if you are able to do it please let me know how. not enough torque to spin the tires.

just go hella quick into a turn, then keep the gas, let the rear end kick out, counter steer it, then play with the throttle.
and good luck on that!!

if im you, i'll sell your car and get a stick shift!

You have to first get out of your driveway (of course), hit the main highway in your area, and this is the part where you floor it.........all the way to nearest stealership and buy something with torque.

(for real answers, go to the racing section)

1. Stop watching Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.
2. Do what everyone else says above.

You have to do the 6port 13B-MSP and manual tranny or trade-in swap mod.

Not enough power really, but you can still have fun.

i can slide around in mine pretty easy. slap the stick over keep it in 1st (since its AT) and after about 6k on the tach just rip the wheel sharp one way, then floor it while counter steering quick the other way and she'll pop right out. mine pops out almost every time

its harder for me to do it now since my tires are so wide and grippy, but when i had stock rims i could slide that **** around so much. just keep it in first and kinda punch it into a corner and counter steer.
