Can You Drift an AWD Subaru WRX???

Well I didn't nail the figure eight :( But got some practice in and figured out that my cooling system still needs a lot of work.
This surface was so hard to slide on! It has so much grip that it made it hard to break loose and keep the turbo spooled. Looking forward to getting more practice, now we have a set of chunked tires we need to blow the tread off! :)

Dude that’s a great question and you’re on track! It fully depends what you want to do with it. If you go WRX drifting will be out of the question especially in stock form. BRZ will be a lot cheaper and drift. But if it’s a daily and you live where there is snow AWD is nice!

[@bt-xl8lt]

I wouldn’t recommend “drifting” it. These cars can “reliably” power slide through some hairpins, and some dynamic drifting is possible on tarmac, but the only place where you can reliably get sideways in a wrx is on loose surfaces. The problem lays in the cars differentials and trans as they weren’t built to take the abuse of true drifting. They can handle an ebrake turn one in a while, but without a rally transmission and differentials, your going to be shredding your drivetrain.

[@deimosphob]

You really need to use an ebrake to do "drifting" in an AWD car. Actually, handbrake turns were created so that AWD cars could efficiently oversteer in rally races as they created way more understeer than normal. However, doing so with a stock diff will cause issues in a-lot of cars, thus meaning you might have to set your ebrake to disengage rwd or unlock the center diff "sending power to the front wheels when ebrake is applied," It'll still be a whole different animal than most other drift cars, but you'll begin to learn the potentials of your car. The r32 gtr's transfer case is especially great because you can switch between RWD and AWD. However still not giving you the joy of going completely sideways in a FWD/AWD open diff setup

[@thatsclassified1]

So all I need in my g37x is a diff?

[@deimosphob]

@@thatsclassified1 no, for awd g37x's you can make a jumper lead off of your awd control unit to make a button to switch to rwd. You're likely to blow a fuse if you switch it with the car on tho. Then you can look into diffs for drifting like an LSD. But still unless you can build some power or do scandanavian flicks you're limited to rwd drifting and no awd drifting.

It really depends on the differentials. This is usually 100000x easier but this surface was extremely grippy and I wasn’t running fight tire pressure making it very challenging.

[@justinturner4850]

Max Cotton Drifter there are many ways to initiate a drift. Weight transfer, shift lock, power over, clutch kick, and handbrake. For me a four wheel drift is still a drift. But not front wheel. back in 2004 a front drive civic won a local drift event in Oahu by dragging the handbrake through the turns and everyone was pissed! I’m embarrassed to even admit it but it’s 100% true story

[@MaxCotton]
