when your a skinny little man like me it gets a bit tough to hold drifts or slides or even keep the car in control..
Dont our cars experience snap oversteer?

You want to drift a targa by simply losing weight?:cry:
You should worry about stiffening up the chassis, new suspension, and new wheels before you worry about liposuction....
But anyway, like other people said before me;
Hood
Spare tire w/ wood cover
Front seats swap
Rear seats removal
Battery relocation
Under engine plastic/rubber guards
And replacement of many stock parts with lighter aftermarket ones

Snap Oversteer happens to any car in the middle of a drift... If you dont ease out of the drift and ease off the gas as well the car grips from the back, and the fact that the front tires (should be) counter steered the car snap oversteers back into the direction of the front tires....
Myself like alot of us power slide/drift in wet weather... I still want to try the supra when its dry outside... Hence the attempts to get its handling as nuetral as possible. Just concider the Supra like an older SC300/400. A heavy car that gets sideways. Also, atleast the turbo versions of the supra come with an advantage (kinda) made for drift... 86.5-88's come with a Clutch Packed 2 Way LSD, locks under stopping and accelerating, while the 89-92's come with a 1.5 Way Helical LSD... Full lock under acceleration, but partial during breaking as to limit oversteer while slowing down through a corner. I like the 2 Way better.... Come into a corner fast in 3rd, pull into the turn, shift lock into second, then countersteer and get on the throttle.
About my not driving the car... Right now im trying to get it running good first... Suffering a Blown HKS Head Gasket, need new intercooler piping, need shocks and springs, sway bars, brakes... i have to finish my car befor driving it... Im just trying to get idea's as to what I can do while I wait...
