i have been informed that drifting takes sides against your car. what does drifting induce? is there a way to decrease stress taken aganist your car? is there a certain decreasing stress drift?

thanks.

 

I think drifting is just plain hard on the car, suspension, transmission, engine, just everything. Thats why all the pros are sponsored.

 

I had been drifting my evo for about 5 months now, the only dowwnsides i saw are quick tire wear and alignments being massively off. Clutch still grabs ok and tranny still shift smoothly.

 

it's just plain hard on the entire car. wouldn't reccomend it unless you got a lot of money, or use a cheapy car for drifting.

 

Less grip=less stress...go to a hard tire or a slicker surface. Practice will make you smoother and therefore less stressfull on the car in general

 

Agree. You should fine some really cheap all-season tires. Drifting w/ Advans can be really hard on the car.

 

why would you drift an evo?it's awd.there is no drifting about this car

 

If you wanna drift pick up a nice and cheap AE86 or a nissan 240sx, basically anything rear wheel-drive, and older than 2000. Don't wanna go messing up a nice car that costs a fortune to fix.

 

drifting began with AWD cars.

Yeah, there is, it's just completely different style

 

^^^I agree, when i started drifting it on stock advans AO46, its just plain hard on the car because you have to restle the steering just to loose traction. Use cheap all-weather tires and the car will drift in one flick on the steering. I only do it maybe twice a week though in a controlled parking lot with some friends, its just fun doing all wheel drifts.

 

Yes its true that drifting will take its toll on the car sooner or later, also if your horse power is up to like 350 or more whp you have a better chance at drifting an AWD w/what ever kind of tires ; but I will recomend that you do get some all season tires , get in a controlled area like a very large parking lot: learn to drift their first then take it to the streets . but remember while drifting don't ever break stay on it during a drift and take control of the situation , [ - have fun and be safe - ] 356hp 22 lbs on pump , & 12.2@108mph 22lbs on 116 octane

 

Only longterm downside I can see from drifting would be the gear backlash on the transfercase, from the opposing movement of the wheels. Unless you got ACD

 

sorry fellas drift noob here.i just wouldn't try and drift with my evo
