Good front tires are required in this case to make sure that you can still point the front to where you want it to be (not necessarily the direction that your car moves ). I might be wrong here, but I think a good drift means that your rear tires ARE able to put the power down to the ground even while going sideways, that why it's also called power slide. So kdeleon that means you're not going fast enough! (ducking.) My Miata has the AC removed and if I start sliding and run out of talent, it will slide all four racing tires sideways. You could also try adding pressure in 1-2 pound increments to the rear tires which makes them stiffer. Too much throttle, or you lifted at the wrong time. Something else that might help.if you spin, you forgot to do something or did too much of something.

With such a small wheelbase, you're sawing at the steering to get it to slide and stay pointed in the proper direction. The steering feedback on the Miata is also much better. The Miata will also hold a drift, but I have a limited slip. The truck will definately hold the drift longer under power, but the steering doesn't provide any feedback whatsoever. My experience is with my tow vehicle and my Miata racecar.

Get a good adjustable sway bar for the back and set it to the hardest setting, you'll get the tail to come around and you'll need the good tires and alignment to keep it there and not to lose it. The key for a good drift is to be able to maintain balance while going sideways, which is why crappy tires in the back won't help you - they will only help you getting the tail to slide out but not to keep it there - you'll probably spin the car if you have enough speed. I wouldn't go setting more camber in the front than back, RWD cars need more camber in the rear to maintain proper balance usually, which is a very important thing to drift. Ken, from my experience, you don't need much more than a stiff sway bar in the back to have the tail sliding all over the place, especially with the turbo. Do the same on shocks if you have adjustables. Stiffen sways at the rear if possible or simply raise the rear tire pressure. This will give more grip upfront than the rear. Set your neg camber up front to 2 and set your rear to 1. Having said that, here's what the typical drift suspension setup: A turbo will augment the power problem as well. Crappy tires at the rear should aid this problem. I've done it a couple of times in autocross (fun runs) and my success rate is not too good. No question, a nice controlled "drift" can be done but it's just technically harder compared to the other longer-wheelbased cars.
