Default Driftin' the Box

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

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?

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.

Agreed, the only Scions that can legitimately drift are ones that have been converted to RWD. Otherwise, not so much.

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.
