Maybe you could drift your car at an autocross... You definately wouldn't get fast time, but you'd be safe and be on some sort of track.
I don't know what everyone is saying about not drifting an FD. With good throttle control I've found no car that is as predictable with the rear end drifting as a FD. I doubt you will have money for it though. All that wheel spin. You'll need good tires and a solid rear end. Try doing it in the wet and you'll have less wear n tear. Here's some pics of me drifting an FSAE car at UTA. It's so much faster the an FD and the school pays for the tires!!! |

I've always loved the CYM, when the sun hits it, it's just gorgeous. I didn't really notice the shift knob, shifter boot or steering wheel until someone posted about it. I think I scrolled past it since I'm not one to worry about interior mods, but damn that shifter boot has so much extra leather that mentally it looks like giant yellow pile of poo.
As far as drifting, I'm not into it. Seems like it's mainly popular with the younger crowd (18-25)....am I right? Tim |

Tim Actually no, I went to a D1 contest you'd be surprised how many adults are out there as well. My friends dad came with us and greatly enjoyed the experience. I sat in several different spots and every place i was surrounded by people of all ages. Yes most of the people there were 25 and under. But lots of parents/adults are there too. |
I guess I should clarify, the people who actually want to drift their personal cars tend to be younger people. Older people can enjoy going or watching it on TV but they don't seem to want to go and actually do it.

actually i think alot of the japanese drivers are 30+ and Rhys Millen has gotta be getting up there. But I guess most amateur drifters are under 25.

just drift in teh rain. its free drifting when itrains.

Yeah don't listen to those guys who say you can't drift the FD. It's true that it's a pretty good grip machine but it's also a great drift car as well!
To comment on those rims: They don't exactly do the rest of the car justice, man. Sorry to break it to you. Maybe some new rims in black...? ANY RIMS!... Just not those... LOL! |
www.proamdrift.com then check for your regions section and then register for those forums and ask the local guys where they drift. These regions usally have drift days for you to practice and or solo competitions where you can practice as well. GL

YAY my first post! For RX7's the most important thing for drifting is your setup.
the car's set up makes it handle great and easy to drive with no loss of feeling. Here are some pics from the 2006 DMCC season with My FD http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...eki-border.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r/DSCF0009.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...475534d1_o.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r/_MG_7708.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r/_MG_7595.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r/_MG_7528.jpg Although its not a 7, I'm using an R34 for this season Some pics from 2007 http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r/_MG_9250.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r/_MG_3038.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r/_MG_1394.jpg |

any rwd car can be set up to drift, period. Look at Hubinette in the mopar charger. If that fatass car can slide then any car can.
