First step to becoming a sik dorifto monkey is to learn how to drive. Forget the car, it's all about your skill behind the wheel. No skill = no drift + lots of crashing. Take your bone-stock car to a skidpan day with competant instructors, you'll be amazed at how little you know and how much you can learn!
Once you have some idea what you're doing, you might want to improve your car's drifting abilities, and you acheive this by making it horribly unbalanced. In a nutshell, you want to make the back end uber-stiff (ie big mofo swaybar and harshly valved shocks) while leaving the front end relatively compliant. You'll also want to drop the ride height a couple of inches as RA23's are ridiculously high. Finally, get ready to fork out big bucks for an LSD or if you're a dodgy bastard just weld up the stock diff (don't expect it to last long though).
A panda paint job and Japanese characters painted on the bonnet are strictly optional, but well favoured among the poser set.
Enjoy!

Damn, Norbie! Now you're telling me the Grex Hello Kitty HUD is optional???

My 1st drift mod: build up a healthy bank balance for repairing body damage, then buys shares in a tyre outlet.

I got asked why I wasn't into drift once, I looked at him and then pointed to the rear tyres and replied "$860 a pair".

I reckon a sticky thread needs to be put up called something along the lines of 'How to make your ride full sik drift spec!'

thanx for your help
that was a good lession
anyway, im more interested in getting the car up to scratch on handling.
if the car is not built to that standard then skill doesnt matter.
my car cant take a corner even when i slow down to 20-39 km
thats why i need to upgrade the handling.
thankyou for your comment.
