last night it rained so me and some buddies went to this warehous parking lot place to drift around trailers. i just want to know how bad i'm messing up my car. the ground was wet so the tires should be a little safe. also i used the clutch in rev up and let go after u turn method like 50 times to practice. the revs were pretty high but never really reached redline. i just want to know if i'm messing up my car.

actualy i'm not sure about the revs because i dont have a tachameter. i might have gone way over the redline cause the engine was loud. if i went over redline does my car get fucked up or does the rev limiter save it?

You're basically just wearing out your clutch. Rev limiter should stop you from overrevving. What car?

drifting will not kill ure car unless you crash, when doing coners fast drifting etc etc u need to do regular maintance more often.
like check your bushings every few months, check your shocks, keep your motor oil very clean, check ball joints often and every chance you get check your spot welds under your car.

You should be ok. Just get a $30 Sunpro tach from Kragen so you don't overrev your engine. And watch out for curbs.
