I’ve always loved cars, driving and drifting, even before Fast and the Furious/Tokyo Drift. But from being broke, to focusing on career to broke again and family/health issues through the last 2 decades, I never had the chance to experience the drift scene up close.

While I’m now able to afford it, my old friends are out of the car game in general and have no interest in learning to drift or hang out(I’ve offered my car as well). So I decided to start learning alone and have been for the past year and a half or so. I’m now 35 and I’ve went to every event solo. I’m finding it hard to make friends as most of the people my age have been doing it for over a decade at this point and already have their trusted circle of friends that they can drive with. Feeling like I missed the train on getting better together with some homies and driving Final Bout one day.

I think I’m just venting at this point. Here’s a video of my current progress.

Really focusing at getting better at staying close in transitions

Footage from Lebanon Valley Drift in NY a couple weeks ago getting chased by my buddy in his 350Z.

Craner Curves sideways at 80mph was no joke

First time ever out on a track, Very minimal experience driving. I’ve only played on the sim a handful of times from friends who have one and a donut here n there in my car. I’m super stoked on how i did. what do u guys think ?

Hi I wanted to know how you guys learnt how to drift? I'm from UK, I recently went to an empty carpark at 2am and practiced drifting for the first time which turned out to be a blast. I loved it but having to be sneaky and make sure I dont get police called on me can be difficult. I did it with wet terrain so the skidding tyres dont make too much noise.

Do you think it's low risk getting caught doing this at 2am in an empty sainsburys car park? 🤣🤣 Is there a better way to go around it? I also attempted a roundabout drift a few times and worked out quite well lmao.

Just wanted advice on how you guys learnt to drift xD

This happened before winning first place.

Just a couple pics of my drift Vitara with a 4AGE swap. This year I put on ITBs, a better hydro, and smaller tires and heaps of seat time and it’s working good so far to the point of breaking another t50 trans so upgrades are in the works. This winter it’s time to add some angle for next season as the only stock suspension components on the car are the front A arms and knuckles.

Hello, i have a bmw e39 530d with automatic gearbox. what would happen if i welded the diff?

I'm trying to lay off the streeto shit because I've had one too many close calls with the law but now that the season is over in Toronto I feel like I'm going to forget how to drift by the time summer rolls back around. Is there some in-between I am missing or somewhere y'all go to practice?

I just bought a 2004 g35 coupe and I’m trying to get into drifting. The thing is I have absolutely zero experience with mechanics and I kind of bought this car knowing it’d get me into it.

With that being said I need some help both knowing what to buy and what sites to buy things from.

I’m not trying to go all Tokyo drift. I just need some mods to help me get in the scene and help me not obliterate my suspension and engine

So for my bigger guys out there , what would be the best seat for someone that is 6 2 and 360lbs? what cars are you guys using?

Huge shout out to u/cuponoodles55 who recommended reaching out to the event organizers for Doricon! This was the best event I've been to yet! If you're on the East Coast you've got to check it out next year!

I've got a bunch more footage if ya'll enjoy this one.

Have been working on the perfect POV and camera setup/settings for a bit and think we finally got it.

Wanted to share 🤘

4th gear entry at Cams Acres Drift Complex

This is just a DJI Action 4 with an Amazon ND Filter

Camera Settings:

4K24FPS // Rocksteady
200 ISO // 1/50 Shutter
D-Log M Color // DJI Forest LUT

So I really want to get a E36 or E46 for a drift car but I'm pretty big. I'm 6foot 2 and 360lbs. I know I need to get an x lucket seat and flat aluminum door cards. My question is, which one would be better for someone My size and to fit in xl seat in?

Some meta glasses footage from the chase perspective, love driving with this guy and can't wait for more seat time next year🙏

Thinking of opening a proper drifting academy/community in Bangalore. Suggestions?

Please leave a like and comment on what you thought of the video!

I recently got my first RWD (an 86) and have been playing around ways to slide the car as is.

would you recommend clutch kicking or hand brake more for a low powered car like this? I found kicking the clutch feels more natural to me, although i’ve gotten a lot of feedback and suggestion that I should be using the hand brake more.

Also do i need to put any immediate mods to learn drifting or a stock 86 is sufficient enough?

Sorry for the noob questions. i’m a long Honda and FWD fan and this is my first RWD.
