Would I try this with my Porsche, hell no, I cannot be replacing tyres every week and repairing this that and the other because I cannot get my car to hook-up, which it does very well thank you.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Tokyo Drift and Redline had pretty bad reviews. Personally, I liked both, probably in part cuz the reviews lowered my expectation somewhat. But really, these types of movies don't need plot or drama, fast cars and sexy girls are all what it's about. I take it most of you here liked the movies?
Too bad Tokyo Drift didn't have P cars doing the drift, that would have been nice. In the youtube, I saw this guy once early this year doing a 180 degree drift in a mountain trail with a Turbo. Since then I really wanted to learn to drift. Anyone here drift with your P car?
Cheers
Yeah occasionally but it's usually not on purpose. LOL
If you are considering drifting there are far better choices of cars out there than a 911. With the engine slung out at the rear of the car the 911 gets too much traction to be an effective drift car. Which, by the way, was the idea behind the design.
The 911 is the anti-drift car.
They sure were moving around a lot in that Evo; you think they'd get better seats! With regards to the Turbo being AWD: you can still slide around AWD cars, just watch a rally
. Incidentally, the Evo in the movie was converted to RWD so that tells you which is better. I've always liked drifting, it's very photogenic. Shows like Top Gear would be much more boring if they didn't slide round the corners with smoke billowing. Having it as a sport? Not sure about that....
With regards to drifting a Porsche: my car wasn't on the road long enough to break the tyres loose, let alone get the rear end wagging. Plus, 911s are somewhat notorious for their snap oversteer - just ask Jeremy Clarkson (he crashes a GT3 in his latest DVD) - so they're not the best cars to drive on the ragged edge IMHO.
yes, i did drift, not on purpose, and hit a lot of things in the process and ended up buying a new porsche the day after. oh, after i drifted and before i visited the dealership the next day i was in the ER charming the nurses.
Damn, this place has truly gone to he**. Between the Ebonics and the know it all Proffesors, WTF is going on here? I remember when Rennlist was about P-cars and helping other P-car owners. What is it now?
I've seen a 911 drift but according to my friends who drift race, Turbo'd 240sx's and old celicas are the most common choice, though you have Supras, GTO's (very easy to drift) and Skylines that do well too.
Drifting is a sport, you know.
Your question is like a person who likes Football stating to a person who likes Rugby. "Why play Rugby, it's a stupid sport that makes no sense to me."
As was said earlier, Porsches are not the choice for drifting, especially 911s with the engine in the rear. P-cars are designed to go around corners quickly and in control. The guy in the GT3 video is a highly skilled driver, especially so as he was trusted with the car so near those rock walls!
I don't know if you noticed but I mentioned the most common cars used for drifting in a previous post. Drifting as a sport requires highly skilled drivers especially if you understand and know the rules of the game.
I just finished watching this movie on HD-DVD and what I can tell you is this:
1. There is nothing like watching HD-DVD on a 73" 1080p Mitsubishi Diamond Series TV utilizing a Toshiba XA2, Onkyo TX-NR1000 pushing sound out to the 7.1 Klipsch Reference Series speaker setup.
2. The drivers are highly talented although there was a lot of computer generated crap in the movie too.
3. The girls in the movie are damn hot, I don't think I saw one ugly one at all, very pleasing to the eyes.
4. Cars are nice.
5. Drifting is not my cup of tea.
6. Why would anyone want to go by the nickname 'Twinkie', it's a slang name used to describe a young gay man. But then if he is, that's cool.
7. The chicks in the movir are hot...oh wait I already said that, oh well it's the truth.
Overall I will give this movie a 3 out of 5.
Would I try this with my Porsche, hell no, I cannot be replacing tyres every week and repairing this that and the other because I cannot get my car to hook-up, which it does very well thank you.
I watched Grand Prix in HD the other day and that was awesome.
Yep as Mr. C4 says, it is a stock piece that comes with the GT3 aero kit. Most were painted to match the colour of the car. I installed mine a few months back but left it black as you can see in my avatar.
If you are missing it, get it. If you need part number for it, here it is: 996-512-988-00
Speaking of drifting a Porsche, this takes a lot of car controll skill.

Ciao,
J.
All comments about style, RWD and AWD for drifting aside.. You remember the part in the movie where he is practicing and announces that he needs another set of tires? It eats tires.
FF3 was not about the sport of drifiting, it was about street racing, and they tried to make the viewer believe that drifting is the fastest way around a corner, which is simply not true. So in that context, I stand by my question... WHY would you want to do it?
I watched a little drift racing yesterday on the TV and saw no sport at all in it other than who can make more smoke than the other person. It only became exciting when the cars hit each other...very similar to NASCAR where the crash is the only time it gets exciting. So with that said, and the fact I do not watch NASCAR, I will not consider drifting as a sport but more entertainment, but I can get the same entertainment of drifiting by watching the news reports of drifting on the local freeways (i.e. 880 in Oakland).
I know I feel as if I took over this thread, but I wanted to add that the coolest part of the movie was when they were doing donuts around the car at the stop light with the girls in it, now that was pretty amazing skill.
My Tivo recorded an episode of "Redline TV" last night via the "PORSCHE" wish list (keyword.) The episode featured a '96 GT2 drifter by JIC Magic. It was pretty interesting to see the suspension, steering, and engine mods necessary to turn the GT2 into a competent drifter. Anyway, try to catch the re-run on SPEED HD -- I am sure they will air it again. In the meantime, check out the page on the JIC Magic website:

Sorry to see your pcar banged up like that. Hope it gets fixed soon and be as good as new. Only if you had a 01 blk/blk 996 C2 coupe tip 28K miles out of warranty......
