[SHIFT_drift]

i found this one somewhere on the net which supposedly means drift.. i dunno if it's kanji or what...

That says "drift" or do-ri-fu-to in katakana-- katakana is the character set japanese use to translate foreign words (like English words). Kanji is different cause it looks like chinese characters. I'm not sure there is a kanji for 'drift.'

I don't think there is actual kanji for drifting or for the sport itself.

mostly you'll see dori or dorifuto in katakana as mentioned before.

the middle one is hiragana.

Do you have japanese support?

ƒhƒŠƒtƒg=drift. Also in my custom title..
ƒhƒŠƒLƒ“��Drift King
ŽR=mountain

Explain enough.You'll only be able to see this if your comp supports japanese.

That is all Katakana. the 'ri' Hiragana, and Katakana look the same.

^ The whole thing is Katakana. Hiragana and Katakana use a very similar character for, "Ri" but it isn't the same. As the person above me just said...damn these slow fingers.

There is no kanji for, "drift" in the context that you are talking about. I'm not even sure why you're asking, I mean, why would you want to be another fool on the street with kanji that you can't read yourself? Seriously, it just looks bad.

exactizzlely...drifting is a foreign word and thats why its in katakana

Touge has a kanji for it because it meens mountain road. Drift is a western word that is spelled in romaji. Romaji is written in Katakana and sometimes Hiragana to be diffewrent like sighns, and adds.

Dude I bought it for its parts. Sr20 de no turbi, auto, but it has the projecter headlights and a clean interior. Runs good but far from a drift car.

how much cheaper would it be if i were going to buy from you and have it drive down to kanagawa..rather than buying an over priced one here?

lots

[markeese180sx]

what could you do for around 300,000 yen?

[driftxtreem]

thats like three grand but I could get you a good entry level drift car and get it on the road. (shaken)

Ooohh... that would explain why i couldn't find the kanji symbol for drift then.. alright, thanks for all your help guys (and maybe gals.. i dunno, it's possible)

I realize this is an old thread, but I wanted to post an update. Considering the word 'drift' is technically an American English term, it has been translated.

The JDM magazine Drift Tengoku (Drift Paradise) uses this version. It has lead to some confusion since the title uses one hiragana translation next to traditional kanji [ドリフト 天国]

DO RI FU TO = ド リ フ ト
