Drifting the S
I have read the S is very poor at drifting, compared to others.
Also read an article in HondaTuning about the above RSR S2000 drift car, the amount of things they changed is unreal, including strapping a large turbo on, as the S dosent make enough torque when NA and so makes it very hard to drift, the full steering setup was also changed.
I love drifting but the S isnt the car for it I'm afraid.

Most drift cars are large turbo monsters. And I agree with the previous clutch comment too from what I've read of some peoples trials.
Easiest and cheapest way is to put some crap rims and tyres on the back, that was the lack of torque and low down power won't be such a critical factor.
Did I mention that I like roundabouts? I can manage a full circuit sideways now.

Still looking for uprated clucth ideas for my drift monster
i often kick the arse of the car out on corners late at night - going at 15/20 mph gives it a wee slide but no major drifts - good for a laugh as long as it's very quiet/dead roads.
when the road is mildly moist is a good time for it too and will cause less wear to your tyres - the potential for overkill is obviously higher though so extra care should be taken to avoid everything going ass over tit

One reason why I chose the S2000 was because it was RWD, which meant arse out action. There's also a practical side to it all. And I'm not joking.
If you practice getting close to the limits of the car and your own driving then if done correctly you become better at controlling the car. Now whilst it's not an essential skill, when you consider the Carper List posts you see occasionally, I can't help but think if people were as good a driver as they thought they were, then it might have helped them. I they knew how the car reacted and how they should react when the car's sideways, then they may have just had a close shave.
I was lucky, I grew up with a 50cc go-kart with slicks in the back garden on wet grass. But I still have a lot to learn. And as such will be booking a 1st Lotus Day in the near future.

when I went to the motor show a guy was donutting in an s and he had an 02/03 model but had changed the rear wheeels for 04 model but kept the front 02/03 mind you he did get out of the car and left it donutting on its own!!

It would be cheaper to buy a beat up 200SX 

It's a powerful rwd car that's supposedly easy to drift. And can be picked up quite cheaply.
