Hrm.. it has to do with the technique of going real fast into a curve, then steering quick in one direction, and countersteering to break loose the back tires. I think its done at like 70+mph.. I am not sure exactly how to do it, but maybe someone else can clarify.
You will want all the suspension upgrades you can get though if you do this, or else your wheels will just fold under the car and you'll probably flip. Strut bars, lower tie bars, sway bars, stage 2 or stage 3 suspension kit like tein, camber adjustments, fully adjustable everything... Its a tuning sport where to get a good drift competition going, you have to test and test and fine tune every aspect of your suspension.

Pretty much what wiretap said....your rear suspension set-up has to be VERY stiff. Then it's all about steer and a quick counter steer to shift the cars weight into a drift. It is the most difficult drifting technique to master......so a right turn would be a jerk of the wheel to the left, and then back to the right.

Left foot braking might work as well, but it would depend on the surface and the quality of the brakes.

Exactly . In a left corner for exemple , first quickly turn to the right then hard steer to the left , weight transfer will do the rest . If you still got too much traction on the rear , just pull swiftly on the e-brake while countersteering and opening the throttle widely

The best drifting I ever did was with a super crappy set of 3 year old worn out race tires with no tread. They were hard as rocks, useless for anything. The car drifted so well I felt like a god out there, I could get the car any which way any time. Everyone said it looked awesome. So get some crappy tires out back and go get em.
