Im looking into getting an evo soon, and while i know plenty of people with RWD where you just kick the clutch out for some short drifts or donuts, i was wondering if anything different is needed to do the same on the evo? I would assume it is but i dont own one and im not going to try to find out on my own car right away :P Also, since i am aware that drifting/donuts wears down the diff., how much would it run me if i needed a new one? I know myself well enough to know that if i can, ill beat on the car for the first month, then replace what i break and treat it well the rest of its life with me lol

thanks in advance for any tips guys, hopefully ill pick up my evo soon and have plenty of fun on the forums here

 

here's a tip: DO NOT BUY AN EVO

AND LEAVE THIS FORUM :facepalm:

 

240 dude. Do it.

 

tip.... only do it in the snow

 

lmao is this for real?

 

Step 1: push in clutch and put in 1st gear
Step 2: hold accelerator down and build boost.
Step 3: hold steering wheel fully cranked to right/left.
Step 4: release clutch
Step 5: look at transfer case in rear view mirror and cry

Pretty much. Just don't do it.

 

Couldn't of said it better !!!!

 

This is why its so hard to find a good used evo to buy is cause kids like to do things like that. smh

 

If anything do it in snow. Or buy a 240. Or buy and Evo, and an old subie for the winter.

 

no need for all the sarcasm from some of you, i know that drifitng any car puts strain on the differential and transfer case, and doing so in an AWD car will put A LOT of strain on the transfer case and differential, i was wondering if anyone had found any little tips to avoid so much strain, but i see that there isnt one. Besides for maybe when there is snow ill avoid doing anything like that then since i dont want to destroy the entire drivetrain. This is in the newbie forum because i dont own an evo, not because ive never driven a car in my life. I see the way to go to not destroy this car is to drift in something else, so ill most likely pick up a friends 240 once i pay off an Evo.

 

Cool story bro.

 

Trolling used to mean something....

 

Just stay away from evo's please. I own both my evo and a 240 that i set up for drifting. Also by what you seem to think RWD cars can do it doesnt seem like you should have one of those either. You would probably just destroy it.

 

^ what he said. I am scared to death of RWD cars first and only car I've gotten in an accident with. Mustang GT, a friends. -_- still paying that one off to this day. That's what best friends are for...just kidding

 

i know there is more to drifting than literally just slamming the entire car sideways, for the sake of all the sarcasm i didnt feel the need to post a ton of other stuff. im fully aware that even any RWD car cant drift in all cases. i have a few friends who own 240's and i know you need open differentials in them before you really do more than drift a corner or two. I also may not have really explained that even in a 240 im not looking for 'track' style drifting over a really long distance while maintaining full power and blah blah blah. It was more of a question of if once and a while i feel like getting sideways will i totally rip my car apart? which in an evo is obviously yes, but that is not the case in a 240, or at least not from what i have seen. There arent many evos in my area to judge from so i figured id ask on here, im surprised at how irritated people get, im not posting in the advanced forum, again this is the newbies. not everyone starts out knowing everything.

Edit: meant to say limited slip differential, but open also works there
