Drift definitely drift
drift
Drift my 2013 3.8 genesis gotta be built first though throw some twin turbskis on that bitch and whip that bitch might needa 2jz or rb swap it first though cant decide maybe even rotary swap it haha
"So you want to total your car".
😂
Basically
Only if you suck
No it sounds nice but I only paid 200 if you want to know what it needed front end and a motor then. Struts and a starter the things a piece of shit and we've all,been there but its my peice of shit

Car Guy Code: it's okay if I diss my car but don't you dare talk shit about my baby or else you can walk the rest of the way there
make sure your oil is filled up
dont sit on limiter
dont rely on handbrake
dont rely on clutch kick
start with cones at a carpark at 2am
dont overspend on mods (legit all you need are coilovers, a suitable diff and a cheap bucket seat)!!!
happy sliding!!!!
Maybe a little bit of harnesses to keep you in place.
Sean Price drop in some yaris or LQ9 coils for cheap😎🤝😎
Thanks homie
U described my car ina nut shell 😂 scumbucket miata coilovers welded diff and a bucket seat and wheel
Or get a cheap rwd car with cheap tires and just send that shit brah
I want to see the whole fitment industries squad go drifting
BET! 💨😂
Fitment Industries holding you to it bub
@@FitmentIndustries wheres the vid bud
Did a perfect Ebrake drift around a roundabout in my 97 Accord. Never again will I feel such bliss
Got a perfect e-brake 180 through an intersection once in my 91 civic. It was sick... second time I tried, not so good.
James Haulenbeek how did it go the second time?
It's FWD, you didn't drift. Thats a power slide.
@@D-AVGGamer DaTs NoT a ReAl DrIfT durrrr
@@D-AVGGamer wow, really...? I didn't know...🙄
Second time I didn't get full rotation, not enough speed. It was the same intersection.
*cries in FWD
Laughs in burger king food trays
Y'all can still drift, look up Japanese civic drift. You still got hope.
I was successful (Albiet by accident) with my 2002 Mazda Protege
*cries in 4WD
I live a little up north in the colder states in the US. People complain about the cold while I sit here anxiously waiting for -winter- drifting season to drift my *'04 HONDA ACCORD*
whenever i try drifting my mustang it heads towards people...its blood thirsty
Crowd control
at the end of this road in florida I sent it in my girlfriends lil baby mazada 3 around a sharp turn and we slid so perfectly that I couldn't believe we were sitting in the swamp sinking....
Video or it didn't happen
ClutchkickPJ lol
That's funny 😆 sitting in the swamp sinking 😆 I'm still laughing 😆
Mazada
Lol
''or when you're 36 years old''
*me having flashbacks of my Uncle drifting his Audi with me in the backseat*
SO your saying a motorcycle accident invented drifting. I love it!
Just wait until it's winter and THEN drift you car😎
Pros: No tire wear, drivetrain won't suffer, it's easy and fun
Cons: cops might take your license away if you get busted
100% worth it
Cant take what i dont have
Take my what?
@@luisuribe5432 "what licenses officer?"
I saw some dudes do it in a pretty open space near a train station at night, they left and 5 minutes later the cops showed in. Lucky bastards 😂
Gotta be careful to not slide into the kerb tho
My first day of drifting summed up:
- rear tires ruined
- power steering pump broken
- differential massively leaking oil
-> Conclusion: broke for the rest of the month but funniest day of my life
7 months later so likely no response, but jesus what car was this😂
I did this yesterday on my car for about an hour, abused the shit out of the poor thing. I was surprised how good I did perfect donuts and how easy it was for me to control the drift. My car seem to be totally fine nothing broke on it and runs as smooth as it’s been. I drive a Lexus IS btw
@@2econd428 yeah when drifting most people don't know how important the brake is. Utilizing the brake while under power is the best way to get that perfect slide while not going to fast. Noobs try to drift without using the break and just go faster and faster.
Underrated drift car
C4 corvette
Affordable easy to acquire
Semi reliable
Light-enough
RWD v8
Stock lsd
I highly recommend the c4 corvette
It's just a bit slow tho
How about C5?
Lester Chen great car but when compared to the price of the c4 you can save thousands that you could use towards mods
roy jaber is day they’re about as fast as stock 240’s and 350z’s it’s not a rocket but checks all the right boxes
roy jaber dont worry mate get it with the LT1 motor, from there the amount of things you can do become endless
Make that V8 put down 500hp+ easy clap!
