It could just be me but I find the 202's to be a handfull when drifting. I've gotten into trouble a few times and almost couldn't correct. Be careful and what you want to do is either unplug the ASR "brains" within the engine bay or pull the fuse. Keep in mind this disables your ABS along with stability control. I wouldn't drive the car like this on the road. I've done this in a wet parking lot which was pretty fun I'd just be careful as it may surprise you a couple times.

you can wire a switch in that allows you to "pull" the fuse by flipping the switch

once you flip the switch you have to shut the car off and restart in order to regain abs/esp control

i wouldn't recommend doing this with a stock vehicle- what are you going to gain? you probably shouldn't be doing too much drifting anyways

ha, pic in every post.

yo z06. you cant drift with honda's theyre garbage front wheel drive cars. s2000 practically has a motorcycle engine which is all high revving and terrible for drifting, the nsx would be the closest thing to a driftable car that honda makes, and they only released a japanese honda nsx.

theres a guy who did a motor swap on the 350z with the 5.6 titan motor.... pretty good drift car

the swapped car makes less power than a ton of the stock motors are with boost though- of course tq is great, but the 3.5 is relatively well off in that respect too.

give the car in my sig about 4 years...

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
Do a search on dyno mode, you should be able to find the sequence of keys to use to disable the traction that way but as the other people told here those cars are not meant for drifting and if you haven't done it before you better attempt it ina safe place or be prepared to smash the car.

if you disable ASR you will disable ABS brakes, be careful what you wish for. I've driven my car without both and its straight up scary, I HIGHLY recommend you reconsider otherwise your C36 ownership may be cut short once the car is cut in half wrapped around a telephone pole.

Just drive the car in "ASR off" mode and get much better (and wider) rear tires, that will sove most of your issues.

i dont' recommend or suggest anyone else turns their abs off- but i've pushed my car very hard in autocross type situations (informal) and did not find it dangerous if one is aware.
