BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 5d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 17/10/13 08:45 AM Share Posted 17/10/13 08:45 AM so I've watched a couple of videos including one of a 7 year old drifting (kids got skills) and they all have a hydrolic hand brake. Remembering that I know nothing about how to drift a car properly, am I correct in thinking that - if ya don't have 500 + giddyups, it's easier to get the back moving around with the hand brake? or am I just pissing in the wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a light car like mine 200rwkw is very sufficient to get the back end happy... Powering out of corners etc...But once u start drifting as wanna actually be proficient at it there's more than exiting a corner sideways... Yes that's drifting but drifting is also going around the actual corner sideways....The hand break method is the most common drift method ...Basically when your coming into a corner down gear clutch in rip handbreak get a tad sideways then clutch out powerdown couterstear...However easier said than done... Once u get really good at it then u can end up to the point where people can't even see u ripping the handbreak...You can ofcourse just clutch kick it but that requires less skill and worse on the car etc etc Edited 17/10/13 09:43 AM by Princess Fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't care how you do it! As long as you're having fun and learning.. I think drifting would be an amazing thing to get into because you have to completely change the way you drive a car.. Think like this: we all know the theory of what's involved, but certain reactions to certain occurrences behind the wheel of a car are almost ingrained in us.. How many times I've seen on a car forum where someone has lost control and grabbed the brakes and heaps of people post 'oh you should of done this instead blah blah blah'.. It's so easy to give an opinion when you aren't the one acting on an instants notice.. So enjoy it fluff.. I'm keen for vids :-) Edited 17/10/13 09:54 AM by Slightly Depressed Panda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