I'd say I want a "so you want a Skyline Hakosuka" but since you already did a video about the GT-R in general, how about a "so you want a classic car"?
Classic car:
Maintenance, maintenance, and more maintenance.
@@z-trip5457 and non existent replacement parts lol
@@tunanocrust2642 That's indeed a pain in the bottom too.
And knowing older cars, you will need quite a few.
Rust. Lots of it.
rust, lots of it. maintenance. preventative maintenance. go Chevy, biggest aftermarket out there.
The roads were wet one night, and I unintentionally slid my car around a round-a-bout and ended up getting control back when I had to exit. It scared the shit out of me when it first started
😅
I know the Corolla is pretty common, but it was so weird because I thought he was straight up talking about me and my Corolla 😂😂😂
I was like, yikes howd he know what I did in High School lmao
Yeah that hurt
Just like you "pikachu"
Lol
Good one
I’ve had my 94 Miata for a month now completely stock and I love it. I was so happy I managed to get a platform I can practice with
I got my 99 in febbbb
Got my 99 2 1/2 years ago... and have still never drifted it... 😧
Aww you guys got to ls swap them !🤪🤪🤪🤪🤦♀️
ShuffleMasta lol I haven’t yet either mine only has 57k miles so
@@lelandgaunt9985 Hellcat swap 😎
The extent of my “drifting” experience is putting “Wendy’s food trays” under my back wheels one night after hours and sliding around the parking lot with my fwd eclipse 😂
Did it work?
Sent it around a corner on gravel road and slid into a tree lol. Now my car leaks from bad panel alignment
Takahashi decided to f*ckin yeet his skyline around a corner and thus drifting was born.
You mean his fd
initial d nerd spotted
@@barelyawake868 absolutely right sir
Start with donuts on a skid pad. go to bigger and bigger circles. Then figure eights. Then your ready to to move on. Power over, clutch kick, shift lock, weight transfer. Learn them all. Put some cans out and learn wheel placement by running over cans during a slide. And the biggest thing I learned is you don’t need a crazy build and high power to start. Get a good diff and suspension and go. Then build up as your skill does. I miss drift sessions! They closed our track a long time ago though. And in Hawaii, you can’t drive to the next track over...
Drifting is love, drifting is life
Im literally addicted to it
@@el9651 yes
Ahhhh yes! You guys do listen to the people! You gave us g35, now we got drift! Keep em coming!
Alex has slowly become my favorite TH-cam personality, every FI video I see without him makes me a little sad, thank you Alex.fi on the gram ❤
I did hit a huge fence while street drifting but that didn't stop me from sending it till the drift was over 😂 not to mention my car was pretty good damaged back then 😅
Are ya silly? Still gonna send it🤪
Blew my engine tryna do a driftskiiii
What car?
RX8 lolzzz
So you blew apex seals, or did your dorito etch your not-cylinder? I had a buddy who had one, and he broke the lugs on one of his front wheels when he tried to do a high speed clutch kick with his TCS on. Was probably the best thing I've ever witnessed a rich kid do.
late 90s through the mid 2000s were the best eras of drifting imo
When’s your birthday, Alex? I gotta send that vanilla funfetti cake.
Well this isn’t “so you want a mini” but I’m definitely going with autocross
I started out drifting around in a local Walmart parking lot in a 2004 v6 mustang completely stock and now I drift that same car but it's fully decked out pushing 300hp at the local track, it's all about dedication and just fucking around in the world until you become good.
Snapped an axle by kissing a curb in my 98 mustang, should have watched this video first
😅
Lmfao I did the same thing in my 06 mustang GT
I’m 16 and I should’ve watched this video to know to save up money first 😂
I have a 99 mustang and it was raining really hard one night. This is my first experience with oversteer in a car. I was making a right turn at an intersection and I barely touched the gas pedal and that was when I felt the whole back end go loose. My immediate thought was, "well... this is happening." I knew what to do in theory but I had never actually done any drifting in real life and so I start counter steering the other way then the car swings around the other way and I counter steer at full lock looking at a curb. Some how I get it to go strait an didn't damage anything but it definitely was a wake up experience.
