The ground was wet today so I decided to throw the car through a couple of turns. Surprisingly it performed pretty well, granted this was in wet conditions. My experience with drifting is nothing compared to a pro, but I consider myself a decent drifter given any RWD vehicle. I don't plan on doing this competitively, just recreational. I would like to hear your guys thoughts on how well the car drifts. I understand that this vehicle isn't setup to drift, just grip. But my impressions were that it was very smooth through every turn I took it through and the throttle control during a slide is very similar to an ae86.

BTW I'm very new to this forum. I have a black 01 s2000 with stock suspension on spoon springs.

Do you mind me asking how old you are? I'm not trying to flame, I just noticed these threads tend to start with a new, young owner.

 

Especially noting an AE86 corolla, as it is royalty and most recognized in drift culture.

 

lmao he must have just watched Initial D and thought he could just drift like a pro.

 

Many people say the S2000 is not a good drift car, which isn't true.

Team RSR have sucessfully created a competition drift car with the S2000, and even in stock form the car performs quite well for some occassional drifts.

I remember how surprised i was at my first track day when i took a few corners sideways. The car is VERY controllable and a lot of fun.

However, keep it off the streets and do these things on a track.

PS: Drifting in the wet is a lot more smooth and easier compared to doing it on a dry surface.

 

please dont want my insurance rates to rise or have some one seriously injured. save learning and trying new experiences in the s2k on the track.

 

I know what you mean, i was drifting my evo at the docks. Knocked my friggin wing off and some asian dude called DK told me i sucked.

 

So how often do you and your s2000 swing? What kind of other couples are into that?

 

You do practice swinging safely right? You take all the precautions? Swinging can be great fun with your mistress if done safely.

 

LOL.
