Get caught doing it on public roads etc get a rogerin, do it on private land and its ok with owner of land then it will be okay (track/practice days)

how do i register for a drift event such as edc or bdc? do i just turn up, pay and race and try to qualify for the next round or would ihave to register beforhand? i have looked at the points/standings chart, obviously i am away off that, but how do i get there?cheers.

You need to go to a licence day and prove you are good enough to take part mate. Are you new to it or have you been to events before?

park_monkey · 27-04-2008, 21:57

not done an event yet, not alot goin on up here in north wales. so i need to get a liscense? how do i find one of these events? how much are they? i thought there would be a liscense needed so you cantjust go out and wipe out the other drivers. is there a season for drifting? i have an s13 that a have started to modify, i work at demon tweeks so should be ok for bits.

Not sure whats closest to you but probably Drift What You Brung at Santa Pod. See the events section on here for the beginner events.

Ive got a set of apex springs to start with while i keep on the look out for a set of coil overs. Will i need a LSD? Also what is the best way for a novice to get into drifting? Drift academy? or turn up for a drift day and practice??

Any help is appreciated

weld the diff

I'm proberbly bying a Ford Sierra 2.0Dohc pretty soon I wanna get into drifting, As far I've been told it's got 120-150HP How many horsepower should I put into it to get it sideways?

Mickel-Denmark

mickelCardell · 27-05-2008, 14:11

And what more should I do to it. I'm going to remove backseats to remove weight and stuff like that also get racing seats in it and stuff like that. maybe a turbo.. but I can't afford to get other pistons and stuff like that. So not a very big turbo but how much should I do to get about 200Hp

By the way driftworks rocks, two of my friends got their skyline and PS13 from this page

hey guys i've been meaning to post for a while now. i've been following drifting for a while now and had a couple of attempts, some successful some non-successful but that's how it goes right? Anyway i know what car im getting, an s14 with a blacktop sr20 thats been upgraded, i know it may not be an ideal starter car but ill be using it as a daily driver as well. Back to the point now, i want to find out where the nearest drift practices are as i cant seem to find any that are less than 3 hours away (i live in south wales by the way) any help in finding some practices will be much appreciated, so uh yeh sorry for the long post, will be chatting soon hopefully

bodders out!

A quick question from a newbie.
If I wanted to become a pro drifter would just being a good drifter be enough or would you need a bucket load of credit cards to get there?
Or if your good enough do teams sign you up and let you drift in thier cars?

Any feedback would be appriciated thanks.

Ferrit08 · 11-06-2008, 18:46

Was wondering what would be one of the best drift cars to buy , I had a 2.0 twin cam sierra cosworth lookalike but i found it not powerful enough to hold the drifts , Was thinking of getting a s13 as i like the look of these cars and they seem to be up there with the best of the drift cars and ther is a lot of parts around for them.
