awd drifting?

[SquackDiddy]

have any of you drifted in your awd dsm? i guess you could say im not that into drag. and wondering if the dsm could drift because i think drifting is pretty cool. becuase i do want a awd dsm but if drifting wont work with it might get a 240sx. so can awd drifting be done?

I drift in the snow with my talon and mountaineer, but I don't push enough power to drift on dry pavement without the e-brake.

i see. so pretty hard then.

[CVD]

No.

That is all.

What is the goal in drifting??? I don't understand it?

Yeah, you can definately drift an AWD. It won't usually step out quite as far as a RWD, but you can also pull it back in easier if you get too far gone. It is a little harder to get it to step out too because the power is split between the tires, but it is not terribly difficult.

Yup, it can be done. We watched a AWD Skyline drifting out at SEMA, it made some hellacious noises but drifted real well. And I used to drift mine in the winter all the time, it's easier to control than a RWD.

Didnt you drift at the 1/4 mile track too.

I tried drifting my Talon at an AARRF track day a couple of years ago. I ended up running off the track, couldn't get it to drift and then snapped my driveshaft going for an all wheel burnout. I did drift it a little yesterday when I took her out for the last time of the season.

All wheel Skylines have adjustable diffs to make them a much more RWD (90/10) car than a standard AWD. I saw it last year at SEMA and it was pretty cool.

I have done some drifting going down on-ramps before. Nothing too huge, but stepping it out a couple of feet. You would need your suspension set up to do it, but it should work pretty good. A welded VC would help too.
