  Drifting on public roads in singapore is banned?if so, which charge does it come under? (Reckless driving)?
  
  Drifting techniques mainly use clutch.
  By engaging and disengaging the clutch, will it wear and tear easily?
  
  Drifting cars need more power (above 500hp)?
  
  My friend has told me that when engine rpm falls below a specific limit, the drift is broken and you will spin out of control.Can anyone clarify this
  
  Airflow to the engine is mainly through vented hoods, if not, why not take out the entire hood?
  
  Modern engines ,such as the recent Nissan Cefiro V6 and the new GT-R VR38DETT are impossible to mod?
  
  Why is it that AWD cars can not drift?
  
  Is turbo necessary in a drift event?
  
  Can anyone just seat in a car and drift?
  Is singapore considering to build a facility whereby street drifters can drift legally?
  
  Thanks.

  Don't ever drift on public roads. There is a proper place for such things.
  
  Go to the Silvia forums for proper advice.

  Thanks.

  U know how hard it is to drive a 500 BHP car ? 280 i already jiat lat with racing clutch ar.
  
  Disengaging and engaging and revving of course will wear out the clutch faster. Its manual man.
  
  Drift only broken if u oversteer , and it wont drift if u under-powered. he he.. as in.. TOO SLOW.. lol.. normally rev at a certain limit so ur tyres can grip and road and control it while drifting.
  
  Airflow goes through vent intake , and different cars may be located at different places, thats why one of the things to mod is the airflow. Factory ones normally are too bulky and the air flow is not as effecient.
  
  VR38DETT is not say impossible to mod. Mod what ?
  
  Turbo NOT necesasry for drift
  
  Seat in a car and drift ? he he... ya.. u need to sit in a car to drift. LOL! he he. U can drift anywhere la. I dunno whether its legal in SG or not. Maybe at specific areas during specific events ?

  If you are really interested in drifing , go and ask the pros not the internet warriors or ppl who dont know shit but still talk shit . End of the day listening to non-pros will only get u more confuse and more stupid.

  The Electric New Paper :
  Tossed around but drifting's exhilarating
  
  By Faith Teo
  02 January 2008
  
  WARNING: If you want to go drifting in Mr Jansen Tan's car, make sure you have no back (or heart) problems.
  
  Drifting feels like being in a washing machine on spin-dry mode - with the machine not quite being able to decide which direction to spin.
  
  But it was exhilarating, and the five-minute demonstration felt like seconds as I was tossed back and forth despite being very securely belted down in Mr Tan's Nissan 200SX.
  
  At one point, as the 26-year-old driver was doing tight spins known as 'donuts', I realised he was not holding on to the steering wheel.
  
  The man was busy waving to the crowd.
  
  People squealed in delight as his tyres squealed, their turning angle controlled only by the weight of his right foot on the gas pedal.
  
  Me? I squealed too.
  
  But I knew I was in safe hands, because Mr Tan is Singapore's top drifter.
  
  Power slides (drifts through corners at high speed), technical drifts (slower but requiring more skill and experience), split-second 180-degree turns - they are all in a day's work for him.
  
  Amazingly, Mr Tan, who came in fourth in the international D1 Grand Prix Malaysia last year, is a self-taught race car driver.
  
  It is his first international competition, and it makes him the highest placed Singaporean so far.
  
  He said: 'I've been drifting for about five years. I started by watching Japanese videos of drifts, then I would practise doing them in empty trailer carparks. I've never received instructions from anyone.'
  
  Next up for him: A race in Japan.
  
  For me, I just want my drift-induced backache to go away.