@@leonestriker nah bruh that's just how mustangs drive. I have a 14 gt and it drives like shit lol
All mustang's look for what I call CC's...... Curbs and Crowds 😂
Don’t lie just don’t you and I both know no matter what car someone drifts it will always look cool as shit
You can ignore me but I will keep commenting till I see so you want an e46
I support this movement
We're all just automotive weebs, lets be real here
Throw a hydraulic ebreak and floor it everywhere, when u wanna turn then PULL THE LEVER KRONK
I about had a stroke every time Alex attempted to pronounce “Tsuchiya”. Su-chee-yah Alex. #RIPthispoormans
Oof😅
Mannnnnn that 86 had to spin out huh
I can’t afford drifting so I just drift in forza
Which game
Horizon
I cant afford forza
My best drifting story was in January. I was in my little 5 speed corolla thinking i was cool stuff drifting during a snowstorm. I was on my way back to the parking lot driving through campus when i saw THE corner i gave it some gas ripped the e-brake.... over corrected once, then again, then slammed the side of my car into a tree :) now i have a gray door on my red corolla 😅
Is it at least a dope looking grey? 😅
My first drifting story started in the worst possible way, 18 years old, highschool, with a 1987 MR2, Snap Steer everywhere. Later I had an Infiniti M30 and that handled like it was built to slide. I haven't owned a RWD car since then but I often think about getting an NA miata because my friend has one and that thing no matter how weak or girly looking is just more fun than just about any other cheap car.
So my first car was a salvage title 1999 E46 323i that my dad found in 2005 that I split with my dad when I was 15/16. I threw on a set of Ebay Coilovers/Brake Rotors&Pads over a weekend with my dad when we rebuilt the car and learned everything i know about rwd car control while living in the midwest running all season tires year round.
My first serious attempt at street drifting launched me through a major intersection, ripping a few belts, and going nose first into someone's fence and missing an underground switch gear box for electrical infrastructure(I know this now because I'm an Electrical Engineer). My dad shows up with the family Ford E150 to pull my car out of the fence and take it back home to asses the damages. After getting yelled at by my dad at home, assessing the damage to some broken tie rods, damaged ball joints, and a screwed up alignment(ignoring all body damage), we set out to fix it again, and then my dad told me to never do that again. I didn't listen but I did get better at it.
15 years later I sold that 323i when I bought my 2017 BMW M2(dedicated track car), and my 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo Sedan(Daily driver), I run HPDE/Time Attack and autocross, I do road racing in the 24Hours of Lemons, and I'm currently shopping around for an E36 318ti to build into a drift/hill climb car.
Don't let fucking up and making mistakes stop you from pursuing what you love. I took my first mistake as the driving force to get better by learning and spending less. Its the motto for my motorsports career.
First timez i did is in a miata 1st gen stock open diff i think.. drifted faily eaisly i always got good positive feed back from the strangers who'd see me out there ... i put a smile on their face as well as on mine.. now i have been getting more into it.. attending my first event this 19th
YES. I awaited a video like this for so long.
Just picked up my first driftcar about a month ago. A miata with rollbar, hydro ebrake, welded diff, rad/fans, coilovers etc installed all ready, it needs some work to button up, but i hope to have it ready to join the next season!
4:23 i could literally watch Initial D over and over its so good i love it 😍
Wait... Alex said Nani!?
Alex is a weeb 2019 confirmed
i have a v6 02 mustang i know very slow but the amount of torque it has is more than enough to spin the wheels before it even leaves the spot its heavy body is resting on and for the past couple days ive been drifting it on my wide streets and honestly thats the hardest ive smiled in a long time it made me so happy when i did a full donut and whipped it back around i know its not the fastest car or the most powerful car but i know im going to have a hell of a good time drifting any corner i could
Smiles per gallon
My first driftcar was a welded BMW E36 318is, best starter ever. First time drifting felt really natural and it was really easy to do. After I build a Hydro in it every turn became fun.
So one night me and my two other friends are in a fwd toyota, and we all are pretty tired after hanging out. Me and my f2 are on our phones and f3 is driving, suddenly he speeds up to like 120kph and truns the wheel all the way around then back again. Remember there is some light snow on the road and whole car spins and the driver desperately trying to get in control. Eventually he slowed down and my other friend in the backseat stopped screaming. He didn’t drive no more Crazy night!
