I think he means and, if he doesn't, then I mean that anything that you do, outside of paint and a very few other things, that do not contribute towards performance, is an unnecessary thing. Therefore... RICE.
I wrote above that "drifting" is not the quickest way around a corner. Which word did you not understand?
If you crash around my house, you probably won't need to worry about the cops.
I have a 2.5 year old grandson. Play with that? You'll regret it.
Do it in a straight line when nobody is around. Oh, you should avoid stopping in the street after you finish crashing because I might hit you if you end up in the street.
Grow up!

drifting is rice, so sorry =(
Drifting has nothing to do with getting around a curve faster, it's just done to look cool. It's a scene. Rice is doing something that dosent have a point. You'll never see an auto x'er drift in a race. Sorry to get your panties all in a wad, but the truth hurts doesnt it?

the truth according to some dood on the internet. yeah. pain. ouch.
why dont you see sliding around on auto-x? sometimes you do. same way you see it in rally. same way you see it in canyons. its fun.
we can sit here and argue about the fastest way around a stupid turn, but lets face it... theres too many variables. driver/car/weight/turn/coastal tempatures of costa rica. so i dont care which is faster. dont bring up an argument out of it!
i like late braking.. alot. its fun. you can keep up alot of momentum. i dont see how something that actually takes some driver know how has in commin with 16 year olds in brown civics with 10 foot spoliers and cut springs.
this has gotten out of hand! i wonder what will be concidered rice in a year. "yo dawg, that car is mad rice yo, check out its functional boost gauge!" then they will throw in a "lol" to make the mockingness a point. oh yesss.

If it's against the law, it must be wrong and bad and dangerous and immoral and.... People hear about somebody doing a power slide in public and they get a kneejerk reaction. How many people are killed by this? Not many I bet. Most fatal accidents are usually by people that are drunk/sleepy/on cell phones/etc. Not Joe Bagodonuts kicking his tail out a bit. Fender benders are a big step away from hitting a bus load of handicapped nuns with orphans in the back. Everything you do has some level of danger. I agree that it's dumb to do it around residential areas. But after hours in industrial areas where the only damage you'll do is to yourself and a bit of property. Do it in front of people and they feel like they are saving lives by calling the cops. Snitches. Most people think that stuff is dangerous and accidents WILL happen when they don't do it themselves. Mountain climbing or skydiving has a high level of danger when precautions aren't taken. Most that do this seem to survive though.
I powerslide my car quite often in traffic. I don't consider that even getting close to the limits. The tires spinout, but they still are in control and have traction. If they didn't have traction, why do they wear out so quickly then? In the past ten years I've been driving cars for fun I've hit one thing when messing around. It was in an industrial park well away from any other people. Stuff happens. I do stuff like this away from the general public to minimize the danger. "Save it for the track" is another good one I hear. Like you can get any practice out of a few runs at autoX. Lap days at real tracks are far and few between. What you do pick up is perishible if not reinforced by practice.
I think I slide around some corners on the way home tonight.

Oh, man i read through the first page and all i see is haters. Yes, it's not safe. Look here 787B don't care what people say do what you like. I bought my car just for drifting. I wreck the living crap out of that and i got another one to wreck agian. Anyways, that's not the point as long as you try to practice with your head clear. You'll be fine. I do it on the road all the time yes i occassion almost hit cars/people sometime, but hey haha i'm having fun. Maybe when i kill somebody i'll change my mind. But i doubt that Yes, that's my attitude toward driving and you can't change a damn thing. =P

It's idiots like Jerk racer and Vicious that give RX-7 drivers AND drifters a bad name. No wonder the cops follow me when I go out with guys like these. Guys, think about it. What you are doing on public roads, much less neighborhoods is inexcuseable and dead wrong. I seriously hope you guys don't have to hurt someone to figure that out.

