Go to a big empty space. put in 1st gear then turn your wheel all the way to either right or left. rev up to about 4-5K rpm. let go the clutch then once the tail slides try to control it.

Put Limited Slip Differential to make it into drifting.

You shouldn't have any problem losing control of your car

If you are in a big parking lot, you dun't need to dump the clutch to break adhesion and swing the rear around. Once your at speed, depending on how big of a circle you are running, all you have to do is turn in at a speed that is slightly higher than the car is capable of maintaining adhesion, and there you go.

The smaller the circle you run, the less speed it takes to rotate the car. On a super short oval, 25 mph will bring the rear end around, and this is on dry ground. The same scenario on wet pavement, will cause your car will rotate with absolutely no effort.

Have fun and don't hit the curb