0:55 That Supra is LOVELY. Nice video, btw.
bro the only reason i love the konig shirt over the rest is the konig and figment signs on the sleeves. like gimme a shopping list of car brands you’ve worked with on the shirt like it was a rear window or front panel of a car.
That was a really good intro, got goosebumps!
Thanks for the Motivation!!! And I am about to “Send It”. Wish me luck 😬
I have a stock 350z HR roadster and I got it with 8 year old dry rotted tired that had ALL their tread. I wanted to learn to drift... but I also had no choice, because I found my self sliding just trying to pass somebody! I also live in FL where it rains every two days, so I started picking it up pretty quick. I can hold some decent angle now comfortably and have some fresh tired that make the road much less Icy 👍
once when I was 7th grade my dad put me in a car and made me deliver tofu to hotels on mountain Akina I drove for 5 years becoming expert drifter and started street racing It was awesome
First time drifting i spun out on some of the dirt roads nears wausau. Nothing major happened but man that was a rush and it got me hooked going sideways.
Nothing better than a rainy day for us fwd plebs.
I got to meet, hangout and get some pics with Tsuchiya at a D1 event... pretty rad moment in my life 🙂
I got a 96 golf with a broken e brake but sometimes if I send it on some dirt she likes to pop out depending on how fast I'm rippin👌🏽
I swear some of the these videos are like poetry🤙
I did tile at a school during winter in ND so end of the night I'd have a huge empty parking lot with about a foot of snow, most fun I've had in my awd Lexus lol.
That beat went hard
I’ve been having some fun tossing this beauty around on the gravel roads :)
It starts snowing in November here, and grass comes back in June. If you want to gitgud, move to a place where it snows a lot and only drive rwd. It makes going to work fun!
Canadian BRZ driver here. You are very correct.
WHAT DOES HE SAY AT 6:30!?!?!?
He said "Next episode of "So you want" is gonna be on the 335i"
I learned to drift by rally racing in the rain and mud in Oregon then it just become what we did during spring and summer when the grass and forest was to dry...
Watched what looked like a 80's fiesta whip it back and forth on a wide kind of empty 4 lane street right in front of me last winter, it was pretty impressive till they accidentally curbed the back of their car on like the fourth "swing" and quickly dissapeared down a side street. But they went all 4 lanes when they were whipping it every time so massive respect
Great videos my dude keep 'em coming 👍👌🤙
Thanks for the support!
Alexfromfitmentindustries...the dude with the affinity for Whataburger, funfetti, choice wheels for his choice Porsches, hairstylist Mrs., and subsequently choice haircuts. You are the perfect man for this job! You’re like a brother to me. Lol internet brothers who’ve never met.
Thank you so much makes this video about Owning drift car fitment
The intro is always *Fire*
I scum-bagged my way it to teaching 3 people how to "drift" (donuts, figure 8's) in my high school never owning a car my self. The people I tought drove a miata, EcoBoost mustang, and a 350z. The only sorta experience I had was drifting my dad's 1999 ram 1500 with a good old 5 speed manual.
I got the opportunity to drive a ford mustang gt and I just had to send it when I felt it losing traction from 20mph to 40 from full throttle so I approached a T shaped street (traction control off) and I was going 10mph started coming to the left and hit full throttle while turning the wheel to the right then straightened out it was amazing I've been in fast cars but nothing compared to that feeling all you hear is exhaust, and burning rubber 🤘
*nothing beats a dope ass intro edit and the pretty face of the video alex..... and everyone else yes not u alone* 😂 ........ *whispers* (ssshhhh we all know its alex) 👀
One of the first drift attempts for me, took a turn when a red light turned green, overcorrected myself, jumped the curb and took out a no parking sign with my fender. Bad times man
i had a 2017 chevy colorado few years ago, took it to walmart lot in December where there was 2ft snow here in illinois. Did bunch of donuts until hit one of those curbs with trees in the middle of them and almost flipped the truck. Tripped a wheel speed sensor, had to go to dealer to clear it.
