Ok, I don't claim to be an expert on MR2s or drifting, but here is my short resume and then my advice. Take it with a grain of salt. I have a 94 JDM MR2, I live in Japan, most people I know drift(and are very good), and I have seen MR2s drift. Now the advice: Everything above is true. You can drift an MR2 and the snap back is tricky. I don't drift my MR2 for two reasons, because I love it too much to wreck it and I am not that good of a drfiter. It is definetly not a car to learn on. Most people use Chasers, Silvas, 180s, 86 Levins, etc; because of the weight distribution. Hp usually doesn't matter that much, but with a MR2 more is better. It seems to be easier with more hp to control the slide, so you don't have to use as much brakes. Using a lot of brakes will almost always bring the back end to the front and well thats just plain bad. If you have any particular questions, let me know and I will be happy to help!
