Default <!> My First Time Drifting

I know i bounced the rev limiter a little much but omg. I never drifted on purpose before. This was amazing. This video was of my 3rd time out that day on the oval.

way to get out there... I'm no expert but my 2 cents are as posted before... shift and go a lil faster and also, you can break it side ways and keep it by off and on the throttle repeatedly or a clutch kick every now-and-then. that way you're not bouncing off the limiter... you'll get there if you keep it up! looks like a blast!

p.s. change you're oil

Does the autoZ have where you can keep it in one specific gear.......??

with an autoZ you need to shift the weight more......search "Manji drift" on google.......i highly recommend you get the project mu rear e-brake shoes cause that will help you.........

also, you may wanna look into a higher final drive...i know that limits you AutoZ guys big time......swap diffs or something......

Yeah we can keep it in gear when in manual mode. Thanks for the tips. I'll start researching all of that.
