RE: 1st time drifting
Yes.. All 4 Wheels need to be Piped..
You have to think of it as this way.. Your essentially making an AWD into a 80/40 Split AWD when you only pipe the rears..
All Tyres must be Equal to achieve the perfect slide...
Practice is good if you have an Idea or a method from the beginning...
Sounds like you had fun and thats the main thing...
