A drift is defined as the point at which the ENTIRE tire gains this slip effect and the car begins to rotate. The more you break traction at this point, the greater the slip angle.
so when it comes to choosing rim and tire size for sideways party time, is it best to stay close to stock wheel and tire diameter? Will it make a difference at all?
How much do you really need cause i'm thinking about dropping a SR20DET into my car and all the upgrades i want to put on it would put it up to about 450 hp should i or shouldn't i?
Street cars, and professional drift cars, rarely see speeds over 80 mph, and actually spend most of their time in the 30-60mph range. Assume for a moment that you did happen to have a well-designed car-body, and a functional wing on the back.
I don't really hit the brakes during a drift anyways so it doesn't matter at all to me. I could not have brakes and still drift, but starting and stopping the drift would be impossible. There are a ton of 240s without abs, and i dont think ANY 86s came with ABS (someone correct me if im wrong) and I see a ton of those drifting.

That says "drift" or do-ri-fu-to in katakana-- katakana is the character set japanese use to translate foreign words (like English words). Kanji is different cause it looks like chinese characters. I'm not sure there is a kanji for 'drift.' the middle one is hiragana. Do you have japanese support? ƒhƒŠƒtƒg=drift. Also in my custom title..
There is no set front/rear weight distribution that makes a drift car great. It's mostly suspension setup and driver skill. Most "poor" front/rear weight distributions can be overcome with proper setup and skill in drifting situations. However, I would think it'd be a little more crucial to have a good side to side weight distribution for about the same feel while sliding either direction. As ...
