Answer 1

This is just a guess, but I would try a neutral slam.

First, skip the "neutral slam" and "just pop the clutch" stuff - you have too much traction, and the Mitsubishi clutch won't take the punishment. Besides, that'll (at best) lock up all your tyres - if that worked, you could just use the brake pedal. The handbrake can help to get the back moving, but you should first remove the release button on the handbrake lever, as having it stick, even for a moment, can put you into a wall. Also, a firmer rear sway bay will make the back of the car want to step out, and will make it more controllable once you are sideways. Finally, a couple of extra pounds of air in the rear tyres will help get it loose. Don't overdo it, or you won't have enough traction left to control the drift (35-38 lb will usually do the trick, with about 30 lb in the front).

The real trick is to (smoothly) downshift first, then turn the car so that the rear tyres are already close to the limits of adhesion. Then push the clutch in momentarily and pull on the handbrake. Follow up with hard on the gas and countersteering. Don't expect wild, lurid slides, though - unless your torque split is at least 25/75 front/rear, the front will pull the car straight, as it still has traction, and the back does not. This is why rally cars have 4WD - to REDUCE the amount of time spent sideways!

Always remember: Mitsu clutches are not all that strong, and the gearbox's baulk rings (sometimes refered to as synchro rings) tend to fail easily. Don't downshift without matching revs, or jerk on the drivetrain - or you'll leave pieces of it on the road behind you.

Answer 3

It's really difficult!
Depends on which type of drifting you want to do.
First you have to understand over steer. This is when the back end of the car rotates in the direction of the turn. All wheel cars are better at grip races not drifting. One reason is Awd cars are NOT suited for drifting. Drifts can be initiated through weight transfer but AWD cars will move the power to stabilize the car rather than to keep the drift going. So in other words If your loosing control of an AWD it will gain control by sending power to the slipping wheel. As the saying goes " If you are not out of control. You are not in control."

Answer 4

well its harder than in a RWD but it can be done - get the backend to start its slide towards the outside of the corner - usually done with a hand brake, then begin your countersteer, downshift and give it the gas.

Answer 5

do a hackie- go into the turn, downshift without rev-matching and pop the clutch. Then countersteer and gas.

Answer 6

I would just down shift and cut the wheel at the same time as u gas the hell out of it.

Answer 7

pump your tires up to 40 psi , get on ice and have at it
