASE!!!
I attached two of my mini movies, would someone take a look and see if i'm even doing this the right way, it would save me another 337 miles on my s2000. (sorry about the quality, all i had was my palm pilot)

Again, thanks to everyone for their help!!!

SIX TIMES
So can you tell me what track and what turn your having problems with?
I salute you! The TRUENO always seems to bottom out before I can finish drifts.
