2day i wanted to se if my car can drift on a 90' turn infront of my friends, every one did the drift with their car, my 924 would do a nice drift but then would turn off after the drift. i thought my intake boot went loose, but no, my car turned on to normal, idled ok. i tried the drift again and same thing, car turns off. why is that???

Fuel pickup? Something like that? Certainly sounds like it's starving for fuel...

Is this a right hand or left hand turn or both?

Does it just die like you turned the key off or does it stumble some like it's starving for fuel?

i drift and spin my 924 often and i have not such problem. It might be fuel related...

Possibly the ol' loose/worn-motor-mount/s and distributor-wires/cap-hitting-the-hood-on-sharp-turns scenario?
Is your distributor installed at the right angle?
