Some noob questions about drifting
 
Howdy,

Thought I'd help out some fellow forum Z owners with some questions to release their anger if they had a bad day or what not.

Not very serious but think about attempting once in a blue moon at a autoX or something. But how would a stock base 370z fair on minor drifting?

I understand mods are needed, like lsd, and suspension, tires etc. But i'm sure drifting started like everything else, like boxing bare knuckles to boxing gloves.

I just wanna get the jiffs of drifting but I don't wanna hurt the oem suspension and bushings if its going to. Basically is it possible to attempt drifting on a base and learn the basic concept even though peg legging and rolling is involved?

My bad for the question but thanksfor any replies good or bad

And damnn does it waste tires. How would midgrade street tires last in maybe like 3 hours of sliding sideways. Also without the necessary mods will the cars chassis really beginn to twist?

Absolutely :driving: Just be sure you take it to a closed track :tiphat:

The more serious you get and the more frequently you do it the more likely you're gonna find limits in the OEM components and wear/break them.

VDC_OFF has been drifting for a while, and I just saw a recent thread by URA who seems to be pretty serious about it. There's definitely some good stuff on this forum for you :tup:

Yeah figures. I dont have the money to buy it all in one swoop. I'm already looking into LSD's. People say Quaife LSDs are pretty dope, and something about 2 way or something. Seems Z1 is pretty popular.

Guess I'll try it one time one of these days and see if I learn something without damaging the car. A lot of people are saying i have to go faster into a turn to make a drift without mods. Dunno if thats true or not.

I like grip class but drifting sounds like some adrenaline rush fun
