Drifting Techniques
these are all the techniques i know of. please add on to the list if you know of any others. the art of drifting is tight. only if i owned a car that could drift, that would be money.
Power Oversteer-This is performed by exceeding the traction of the rear tires simply forcing too much power through the rear tires. Essentially, as you enter a corner, floor the throttle, and be ready to contain the back end with armfuls of opposite lock. Done correctly, you’ll create plumes of smoke, and navigate the corner in a graceful arc, facing all but perpendicular to the direction you are travelling.
Kansei Drift -This is performed at high speeds, such that when entering a high speed corner. Essentially, you lift off the throttle to induce a mild over steer, and if you are going fast enough, you’ll have the momentum to enter the drift. You then balance it using steering and throttle.To most effectively perform the kansei drift, the car that is being used should be at least neutrally balanced, but preferably a bit pointy, and therefore the oversteer will induce itself. If the car naturally understeers through turns, you’ll not get much out of applying this technique.
Braking Drift-This is performed by braking into a corner, such that loss of grip is obtained. Subsequently steering and throttle are used to balance the drift. This technique is best for medium to low speed corners.
Feint Drift- This form is achieved by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the rebound of weight to throw the car into the desired cornering direction.
Clutch Kick-this is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during a mild drift, then you pop the clutch to give a sudden jolt through the driveline to induce loss of rear traction.
Shift Lock-This is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer.
Handbrake aka Long-Slide Drift-Yank on the handbrake to momentarily lose the back end, then balance the slide through steering and throttle play.
Dirt Drop Drift-This is performed by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn.
Jump Drift-This technique involves getting the rear tire on the inside of a turn or apex over the curb to lose traction resulting in over steer.
Swaying Drift-This is a slow side-to-side faint drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a straight.
sorry for the lengthy post

ouch man, those vids hurt but anywho, i went to church today (it was drizzling) and this newer hooked up miata (had some fat "mugen style" graphix on the side, dark blue/black) pulled up in the parking lot while cars were pullin in for church, and started ripping up donuts everywhere. How disrespectul. He should try his "drifting techniques" in a more appropriate place.

actually they didnt hurt too much, mainly just pride. no stuck accelerator just a crooked rear axle (gotta love the long stock panhard) and one hand out the window. car's back though better than ever.
