Differential... look it up. You have a lot to learn. It is one of the most important parts of a car. For drifting, there's not too much to it. But it plays a huge roll in handling characteristics in other motorsports. For drifting you need a good clutch type limited slip, or us cheap asses just weld up a open diff.

Go to clubloose.com and see when the next NightMoves is. It is a parking lot event that is great to learn at. Once you get better you can try the roadcourse.

I have nothing against street drifting if your smart about it. Late night, no population areas are cool. Populated street drifting is bad.
Okay, I'll prbly end up taking all unnecessary stuff out anyway tho.. Haha wow I feel like a complete idiot I know what differential is..one question about that though, I have looked at limited slips, but apparently there's several types, eg a fluid type, a clutch, and a gear. From what I've read the clutch type seems to offer the most performance. Any thoughts? And I won't be practicing on the streets, or drifting on the streets even when I'm good,unless I'm out in the middle of nowhere. Thx for all your help man
