I drive a 1992 Honda Civic Hatchback

Aight, I wanna start drifting, but using the e-brake is that gonna hurt anything?
and what should I look into doing to drift my car...so far its pretty much stock

I don't wanna be the king or nothing just wanna pull off some drifts safely and to where I can repeatedly...

I'm thinking of just getting an older Corrola GTS, Supra,Rx7,mr2 those type of vehicles...

any suggestions/idea's?

and the actual "drifting technique" I know will take time to learn and all that just saying should I start with this civic or move to something else and use the civic for something else?

 

i practice in the parking lot behind work...hehe, i love it when its wet, but be careful that ***** dangerous.

before you start doing major ****, get some suspension, nothing like performance handling on stock suspension

for the most part just practice and have fun. also dont let cops see you they get pissed about that for some reason ....?....

 

Move onto something else such as a RWD car and use your Civic for something else

 

Stop watching Initial D, learn to control your car before you even think about drifting..go do some autocrosses and see how bad you do...

 

Drifting in a FWD car
Its just not the same.

 

do what I did...82 Ford Escort 4 door. I was the e-brake king. I would go down parking spots the wrong way and e brake into a spot and not touch another car. I had a friend who had some property and we would rally through there all day getting down techniques and crap

 

tru!!!>.thats why im saving up for a RWD!

 

funny you say Initial D...been watching a lot of that lately, but I've always enjoyed watching people drift...I've done stupid stuff in my car but I didn't feel as if I was in perfect control (in an empty parking lot)

the autocross'ing is what I'd also like to do....just need the money...If ur near atlanta Turner Field holds competitions...I dunno I'd like to go to that

 

if u want to feel how to control your car. i just finished reading some thread on puting trays on your rear, only works on fwd cars. n i tried it today. the trays wore out to quick, but it was funn as hell. of course it was in a dead industrial area near my place. it sort of felt likk you could whip the back of your car. but imo it was all fun.

 

and this is the kinda of girls you get when u Drift

 

initial D kicks ***!!! i got the whole dvd box set, and the extra stage and battle stage dvd....yaa hoo!!!! yeah the only thing that show makes you wanna do is get a silvia and move to japan

 

hell yea.. i bought the whole dvd set about a year ago... when it was less known, but it is still as bad *** as ever.

 

I'd just like to echo this!!!!!!

 

I would just get a rwd car, you can pick up an ae-86 for cheap, if you can find one. I see that you live in GA, you should check out the guys at Jarco Industries, there company specializes in importing half cuts from japan, they're in canton, and they are some serious drifters. As for the mr2, I can personally tell you that they are NOT meant for drifting, I've got a 91 turbo and I can't get that thing to go sideways to save my life, of course 225 50 16 Falken Azenis doesn't help that.

 

I think the whole drifting ordeal is just pointless but I won't hate I'll just cooperate...

What i did back a while ago along with other bafoons from Florida was to take 2 thick boards place them underneath the rear tires and pull the e brake up in an empty parking lot, take off slowly and voila.. instant drifting until the boards are wasted.. It fun, it makes you feel like a mini Teichi Cucaracha or whatever his name is

 

yoooo...initial D is the joint!!! they only have up to stage 3 at the moment right? anyone know when stage 4 is coming? it took me 3 days to DL the whole series...took forever.... i definately agree w/ the drifting.... after i saw the series...i started to look for old *** rear wheel drive cars to mess around w. too bad there aren't any mountains around here to practice on.... i would like to practice on akagi, akina, or usi mountain...heheh i found an old mr2 for 1 grand. i mite consider that for a beater.

 

how many people who wanna be drifters today, cared about a beat up corolla 2 years ago?

u dont just get a car and "drift"...u grip..before u drift. and as someone else mentioned, go to autox, or a open track event..see how hard it is to be FAST AND MAINTAIN TRACTION on purpose..before u try to be MAINTAIN NOT HAVING TRACTION..see how far u get.

and please, lay off the e brake *** dragging in civics. unless u compete in rally events in a FF car it can be helpful but in general, get off the nuts. everyone thinsk drifting is some over night lesson. initial d is fiction people, fiction. you are not the son of a tofu shop owner who had to get the tofu up and down the mountain the fastest way possible, stop. your dads name isnt bunta. its hollywood.

 

I still hate them, they look like frogs

Amen brotha lee

Damn, they had me fooled, I thought Initial D was a CBS daytime soap opera. My dad will sell you some sofrito that will have you hauling *** down the mountain to take a **** and my dads name is Fidel Castro.

 

FF *** Dragging

the rubber on those tires could go to something useful....like lighting it on fire or something.

 

um...yes i am....and if u translate his name...it is in fact bunta.

no shiet.... really? i think people are just interested. its different from just 1/4 mile racing....so its nice to look at other racing cultures as well. i'm sure nobody in here is dumb enough to actually go out, buy a car, and start drifting like an ***. why should we be restricted to observe other types of racing?

 

uhh that's exactly what happened.. all the *** clowns saw Inital D and then headed up to the mountains near L.A and ruined it for all the olde touge peopl
oh well it's just like when drag racing got big.. it'll fade and then only those true to the scene will stay

 

drifting! in a civic! more like ***-dragging
If you want to driff buy a RWD car. It will save you a lot of embarrassment when you get out there with the serious drifters

 

interesting.....they actually went out and bought rear wheel drive cars and drifted like *** clowns? that sure shut me up... hehe

 

what I meant is all the kids with there civics flying off the cliffs and killing themselves..hey krazn.. if u love drifting .. go for it but I'm talking about the immature crowd that looks up to F&F

 

haha...i dont think ill be drifting anywhere here in philly...i'm just interested. thanks for the info though. i never heard of kids drifting off of cliffs... thats pretty scary.
