Keiichi Tsuchiya Drift an MR2 Part3 (Dubbed)

How to drift an MR2 MK-II Turbo (SW20), Part 3 - English Dubbed / Letterbox version
By the Drift King (DK) "Dori Dori" Keiichi Tsuchiya.

The Toyota MR2 (2nd Generation 1990-1999 here) is a mid-engine rear-drive car and is very difficult to drift because of its tendency to snap oversteer (180 spin) when the rear wheels break loose. A midship design has superior handling characteristics until pushed too far, then the rear can come around very quickly. Keiichi here does the impossible and drifts even the MR2. The drifts are old style with little or no smoke. Listen for the tires squealing and look for the countersteering. From inside the car, you can see when the view is not facing the road, then you know it's sideways...

Instead of a cup of water as in Initial D (Bunta), they are using the 3 red gravity balls to show the car's attitude and weight transition. Red light on front show when braking.

heel toe isnt technically a drift technique, its a way of down shifting to speed match the 'box and engine revs! he is using weight shift and power over to get the slides. which is what i use with my V6'd MR2. takes some kahoona but you get used to it!

This guy isn't called Drift King for nothing... I know how loose a MR2 can get... I've got one and getting it sideways is definitely not something you want!! :-P

If ur after a drift car stick with a front engine rear wheel drive! ;)

@wajalama 2800 isn't all dat light. Now 2500 is light.

Look at the little red balls. Look at how they curve around the centre everytime he does a feint. His weight transfer's so precise.

I've been practicing for alittle while now n im starting to be able to swing my tail on my mk2

it's more like downshift to second, stab brake(forces weight forward), turn, release brake-> E brake at same time as brake release, once ur starting to slide rev, see ur exit drop ebrake dump clutch, slide real pretty like, make the girls cream their panties, ride away clean :) and there u have it lol

Kami!

what kind of steering wheel is that?

[DjBodie]

@Gin132456 yes but if the a/c is removed at the back the car must be balanced again and stock exhaust also removed to ye but i see what you mean m8

[Gin132456]

@DjBodie removing the wheel in the front should be giving you more understeer. because you need to brake and throw the weight forward and then you can get the back tires up.

MR2 looks gorgeous sideways, that angle! It swings out so quickly yet keiichi keeps it under control

ill comment on where some of the weight comes from on an mr2 that is stock ,it comes from the exhaust system/cat/manifold/ /i fitted a full de cat stainless on so some weight saved alot of weight in fact as just a turbo elbow is so heavy ,then there comes the stock seats try lifting one of these seats outside of the car it is not light at all ,then the spare wheel can be removed saving more weight,this is what ive done i dont know how much my car will weigh now but has to be alot less than b4

@montecarlomayne Well, 2800 is still pretty light IMO. The 240sx weighs around 2700 and people consider it light also. :)
