...Drift (Warning! May Alter Sleep Patterns)

You've probably watched Initial-D, The Not-So-Fast and Not-So-Furious Bollywood Drift, or some cheesy Hollywood films with some cars screeching tires in it, so i reckoned that you do have a basic idea on drifting. So, nooooo neeed to terus baca-lah... buang masa saje....








Still with us? Man, you are a curious one aren't you? Okay then, sifu jeffu will try his best to educate you.




Basically when you are drifting, you initiate your car to slide sideways, and maintain it for a period of time. When you do it right, you should look like this from the photographer's camera lens :







or this:





The more the merrier:






The smokier the better:






The blue-er the better:




Okay, enough of that.




If you haven't realise, you need a car to drift. What car is suitable to drift you ask? Why, anything with four wheels will do. But it is highly recommended by NASA scientists that the best drift machine for beginners is this:



Yes, the over-rated Ae86takumifujiwarainitiald. But getting yourself an Ae86takumifujiwarainitiald these days will cost you your life. Like i said earlier, anything with four wheels will do, but it is recommended to modify it to look like the Ae86takumifujiwarainitiald so you will look cool-er when you drift.






Why don't we consider this?




Okay, to modify that kayu to look like the ae86takumifujiwarainitiald, you must consider yourself these few upgrades:













BUCKET SEATS

Bucket seats are important as they keep your ass planted firmly to the car while you are drifiting
















HARNESS

Harness such as 5-point seat belt and roll cage are required to protect yourself against any mishap that might happen while you are drifitng













LSD

These LSD pills will keep you from thinking rationally while driving, which is important while you are drifting. LSD is a must! Or else your kayu (ae86takumifujiwarainitiald wannabe) will not look like the real ae86takumifujiwarainitiald let alone drift properly















When you did everything as stated above, congratulations! You have now a proper machine to drift with! Your very own ae86takumifujiwarainitiald:

Not to shabby eh?








Now, comes the second part, the techniques to initiate drift. Shown below are the more popular ones, as other techniques requires you to be either a japanese or a shin-jitsu master to master it.



BRAKING DRIFT:

As the title suggests, just slam on the brakes hard enough to break your legs while turning your car around a corner and hope for the best to happen.










Hand Brake Drift (E-brake)

Before entering a corner, pull the handbrake like as if you are stopping a train and then leave it there. The rest is similar to braking drift, and you hope for the best to happen later. IMPORTANT! You musn't release the handbrake while drifting! Releasing the handbrake during the drift will incur the wrath of Amitabh Bachnan.










CLUTCH KICK


Refer illustration for info







When you mastered all the techniques above, congratulations! You are now a drift master. Now you can enter any drift competition and steal the competition! Bribing the judge is a must.




Before i end my blog this time, i will like to extent my thanks to:

Keiichi Tsuchiya for mocking the white dude in Tokyo Drift








Ken Nomura for his drift techniques and...









Takumi Fujiwara for demonstrating train drifting

































































Im serious!

Multi Track Drifting yo!






That's all for now, loves.