I'm going to have to agree with Mike here. You guys are pretty ******* naive to think you have control that close to the limit. I will do drifts/powerslides (as best I can), when there is absolutely NO ONE around, in the middle of nowhere at 2 A.M... If someone is out walking their dog in a corn field at 2 AM without bright clothing on, and I hit them, well, survival of the fittest. Other than that, it's your responsibility not endanger others. Naive ******

Bring it over there? Actually I'd like to see Louisiana. I hear it's a pretty state. Maybe one day I'll pass through. Can't see too much of the world sitting in one spot.
Those that are angered by others that are not hurting other should learn to calm down. Just tell people not to leave the house ever. That way 100% of the accidents outdoors will stop.
So MikeL, you've never ever EVER have spun the tires of your car intentionally on a public road? There is much anger in your words. Maybe there are other issues bothering you? I feel your grandson is safe. He should not be in the road. It's not safe for anybody there. You seem to believe that if it is not done in autoX, it is not of any use. Did you ever think that autoX is of no use? It is entertainment. It is fun. So is drifting. Maybe you should try it sometime at an autoX. You might like it. Sliding a car well requires control. That control comes from practice. So what if you don't get around a bunch of cones as quickly as you can? That's not the point. Some of the best drifters are in their 30's to middle age. It takes time to get good at it. It's not just 16 year olds in the parking lot after high school doing doughnuts.
I know that arguing a point has never changed anybodys opinion, it only strengthens them. Neither I nor you will change anybody else's ideas. People will do as they may. Accept what you can't change.

That's funny the ratio of a drifter kill someone compare to drunk driver is like 1:100,000 if not higher. So if you want to be the safety patrol go and get those drunken bastard and if you see me get me too. However, you're not the law, let the law take care of me. And mike if your neighborhood had lots of nice turns i'll be there in a heartbeat. I'm not trying to kill your "Sally" so back off. But what i'm trying to do is have my "FUN". I'm sorry Etherized, but i'm going to be in auto-x and yes i will drift. ( "You'll never see an auto x'er drift in a race" ) haha just watch me!

I find it hard to believe I can give RX-7 owners a bad name. Cops don't follow RX-7 drivers because it's a 7. They probably do that to most sporty import car drivers. I keep most of my "dangerous" driving in the middle of nowhere. I definitely assess the area when driving around town. Haven't done it in front of a cop yet.

Hey, lookey there! It's somebody getting slideways at an autoX. I though that didn't happen? I guess somebody should have told me that first.

alright guys this thread is getting WAY OUT OF HAND.
let me clear some things up before i get the whole forum to lecture me on what i shouldnt do.
first of all let me say that i am a safe driver. i am not joking when i say that. i realize that my RX-7 can be a very dangerous car and I can honestly say that I do a good job making my driving safe.
second, i am not just an idiot sliding around every corner i see. you guys must realize that if you were to see this exact turn, where it is and that there are no houses around it you would realize that it was a safe maneuver.
it wasnt just some random turn in a neighborhood that gave me the chance of hitting "susie" on her new bike.
it is a turn i have in fact taken hundreds of times on my way home. it also is away from all the houses and allows me to see if there is ANY traffic around.
trust me guys, it was a safe place to practice my cars limits. i do not need anymore talks about how it was dangerous.
like i said i am a careful driver and it is only during certain circumstances that i actually drive my car on that level.

Aight you all,
Come to Maine where we have nice wide roads and nice long mountain terrains. I have a un used strench of 3 lane highway that extends accross a mountain right into NH. This is the ONLY place I will ever drift and it is worth it because some of the corners are real tricky. Drifting is not rice, and really finding lines and cool ways to make the corner at high speeds and without drifting is the only way you will win a race against me and all I drive is an ok 89 GXL which is gona be crazy before the end of the summer.

787B, glad to hear you are careful; I saw "neighborhood" and you have to admit that sounds bad. I like to drive at and beyond the limits too, luckily I live in an area w/ lots of roads in the middle of nowhere where I can do it-just have to bring a cellphone incase...
As far as drift=rice, main difference I see is drifter culture embraces the ridiculousness of the "sport." They do it for the sake of fun and wouldn't care about the critisism. Its stupid, wasteful, slow and fun! It can be applied to rally racing very well however, if you don't enter the turn sideways you will plow off the edge of the turn if you go in fast. But, thats not the drifting we are talking about-drifting is "purely for fun."
My view...
