i just happen to get a auto 240 a while back... first thing to practice is donuts in low gear... mainly 1st or 2nd.... see how the car slides... but you have to know what kind of differential you have... open diff's tend to do better on left hand turn slides..... next try power over.... come into the corner ..jerk the wheel and floor it.... theres also feint drift which i wont go into explaining but i wouldnt recommend doing it in a car you just got.... never use the e brake.... its soo bad on the tranny i dont like it at all....
How to Drift an Automatic:
- Feint drift... do a weight transition... and give it some throttle
- Power Over.... turn hard... floor it... or give it alot of gas.. have fun
- E-Brake.... turn the car... wait for the car to actually turn.. and pull up the Ebrake until the back end slides out.. and give it throttle.
There is noting wrong with the E-Brake in an Automatic car. With a manual transmission.. you put in the CLUTCH disengaging the transmission from the ENGINE.
However, with an automatic transmission, the transmission is always disengaged from the engine and is never directly connected. Rather the torque converter allows the movement of the engine to transfer to the transmission.
When you pull up on the eBrake on an automatic transmission... your torque converter simply is still in use like it always is and doesn't put any strain on the engine.. except for the ability to push the driveshaft from the differential due to the pressure of the tires going sideways.
Puts your engine in a little bit more work.. but still works.. and doesn't damage it. It will however damage it over time... but hell... everything damages something over time. The wear is much less than an standard transmission.. due to the engagements from the clutch.. when you slam the throttle down and dump the clutch.

How do these things get started? There is no proper drifting - it has no place in either street driving or in competitive driving. Like all scrubbing maneuvers it results in loss of speed and is essentially a minor spin-out. Good drivers avoid it under all conditions unless they are showing off for a paying crowd on a rented course. The rear tires are not impressed, of course, and the rear wheel bearings are not designed for that sort of side load. Rear wheel drive cars often suffer damage to the ring and pinion gears in the differential because of power being applied while the inside wheel is spinning faster than the outside wheel. Differentials really hate that.

its kinda hard but you have to tap the brake to pitch it side ways, and fan the clutch ti keep your rpms up. its bad on the clutch but it kick *** wen you do it right

I can't tell you on here, I would have to show you. Just keep practicing (safely).

change tyres? or trade in for a S15 silvia.
