You won't see many wrx's drifting. Except for maybe Rally and Initial D. It's pretty hard to drift an AWD car on the tarmac. But here's some pics for ya...

I have a nice vid of a, I assume rally prepped(highly tuned), white STI drifting around a tarmac corner quite a few times. Too bad it's on my defunked desktop, needs a processor. I tried looking on Nasioc for the thread that linked to it for download, but it's been maybe 2-3 years, no clue where that thread is now. I've seen/have some gravel and snow vids too, just very few tarmac stuff. You need good power for that type of thing unless you're only doing 90s and such, then inertial stuff works happily. I'll have to dig around on my desktop for some of better vids I have. I've amassed a nice little pile over the years.

As far as pics for awd, it's not as "pretty" as rwd. With a neutral tune, you're pretty much driving straight but at a slight slip angle(when maintaining a drift). I've you've seen rally vids, you've seen awds drift, WRXs, EVOs, your dad's 4x4 F-150, whatever, lol. There's no *Censored**Censored**Censored* out, full lock stuff...unless you're coming in off-throttle or the rear end snaps out from a loss of traction(or perhaps torque transfer to the rear) or you mess up.

I've been running my Forester for over two years and drift it lightly. With stock level power and suspension, it's stuck to gravel and snow, but the Subarus do well. The all viscous diffs are a little bit of a pain as they are quite random depending on individual tire traction and aren't really strong enough to work well on asphalt(not sure how much abuse they can take at those grip/power levels). The STI's adjustable center diff and aftermarket locking diffs can really tune in a setup and make the car far more predictable.

Stock understeers a bit, but suspension can tune that out. The wagons are a little less front heavy and the Forester variat is actually slightly rear heavy, quite rotatable on slippery surfaces where suspension has less of an impact. I'd love to do some suspension work on mine, but all my funding goes to school first. A dedicated track car a few years down the line will be my real play thing.

That vid isn't bad for giving you a hint of the way a Subaru drifts. He's not controlled with it perse, but the little bit he maintains is trademark awd drifting. He's just not...good...with it.

If you're considering a WRX as a possible purchase, they aren't a bad platform to work with. In stock form, they're civil and very functional. They just understeer. You'll need to do at least some minor suspension tuning to make them driftable on asphalt. You just have to get the handling a bit more neutral so you don't have to work at getting it to rotate. If you've never drifted an awd, it's...different. See the awd drifting guide in the Technique section. I personally consider awd to be the hardest platform to drift well . There's just more things happening, and you actually lose some control(not sure if that's the right word) by having the steering/power tied together on the front wheels. You have completely independent control of the front and rear of the car with a rwd through steering and throttle. The ability to fine tune the drift is easier as it's not based both on throttle and steering inputs together.

Here in Australia we have the JVC WRX that takes part in the drift comps here, as well as some Liberty wagons (Legacys) drifting around here, they have all been converted to RWD thanks to MRT who sell a part that replaces the center diff in the gear box. there also a few other ppl around aus that thought it was fun to stick this part in as well lol.

there will be a pic of the JVC WRX on that site for sure

cheers

oh and we are soon to be having a RWD drift Forester!

One I came across very recently:

Still have no clue where that other vid went, got my desktop running but couldn't find the vid yet... The above is a nice one showing the awd style of drift. The process is quite a bit different than rwd, but the techniques are the same.
