  • Drifting with an MR2-second generation

    Is there any reason not to drift with a second generation MR2?

            I made a mistake, it was my friend's cousin. $500 and it ran great! But the front bumper was dented.

              i've heard it's really hard to get that thing sideways and hold it same with the NSX due to it's MR layout.

                Yeah, i wanted to post the question "Drifting a MR car" as I have a Fiero (same setup as MR2) and wanted to know the "trick" to drifting a mid-engine, rwd car.

                Fom wut i have read online, it can be done, but the "snap back" action of the car and steering wheel can be HARSH cause it grips the road faster than a FR car due to the weight where it is. i guess the style is different that an MR car since the weight is distributedley differently.....doing this in a MR car needs LOTS of balance and control from wut ive heard (and tried )

                mr cars are some of the best handling cars out there...eg. for circuit the great, and good for hooking when u launch them in the 1/4 mile...but form drift....i supose they can be used if u do it right....but otehrwise, stick to FR for drifitng. fair assumption?

                but sh!t, im doing it anwayys

                  you can do it

                  Drifting an mid engine car is not as hard as you think. But you have to have a limted slip diff. The way i do it, is to brake drift ( i think thats what they call it). As you approach the turn , just b4 the turn in, tap the brakes, and shift the weight of the car to the front wheels, causing your rear to slide. As the car begins to pt in the exit direction ease back on the gas. The amount of braking and gas done is different depending on the type of suspension, weight of car, and the power. good luck!

                        They can definitely drift:
