Driftin My 180sx guy!
Today was badass guy, i taught myself to drive stick all today, then i took mah fukin 180sx and started bustin out the drifts... i was like heel-toe-double-clutch-downshifting and shit, it was seein.... then i started throwing the rear end out and drifting around every turn... u guys gotta gimmme mad props man, i taught myself how to drift in one day, i was taking left turns at intersections at 90mph in the rain, and i never wrecked mah 180sx... im the hypest driver ever... mad respects guy!!!



...the real story:
i got my 240 sx yesterday, my dad tried to help but all he said was to give it some gas and let the clutch out, so yesterday i was driving jerky when i wuz with him but i only drove for 10min... today i went out on my own and got the hang of the clutch, now i drive pretty smooth... on my way to work i gave it a bit of gas around a turn, not much at all and my ass end slid out cause the roads were wet and the tires that came with my car have no tread left... i never had no "mad driftin experiences"... just my first warning that i need new tires... anyways i have driven stick for about 25km and i drive pretty smooth well so i think im doing good, and i am LOVING the car... it so fun to drive!

Haha! I read the first one about how you first learned to drive a stick then started busting out drifting. LOL Then I saw the true story. Same thing happened with me before in the rain. Except I was on a hill and gave it too much gas and didn't get traction all the way through 3rd and the car was almost sideways in the middle of an intersection. I just regained control like I meant to do it and kept going. HAHA

haha. my first drift experience was by this mcdonalds. the road was wet cause they turned on the sprinklers in the grass areas. i took a left turn and gassed it a bit too much i guess. next thing i knew i was facing mcdonalds drive through going sideways, lol. i think i suprised the drivethough guy, i know i suprised myself. good thing there was no oncoming traffic, and i correct it (rather instinctively actually ) and was on my way again. i must say it was a very adrenaline rush kinda moment.

heres a diagram, haha. obviously not to scale.

My first time drifting I nailed it. The next four times I sucked completely and figured it was a coincidence the first go round so I gave up
