Tech Guides

Our Beginner Guides section is perfect if you’re new to the scene. It provides easy-to-follow breakdowns of essential drift techniques and setups. From there, we cover everything from initiations to weight transfer and (hopefully) backward entry mastery, while helping you avoid common first-timer mistakes (we’ve all been there!).

Looking for your next project car? The Car Guides section explores everything from budget drift cars that are still cheap (they still exist, promise!) to the legendary machines that dominated the scene. Whether you’re eyeing up a JDM car that’s finally available for US import or want a throwback to the best cars featured in Tokyo Drift, we’ve got detailed breakdowns of almost anything drift-related you can think of.

For the engine geeks like us (don’t worry – you’ve come to the right place!), our Engine Guides dive under the hood of the most popular powerplants in drifting, and beyond. From the versatile Honda K24 with its surprising drift potential to the iconic 2JZ-GTE that continues to dominate drifting podiums decades later, we explore what makes these engines special (or terrible!) and how you can get the most out of them.

We don’t just stick to the ordinary, either. Our guides explore everything from the coolest RC drift cars for those wanting to practice their skills without the huge financial outlay, to some of the most bonkers drift builds from across the globe that push the boundaries of what’s possible (where a little more cash has been spent!)

Whether looking for a throwback to the best JDM cars of the nineties or wanting to discover the best drifting YouTube channels, these Tech Guides will help you build your knowledge alongside your dream car. It’s the perfect place to burn some time before diving into our Tuning Guides for the next stage of your build.
