I was proving a point really anything over 50 and you are going to want a hand brake entry.
and he will if he keeps at it and gets decent

Shift locking is just about the worse thing you could do.... Unless your looking for a easy way to drop your trans without tools.
Like word said Clutch Kicking and Hand Braking.
I personally like clutch Kicking cause I like a more aggressive style while others preffer smooth. I like to throw my car around like I'm driving a 86 or something lmao. But its my tire setup that allows me to. I normally run 225 or 235's out back and the only way your really gonna get them to spin with a stock motor is to be an ass and give it all you got. I can hold longer drifts with 205's but its just not as fun cause I have to me much more gentle with how I flick the car around.
I normally clutch kick to initiate and Hand brake to trim or extend my slide (altering my line)
I'm by no means an expert but I can get it side ways and keep it there.

an inertia (spelling i know) drift is probly the easyest IMO. you basicly use the weight of the car to start a drift as you gas hard, ie; you steer left, then right, you then steer left again but as you do this you punch the gas. you can even do the clutch kick with this techinque. i used this method all the time with my built 88 supra on the jacksonville roads in oregon

its called a feint
you can feint then clutch kick or feint and then hand brake but a feint by itself won't do much especially once you get a proper suspension setup
I was using a new technique that worked pretty well for super early entries, I initiated the feint with a clutch kick. using this technique requires balls of steel and allot of speed

Yep that's what I do. I LOVE doing super early entries and just holding the angle. Don't get me wrong I still pull out sometimes cause I'm not used to the speeds but when I do hold it's fun as shit. I just like being super aggressive.
And I can't for the love of me remember his name.
Japan Driver. Yellow RX7 FC, Huge Rear Wing, Blue Graphics. Don't remember his name but his entries are AMAZING and I hope to even come close to being half as aggressive as him.
I hate that I can't remember his name and post a vid to show. Maybe word or someone else knows.

Yes! Dude his entries make even some Hachi's look like there being gentle. I love watching him flick that thing like a rag doll.
Which is the main reason for my tire set-up, so I can get stupid aggressive without the ass end coming out too muc or too fast or having more slide then forward grip when I need it. So far my clutch has taken about 2-3 yrs of kicking abuse using 235's which IMO is good for a stage 1 clutch (Centerforce).

Alright so I finally got the chance to go practice some "drifting" clutch kicking is a lot easier then hand brake. And I also tried doing 180 hand brake turns and I was almost able to get completely around but I was off a few degrees. I tried different speeds in second gear. Do you keep the hand brake engaged throughout the spin or just when your turning. I only did this for like 10 minutes. I am afraid of burning my tires. I am trying to save for new wheels but I cant afford buying tires all the time.
