Earlier today I was messing around in a big empty parking lot trying to drift, I really don't know much about drifting other than what I have seen in movies. So I would get going a bit, turn wheel a bit pulled up on the E-Brake, only problem it didn't lock the tires up?

It didn't really go as planned like how they show it in the movies. (I know, don't say it :) ). So I was hoping to get some tips from anyone who knows how to drift?

Well, one day I was messing around when leaving our shop and I got on it and went around a turn at the same time and did a nice drift. I had to keep feathering the gas pedal so the rear end wouldn't come swinging around! Now as far as using the e-brake well I don't know and I really won't only because I want to try and keep my rear tires for a while as they are almost $600 a piece!

dont let your motor run out of r's, thats wen you'll get yourself in trouble. i found that if you go balls out you lose control so go like 75% crazy not 100% and have fun. you can try the clutch kit to start to (I wouldnt because clutches arnt cheap or fun smelling burned up), get going, turn a little and pop the clutch in floor it drop the clutch.
