take it into an empty parking lot, if a cop gives you a hard time, explain what you're doing and why, it's not easy to learn things like this, and EVERYONE should know how to do emergency breaking, steering, ect...
It's more critical for motorcycles than cars, but RWD's can be mean when they lose traction, you're just lucky it's not a porsche (which like to go ass first into ditches)

If you're too strapped to buy a pair of rear tires you might have some problems if and when anything else breaks on the car. I know because I was doing doughnuts and whatnot in a parking lot and blew some hoses and things and cost myself a penny. The supra is a money hog, you'll know this soon.

I've had my car for about a month now and i have found the thing do cost alot. Which is why ebay has turned into my best friend. But what some say is true. Find a parking lot or just enough room to practice and do it. It helped me on all my cars.
can you say, "wreckless driving" and $500 for the fine.cry4me_sky said:
the best thing to do is stay out of it around a corner. and get some new tires.
I done a 180 in my 87 N/A Supra also coming off of a ramp going onto the highway but I knew that their was no cars comming so I hit that shit at 40mph and I just wish I has that on video because that was one of my best moments in my Supra.

yeah and theyre hard tires too. like noe tread at all. idk if i should wait until next spring (i have snow tires) or buy them sooner.
get the new tires man, that the last place you want to cheap out, power, suspetion, all the power in the world means nothing if you have now grip with the road. those 4 very small pieaces of rubber are the only thing contacting the road when you drive make sure there good quality
Id just say first off get new tires, and after that if you want to get squirrely around a few empty corners, just start off slow. In the year I had my camaro I did that alot, and got better and better handling with it.
In the end, I could pull a WOT around a corner, get completely sideways.. and then straighten it out... on PURE ICE, in the middle of winter..
I did have posi though. My n/a is a 1 wheel wonder and it handles pretty similar to the camaro though, just wont straighten out as easy.
