U___U ahem, anyhow Im not a noob per say (I still need to learn more), I wouldn't mind giving you some pointers on wheel drifting (Tetsu and Djhashbrown are in my resume ((lools)) although I'm pretty sure they got a lot more help than what i gave them).
Personally i think being the following car helps you improve a lot when learning, like the drift line, clipping points, angle, speed etc etc. Also it helps you to pinpoint characteristics of the car and the tune you're using.
I'll be online today, mmmm friend's list is full and I cant delete anyone but send me a message on my PSN not here by the way.
I usually run jdm/missile cars with around 450~550 hp and love to tandem.
About your statement that the forum is kinda dead i think is because the drift community is divided in relation to the game, like: you have drifters that don't go into Drift Trial rooms and prefer the Practice/Race (as you may know, physics are different from Drift Trial to Normal Practice/Race rooms). Also drifters that prefer the points system than joy riding and tandeming.
All this of course is personal opinion however GT5 wasn't like this, well enough with that. Good luck and Keep Drifting Fun.
