So last night it rained and I was at work til about 3:30 am...when i got out of work i noticed that there were no cars on the road at all and the roads were slick from the rain and oils from cars and what-not...i was going about 40 down the main drag that i work on and noticed that the light to get on i-110 was green

I looked down at the e-break and got an awesome idea....yeah....drift the box...and i must say it was by far the coolest thing i have ever done at 3:30 am EVER...kind of makes me want to buy a Silvia

i did that a couple weeks ago on dry road....OMG that was a blast. prolly wasn't as fun as on a wet street though. i couldn't get a full 360 :(

I've been driftin on some snowy roads lately, what a blast it is.
Lovin that e brake!

If you want a mastery of vehicle control, learn to do it without the e-BRAKE. Yes, it is possible, and yes, it is much harder to do without RWD. . . and yes it is an epic fail when compared to RWD drifting.

PS, what is an e-break?

I can't imagine trying it without the e-brake. i'd like to see some video. :)

You have your VSC turned off when you are doing this ?

of coarse

Thats sick...much props to you man...I've been tempted to hit mine in the past and ummm yea, I thought better of it ha ha.

-ChrisX2 I'm chicken. hahaha

oh man, that was one of the funnest things i did when i worked in florida. leaving work at 130 am, there was a left turn at an intersection onto a road that was at a greater than 90 degree angle, and then that road itself had awesome bends, and with the automatic sprinkler systems soaking the road at night, i could slide around the bends. such a fun way to drive home.

It's easy... Just takes practice and good car control. Scandanavian flick + lift throttle oversteer.

you can find tuns of videos of drifting on youtube
you could always do this, ive done it one of my older cars and its like having a 500hp rwd car

driftin' and scion in the same sentence = :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

driftin' and scion in the same sentence = :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:Agreed, the only Scions that can legitimately drift are ones that have been converted to RWD. Otherwise, not so much. :tap:

Yeah without posi-front wheel drive the inside tire lifts and you loose power to keep going - only way to do it is on a downhill turn with a tightening radius.

please no more threads about scions and drifting, i dont care even if its rain or snow

I thought it was called as* dragging, not drifting?

they are two different things.

is it possible to drift an all stock or somewhat modded box?

is it possible to drift an all stock or somewhat modded box?

Yes and No.
Stock, all Scions are FWD. This means that these vehicles do not have the ability to use throttle to control oversteer, which is typically what most people would associate with the sport of "drifting."
However, A FWD car can be forced into an inertia drift, or Scandinavian flick, by a quick overcompensation initially made while beginning a turn, causing the rear of the vehicle to swing outward. This is typically done in conjunction with a quick yank and release of the e-brake to help break the traction of the rear tires.

haha UV7 knows what he's talking about...very nicely put...
almost like listening to Bill Nye

awesome!

I guess a less "Bill Nye" answer would be...
Go find an empty parking lot on a wet day, turn off your TCS, build up a little forward speed (nothing too crazy), then yank up on that e-brake while turning your steering wheel hard over. Voila! You're drifting (well, sort of...). :wink:

There are tutorials on youtube if you search for them

drifting in a xB? thats nuts i gotta see sum videos or something
