Sorry but i'm french so you could read some language mistakes ! 
My name is Bastien, frenchy, 36 year old. I only've Bay, Bug or Beetle. No modern car at home.
I have and drive this car since 14 year, and have all restored. I use it Daily, and on Grip Circuit + Drift since 2000.
The drift, I beging it in september 2010 with two Training day. The japans cars are surprising  
I realy beging drift here on a little circuit ,2006, with 85 hp so don't laught please :

Now with 150 hp (atmo), I can drive right in the middle japans car. It'snt easy but I'm not afraid because I usually drive on circuit with other beetles. A amateur Beetle grip Challenge, the Daily Driver CUP :

Looks cool sideways! The oversteer looks kind of snappy though. I wonder if you could do something to make that back end a little more slippery?

Thank for your reply. 
No LSD, no turbo, no hand-breaking .. just feint drift or power drift !!
Suspansion are the standard KYB strong the shopVW dealers deals. But I adjust the wheel trains.
2100 cc (94 x 76) :
Who is Kamikase ?
