Ok, here's a question. I got real use to drifting useing my lackluster real easy powersteering



I havnt gotten a chance to break in my new tires and do a little sliding since i took my power steering pump off.. My question is:



1. Do you 'have' to have powersteering to drift?

2. Does it make it easier?

3. I think that's it.



thanks

as long as you can steer it well enough without the power steering you should be fine.

additionally when drifting without power steering, when you change direction of drift, the steering wheel yanks out of your hands pretty hard so be careful as i almost broke my fingers

I think its better not to have power steering, cos you have more control or knowledge of exactly which ways your tyres are pointing, but then... I drive a fb.
