woops didn't notice it was multiple choice. I voted for total noob, but also meant to vote for get to the track now. Get to the track and learn some real skills. I'm also guessing this is you (OP) driving? If you want to start racing your car, look up your local SCCA autocross, or SCCA Time Trials, and get on the track. What your doing there is what 16yr old boys do in daddy's car. Btw I say this with a friendly smile, but stand by the message
As for blowing your diff, not going to happen in this situation. Your on stock tires, with limited grip, the diff can handle that. Its when you move to R-comps or drag radials that you run the risk of breaking things.

Congrats on the new car! Sure beats that FWD Civic huh? Get to the track before you hurt yourself on a country road.

Stick in the curves? NONSENSE!!! It's RWD, so it must be an awesome drifter. Right?

Reference the RSR S2000 drift car. The steering rack was swapped with an RX7, along with a laundry list of other modifications.
That being said, good luck.

I have a 350Z in GT5 that I am using as my drift car, but it didn't work very well until after I added all of the possible power modifications. Now it isn't too bad and it is much easier to be able to maintain drift angles through the longer corners.

Before I read the post my first thought was that this person does not understand the difference between drifting and donuts.
After reading the thread, I agree that the S is too well balanced and lacks the torque needed to be a "drifting machine" (except maybe in the wet?).sigpic
P.S. I have driven an S in Hawaii, but it wasn't mine. Does that count?

Rating your ability here.
While you understand that there is a need to counter steer, all your donuts are very slow speeds. You didnt try to drift it around the lamp poles or around the dirt for a lap or 2 around it. You didnt have some speed and do a drift around anything. If you want to try real drifting though, try it on track and try it at faster speeds than here. Doing real drifting in the s2000 is possible but extremely difficult, the stock spring rates are too soft for it mostly IMO, and the diff brings you back to center really quickly.
Next video drift around that piece of grass maybe?
