I had been drifting my evo for about 5 months now, the only dowwnsides i saw are quick tire wear and alignments being massively off. Clutch still grabs ok and tranny still shift smoothly.

Use cheap all-weather tires and the car will drift in one flick on the steering. I only do it maybe twice a week though in a controlled parking lot with some friends, its just fun doing all wheel drifts.

Yes its true that drifting will take its toll on the car sooner or later, also if your horse power is up to like 350 or more whp you have a better chance at drifting an AWD w/what ever kind of tires ; but I will recomend that you do get some all season tires , get in a controlled area like a very large parking lot: learn to drift their first then take it to the streets . but remember while drifting don't ever break stay on it during a drift and take control of the situation , [ - have fun and be safe - ] 356hp 22 lbs on pump , & 12.2@108mph 22lbs on 116 octane
