Hehe. I've been trying to do a 180 on pavement. So far I've only gotten a little over 90 degrees. Any suggestions?

Where do you guys find the space to practice drifting? I'm lucky if I can find an open patch of road to romp on it.

make sure ur in a big parking lot.
go to one end just gun it. about half way spin the wheel to the left or right. im sure ull spin out.
or u could just put trays under ur rear tires and pull up the handbrake and accelerate

I did a pretty nice one by complete accident about a year ago. Scared the $hit out of me. It happened so quickly that I don't really even know how it happened. All of the sudden I was turned 180 to the left and then back 180 to the right...
