your nitro will drift but its going to be hard for you since the steering isnt the greatest on a 4tec. drifting is all about throttle control and knowing when to let off or give it more gas. keep your rpms low and try not to let off as its trying to shift . keep your car in 1st gear and that should help alot. other than that just get a good set a drift tires. remember nitros eat up drift tires so it can get costly. fuel isnt cheap either
