Evo 9 Drifting(video included) want help as well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN619-h4H38

Before the Flaming starts I have some statements I must make:
1. first time Drifting(power sliding)
2. I know evos/AWD cannot technically drift
3. I know the risks/maintenance involved if I go further into this(clutches,Diff)
4. I know the evo is not the best car to drift with

so please don’t bash on the drifting I enjoy it and I enjoy it more now that I can do it with my evo.

so the reason for this post is to just show you guys and ask some opinions on what I should do next

Mods are:
Helix Exaust
ETS 3" IC
ETS LICP
GREDDY UICP
AEM Intake
Walbro 255
Tune by Dyno Flash(prob will get this retuned again by local tuner)
MR Bilsteins with Swift Sports
MBC

I want to go for a little more power(this is also my DD BTW) so I was just going to maybe get an e85 tune I’m still debating on that. I need to reduce body roll as you can see from the vid I have a lot of it. I’m also going to upgrade to an ACT clutch since I just burned up my stock one any suggestions and feedback would be nice. just please don’t flame(a lot anyway)

oops, i fixed mod list, forgot exaust and walbro, i am really on the fence about the E85, i make a several trips to cali every year (600 miles) and theres no E85 stations in oregon or neveda and my nearest e85 station is about an hour away so im just weighing the pros and cons about them

this is one of the things im looking for. i am just seeing what you guys think i should do next to help me to drift better, if you are able to watch the video i cant hold that drift for that entire bank. and im also looking for another way to initaite the drift, currently using the ebrake, but thats hard on my diff so trying to not abuse it so much(i know its being abused a lot already) also looking for ways to increase the longevity of my evo as well.

P.S. please dont post "stop drifting and that will make it last longer" i am aware of this

Evo's drive train can't handle RWD power. They're always snapping. You'd have to use the Buschur adapter plate and turn the engine 90 degrees and grab a chevy trans. Then fab up a drive shaft to a rear diff.

Not worth it.
