How To Drift???

HEy,

I'm getting a white Toyota Supra. I was wondering what mods I need to perform to make my car drift well. I live in Canada so we don't have all the mods that you guys in the U.S. do. So far I thought of doing these mods...


-suspension $12.00CDN
-engine $29.00CDN
-tires dont know with ones
-4wd mode will it work out in my favour for drifting???

I also live in Canada and recently got 2 Xmods. For drifting, get the AWD, stage 2 motors (preferably drift), suspension: blue springs in the back and yellow in the front, and hard slicks on the back and hard on the front. I'm trying to learn how to drift now and thats the set up I have (except I have the red motor).

Slick surface, hard slicks and 4WD will do.

Drifting is made considerably easier (And more predictable) by locking, fully or partially, the differentials. Silicon grease works well to produce a viscous LSD, or if you can find some tiny washers, you can make a plate LSD like real drift cars use.
