I hope you're doing this far away from any solid obstructions or people. My dad's coworker damaged his WRX doing that on the construction site :rollseyes:

Moving to driving techniques.

Hmmmm, I did that the other night for the first time, I've got a WIDE opening to my street, slightly sloped. Front wheel drive 95 Lancer Coupe... Got the back end all the way out... not too far cus it was my first time... about 45degree's and yeah, I need to learn how to not over correct my steering.

A friend of mine tried one in an old datsun into my driveway. Hello Tree! Not a hard hit, just a small dint above the headlight.

you should try tray drifting, thats funnn

or u can go in reverse up to about 30 mph then turn the wheel as far as it'll go left or right(whichever you choose) and then while ur doing that pull the ebrake, you'll do a full 180, pop it into first gear really quick(while you're spinning around) and then go

Thats called a Reverse Flick.... But be warned, you'll **** up your car if you do it incorectly.
Same with drifting, its hard on the car. These aren't Rally cars, they're street cars.

If you seriously want to drift... Buy a 240SX!
