You will crash or roll your car. And YEs it is VERY easy to flip your car drifting. Drifting means all 4 wheels are sliding in a controled slide. This takes speed, HP and good hadling, something the Yaris does not have... To really drift and control it while accelerating you need rear wheel drive or allwheel drive, something the yaris also does not have. The ONLY way you are going to drift a FWD car is coming into a turn very hard and very fast, set up and brake for a bit of oversteer and continue to steer into it until the rear end has started to come around. At this time you counter steer and maintain the momentum keeping the rear wheels loose and then slide it around a corner. Often you will need to use the e-brake to help break the rear wheels loose. But most new driver or drivers with no experiance tend to let the rear end come around too much and they either wipe out or the car hooks up and flips over. But again if you have that little of driving skills don't even try to do it on pavement. If you mess up even a little this is what happens http://youtube.com/watch?v=9CpujJDW9nY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu5vY...elated&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMrJj...elated&search= http://www.metacafe.com/watch/50877/...rifting_crash/

That's not autocross It's gymkhana BIG difference!
That video is from the Yokota air force base in Tokyo, my friends used to run there all the time. The 1.3l Vitz is available with AWD in Asia... if the drivetrain fits the 1.5l that would be the easiest way to convert to RWD |

hey yeah that's a pretty cool idea actually! Combine that with an engine swap to a 1.8 or 2L engine, and it would be a BEAST!

There is one Yaris that can drift, it has been converted to RWD and powered by a 2.7L Tacoma engine.

I lose the rear end of the Yaris all the damn time. It drives me crazy. 50% of the time I will take a corner hard and it will stay nice and flat. The thing that surprises me the most is the amount of tire squeal. I can take a left turn across a two-lane road at 45 MPH with little to no squeal... pretty impressive. However, if there is any (and I mean any) moisture on the ground, back end comes around and I'm countersteering and steadying the throttle.
