that was a perfectly legit question. stop being dicks.

The s14 should be EASIER to drift in stock form. Less understeer, and easier to initiate in my opinion.

Once the suspension on both cars are done however, it won't make a damn difference which car your in.

as stated above, s14's are more expensive. S13's are less pimp(flame me i don't care) but MUCH cheaper to fix or just tranfer parts off of in a mishap.

NOW, my question.

Which is a better drift car. an ae86 corolla gts or a s14. I have my opinion cause i drive both, but want to hear your guy's opinions.

First off, the question “Are s14’s good for drifting?” has got to be one of the all time top 10 stupidest questions ever asked. The next stupidest question ever asked would be “What is better for drifting, an s13 or s14?” Why? Because there is NO BASIS FOR COMPARISON.

A BETTER way to ask would be: “Assuming all cars are bone stock, which car would be the easiest car to drift, a sohc 240sx se coupe, sohc hatchback, dohc 240sx se coupe, dohc hatchback or an s14 240sx se coupe?”

This narrows the choices down to stock se trim cars so that they can be compared.

How can you make any comparisons without a frame of reference?

i have a stock ka-e and i never use any of those techniques. the drift bible is a good resource but dont be a chode and shiftlock clucth kich or ebrake. do it right please. braking or feint are much easier on your machine anyway

Spoken by a true "drifter" :rotflmao

Go away, you've got an FC in your sig, a R34 in your avatar, and you have no idea what you're talking about, if you're not kicking the clutch or using the e-brake, then you're happy doing donuts in a parking lot, in which case, you're a ***.

Piss Off

right. i dont do doughnuts in a parkinglot. i cant in the 240. dont have lsd. the r34 is the only thing i could find that would let me use as an avatar. the fc is the car that i am a huge fan of and own 3. i dont understand the mentality that a drift is a clutch kick or just pulling the ebrake. when i see a kid doing doughnuts in a parking lot, usually they are doing it from clutch kicking or the ebrake. most people dont have the skill to drift without using those techniques and personally i think its a total cop out.
go ahead and respond to this with something really witty and feel better about yourself, im just trying to curb the idea that a drift is what they do in formula d.

why do you need an lsd to drift? i know its more predictable and you can hold a slide longer but i have been sucessfully drifting this car totally stock. as of yesterday i did get suspension installed and my cusco 2way should be here wed :thumbsup

open diff drifting is ridiculous.
its awful.
you cant even go right dude....you may have pulled off like 3 half assed drifts
wait till you get a diff, then youll realize you werent even drifting before

i might have to post video but first i have to film it. i have no problem with right handers or even linking. its all about weight transfer. my fc has an lsd and i know the open diff is pretty close to worthless but its not impossible.

I don't do donuts period, I think they're gay and a waste of tires. Just like a car with no LSD, it's gay and a waste of tires.

You don't understand the "mentality" because you have no idea what you're talking about. If you disabled the DTSS on your FC with the LSD and actually got out there and did some real drifting instead of weak ass weight shifting with no tire smoke, and no real angle, and no real distance; you WOULD understand the necessity for these techniques.

:rotflmao that just confirms that you REALLY have NO idea what you're talking about

I'm trying to curb the idea that donuts in parking lots and squealling tires coming out of a turn or off of an on/off-ramp is drifting.

Congrats on the Cusco, good choice, post some video of that sweet no-initiation drifting when you get your car set up :rolleyes:

thanks again. i do have the dtss eliminated. it is set up pretty nicely and it is a fun drifter. the 240 is actually funner because of the wheelbase and steering angle that the fc simply doesnt have. i know i can and my friends know that i can. doesnt matter if you do or not. im just telling you guys that a drift isnt about lsd's ebrakes and clutch kicking. ill go record some tonight and have it up tomorrow, car is setup pretty good from the factory and of course there is going to be initiation but it doesnt have to be the wheels locking up. it is possible to drift with weight transition and that is the way that i feel is unique cause not every one can do it but anyone can yank on a handle or kick a pedal. wheres the skill?

You're right dude, and honestly I don't give a shit anymore.

This threads now completely jacked and off topic because you want to reestablish the entire sport of drifting because you're scared to beat on your car by kicking the clutch, or your "too skilled" to grab some e-brake, fine, you're right Keichi.

Just remember, when your watching Formula D from your living room couch or the grandstands, I'll be on the tarmac showing you my smoke and taillights. Then we'll see where the skill is.

:greddy:

when you watch formula d
alot of those guys use e brake
forsberg or whatever just floors it, and controls his rear wheel speed with the ebrake i guess. if you listen you can hear no lift of the throttle.