I remember when I tried to initiate a skid with the e-brake and later a Scandinavian flick with my BMW at the time and couldn't really get it to loose traction because, after 10 attempts, I've realised that idiot old me didn't disable traction control :)
One button pushed later and did some nice little clouds of smoke. :)
Great video as always Alex but were waiting on that 30 minute "So you want a mustang" video 😂🤣
First time I ever drifted a car was my 2002 Mazda Protege by accident. I was on my way to work and it was snowing. I was going from one highway to another and the road curved 180°. At the beginning of the turn I lost grip & almost went into the ditch. Somehow I managed to control the car all the way around the turn for a pretty damn sweet drift. Never thought I'd ever drift a front wheel drive car 😂 scared the sh*t out of me at first but once I noticed I had control I calmed down and took that turn like a boss.
First drifting experience was in a 2008 GT Premium (built to around 550hp) on black Ice in a clover style Exit ramp. Ice swung me out and the road was wet/had enough tirespin to keep it sideways for a bit.
Deathly frightening to the unprepared 16 year old.
Here we are 2 years later and I’m looking for a cheap rig to drift with 😂
Dude I feel like your watching me drift my 2009 corolla every winter 😂 I mean it’s not really even drifting for us fwd corolla drivers it’s more power sliding but hey we’re trying out here.
I had a BMW z3 with a straight 6, amazing platform to start on. I drift it like crazy, never wrecked it.
This was almost my choice, but I hopped on the bandwagon and got a miata instead. Z3s are gorgeous though...
Just start out on gravel roads instead of waiting for winter
I used to put cheap ass almost bald tires on my lifted 1993 Jeep Cherokee XJ...never have I had so much before In my life. Looking back on it now, my nice looking GTI still doesn't match to the foolery and how much that jeep would take a beating and still look fantastic and get me home.
It’s funny because I have a semi lowered 03 f150 2 door on SVT rims (not slammed, lowered in the back to be leveled with the front) and people are always super confused because they don’t think I can just send it around corners or just completely do drift runs in parking lots when it’s raining
my first car was a peugeot 306Sedan :P i was speeding in a corner and i got oversteer, leading me to look straight to the middle barrier, and without thinking i turned everything and got straight again 1stroke near me :O i felt so overwelming of adrenaline and fire inside me like WOOOHOOOOWW HELL YEAH!! and with my second car i hit the side of the road in a corner, and couldn't get it straight again and spinned a lot around! the car is fixed again with welding and repairing and starting to learn the use of Wrapping xD my favourite Car i really want to drift with is a Toyota Supra, that is my dreamcar and waiting for that moment! looking forward to next videos! :D
Tried to slide my 01 IS300 around a roundabout after getting off early from work one night. Started out fine.. But ended up in the field nearby with 3 cracked/warped rims and two busted control arms after going over a curb :D
Sick intros🤘🏽
Im currently rebuilding a 1990 rx7 na race car to go drifting with at my local drift next year because i missed the last drift event. I also in high school used to go snow drifting in my stock na miata
My first car was a plymouth neon, my first winter was 100% sideways, just like every other 16 yr old with a handbrake😂. Now I have a 06 monte carlo ss, I've gotten pretty good with that foot powered parking brake.
I started drifting when i was 11 (14 rn) i think ive come a really long way, started out with a miata and stillhave it hope one day to get a ae86 mainly cuz it's a fun car an 4age spaw it.
I was 17 (am now 35) this was about the time initial D DVDs came out, got me an AE86 hatch, thought I was something took it around a curve sideways, And flipped that sucker. Still, miss that car to this day. WHY did I have the euro beats going.
Early to a F.I video, like Alex always say, at the end of the day
Just bought a fc about a month ago and planning on sending it in an event in hampton va on dec 12th
I just bought a chassis to build into a drift E46, I’m gonna make a little content on it here and there but I’m really hoping I can go hard building it after we (gf and I) buy this house and fix our daily’s being my truck and her car. So many projects, and so much content to make 😂
My first time i was introduced to drifting was with my day and his service van... we pulled in this banks parking lot that had snow and he smiled said hang on and pointed the nose of the 1 tonne van at the bank all the way around and snapped it back right before we got the to drive through window of this bank.... it was the strangest feeling ever
I like how you mention the kunimitsu guy, because most people think its the tsuya guy
Drifted my car in an intersection in mexico, noticed there was a cop and pulled over to the side and put my hazards on and proceeded to pretend it was accidental (raining) the guy asked me if i was ok and gave me tips on how to take turns better in the rain 😅🤟🏽
Thanks Linus!
