I recently got a mazda 3 i with the sports package and i love street racing, drifting and just speed in general. Any one have any advice how to drive this beast right and any modding tips?

Street racing is for idiots. Take it to the track.
Other than that, welcome to the site.

What he said. If you want to race then go to a track. Contrary to popular belief tracks aren't for wusses. At the very least don't crash into anyone else on a public road and kill them. Then I have to work more.

It can be done, I've seen a few professional drifters in civics doing pretty sick sustained drifts, on the street it's most commonly known as flattening your rear tires =)

That is what I figured. And you'd need a fairly light car, narrow tires and get rid of the rear camber.

Or McDonalds trays.

My car creaks, clunks and squeals enough as it is. I don't need to break anymore stuff.
