I almost did a perfect drift, but then I did a 180
Go to a cold place with the S02s and/or go on snow and you'll have a good drift.

 

I'm not into drifting but on a wet skidpad I've driven the S2000 opposite lock all the way around.

 

At least everyday

 

No joke, he does!

I'll claim some pretty nice four wheel drifts at SIR/Pacific Raceways turn 2; very fun!

Your problem is that you are not anticipating the reactions of the car. If you react by the time your eyes tell you you've overdone it. Watch how real drifters are constantly shuffling the steering wheel in their hands. They are anticipating the car's movements while receiving feedback from the seat of their pants. You always need to be anticipating what the car will do next, not react to it when it happens. I learned this in driving school, and it explains a lot.

You can drift an S2000, you just need to be really good.

Hope this helps!

 

I'm getting better but not perfect. At my first DE event, I let an instructor drive -- in one turn the rear started to come around but, as Rob said, he had already sensed it and flawlessly gathered it up in a smooth, predictable drift. It was a real eye-opener -- I'd never personally experienced such perfect car control.

 

I'm relieved to know that it's just me. I guess I just need more practice.

 

it's not just you, i can't pull a perfect drift either w/ my s2k. the car seems to grip so much, but when it breaks loose, it completely looses control.

 

On my parada's I have a little trouble but with the stock S02's I could rarely get it down very smoothly.

On the S02's the rear would break away and catch very quickly which would unsettle the car and it would slide back the other way. Repeat this a few times and I would get caught in a pendulum swing with the rear shifting and the front just pushing through the turn.

Check you tire pressure as it might be causing some unwanted flex in the sidewall whicih would cause the slide that you are seeing. It will flex then just let go.
