drifting a manual transmission car

Find a car with both rear-wheel-drive and a manual transmission. Ideally it should be a sports car with as close to a 50/50 ratio as possible, and enough power to keep the tires spinning is ideal.








Accelerate and shift into a gear with room to rev. Second gear is generally used because it allows the widest variance of speed and is best for harnessing the engine's torque ...Push in the clutch.....Flick the steering wheel to the inside of the turn as if you were going to turn around it. While simultaneously pulling the hand brake.....Immediately put some pressure on the gas pedal, let out the clutch, and steer the car in the direction of the slide, using throttle to control the angle of the drift..More Throttle will make the car turn more, and also move the car away from the turn center....Less throttle will reduce angle, and allow the car to move towards the inside of the turn more freely................................You're drifting!

Never drift on the road. It is illegal. It might seem fun, but it's really not worth the risk. In many jurisdictions this activity is considered reckless endangerment, carrying penalties of jail time, license revocation and more.
Don't go faster than you can handle. Recovering from a spin takes skill and experience.
Because severe or uneven wear is a driving hazard, be sure enough tread remains on the tires when finished drifting, but the tires should either be checked out by a professional or changed immediately.
If you intend to drift an SUV or pickup, use extreme caution, as these types of vehicles can flip over. This can be done but you must be very experienced at drifting.
FWD and most AWD cars are not capable of drifting in the strictest sense, rather they simply drag their rear tires sideways across the pavement. This greatly increases wear on the tires as well as the rear end suspension components and can cause rapid failure. If you're serious about drifting, get a RWD car.
Don't try and drift in a carpark. You can damage yours or others cars badly, or worse.
Use Brakes when needed to slow the car down more rapidly than E-braking
Don't get ½ Cut before you drift, you will kill a sheep
Know your local and state motor vehicle laws. You can be cited, fined or jailed for drifting, even if you are not on public roadways. Although not explicitly prohibited in motor vehicle codes, there is usually a "catch-all" provision that law enforcement can use prevent you engaging in this activity.
Always drift a car at a controllable speed , when you first try to drift keep it below 40 mph.
While you drift your car on road at the speed of 140-170 try to check minimum and maximum distance to drift safely
