I had my first sprinter and was street racing with my mate Roy before i saw initial D.. i liked initial D because i recognise certin links to the Drift king, and the fact that it was a good mix of CGI and standard manga/anime drawing conventions.
however, there are only 3 or so points in Initial D that come close to real drifting.
to reply to the comment "the only real drift is the scandanavian(spellling?) flick, go on kazaa and search for "Drift King video"
you should get a file called something like "super drift techniques explained"... all styles on there are classified as drifting, though most are based on circuits, rather than roads.
real street racing is dangerous, and quite often doesnt involve as much drifting as initial d shows, though it does involve some.
the SF i sone of the primary learned techniques of drifting, however, as the video will show.. there are others, different techniques suit different circumstances.
for example, SF is equally as useful as a power over or shift lock, it really depends on your speed and the turn you have to make.
if you are running a high power car, quite a few turns will make you use accel off techniques to turn th ecorner, to save on your tyres, and give you response on the far side of the corner.
as far as Sprinters go, there is no doubting the fact that they are excellent drift cars, expecially for beginners, however, if you have seen initial d and suddenly want to drift, it is a SERIOUS recommendation that you go and read about real drifting before you try anything, you will find that it isnt as simple as you first thought, any drfiter will tell you that.
Sprinters are nice cars, sporty cars, and are excellent to learn to drift in, but you will have to move on.. they arent supercars, they CANNOT beat a S14 SA20DET-T... unless you are a VERY good driver, and the guy in the S14 is a shit one. and even then..  
so give that idea up now.
drift for the skill, not the anime.. anime is a cartoon, not real..
Drift to learn, drive to enjoy. Thats what i believe in.
i raced cars becuse i enjoyed it, i enjoyed pushing my limits, and i wanted to figure out how i could be better at driving with my car. Having said this, i would never practise, or race, where there were other cars present..
neither should you.
As ive said, Sprinters are nice cars, but they aren't the be all and end all of cars, or drifting.
Sorry, had to have my say in this, as much as i like sprinters, i think the anime doenst help them as respected cars and i think that the people who want one because of the anime, so they can be a drift god like Takumi (LOL), have a long way to go before they realise what drifting is about, and that the Sprinter is not going to make you any better, the way you set your car up, and your understanding of driving will.
Sorry its so long winded.
Peace
Katsuchiyo
