use cheap ones since you don't know how to drift yet, this is advice thats given by professionals too so it's not bs. The reason for cheap ones is because they are easier to break loose in traction and most importantly because they're cheap. No need to waste your money on some really expensive sicky tires when your skill looks like shit and you won't have the power or knowledge to look good in them.

Thank you, esco! looks like 'onemorejspec' hasn't seen the drift bible yet...

yeah sorry, i haven't.


i'm all about my 195 tire over 8 inch wheel and 215 over 9 inch


maybe im just a loser.
"i'm all about my 195 tire over 8 inch wheel and 215 over 9 inch"
and whats that supposed to mean to us? Really what good info towards someone that wants advice on what tires they should use for drifting is that comment useful for? I'm not trying to be an ass here but I found that quite useless :12dunno
 
The Drift Bible is still good regardless, and I'd be willing to bet on it that if you picked it up and actually did what it talks about you would improve even though you're apparently a drifting god now... :1bowdown "we're not worthy"

never claimed to be a god. just said i do what i do because i do it, not because i sit there and study it. its like saying "i watched drift bible, now i am drifter'
nah you have to actually DO IT to learn.

its like reading a book about hiroshima japan and actually going there. TOTALLY different!

has to do with me not watching the drift bible.

=)

i told em what tires to run.

Falken ST115 or Yoko ES100

stretched.
To be honest i've actually never watched the drift bible before, my post was made from personal experience and a bit studying from the sport. But even videos and books shouldn't be regarded as useless materials though, if you goto a driving school wether it be japan or u.s. they have classrooms they will show you videotapes,sketches, at times teach with gran turismo3 and sometimes they will videotape your runs and play it back so that you can learn from your mistakes. There can be many forms of learning and gaining an edge when it comes to motorsports, sitting down and taking the time to learn it from another perspective can be helpful since you won't see everything from the drivers seat.
 
lol dousan its daniel from ziptied<3


are we gonna go see kill bill datestyle or what?


/edit


as far as drift being a sport..yes at competition level ie., D1GP or ex oz and whatnot it is a sport...but mostly what we have out in the usa is just going out and having fun with your car and driving around being as wacky as possible with your friends.


i've noticed that everyone is so damn serious. i remember when i started drifting with my s30z i couldnt stop smiling...i think drifting in the us is way to overcompetative.

the best way you can enjoy this "sport" is with your friends when its 100* out in an abandoned parking lot or drift event and just have fun and help eachother out..thats how i learned.


there are to many magazine drifters and not enough clutch kickers!
 
how can anyone not have fun drifting? Gotta love drifting :thumbsup :p Besides, if you get all serious your car is gonna end up on the wall *crunch* "aww shit, not again"

*edit: umm... your geocities link is down
and end up on the wall a lot more, everyone makes love to the wall now and then
 
yeah its always down
geocities sucks
check tomrrow haha
ill update it then too! :)

yeah my car is EXPECTED to be totalled. somewhere some how..hopefully NOT by some dumb bitch rear ending my car at the light. i prefer at the track or otherwise heh...
