all i do is downshift befor a corner turn using ebrake counter steer once rear is out .. and milk the gas while sliding .... and the front tires are spining to keep control rather that onver turning.. il try to get sum pics of my practice spot... well hope sum1 has an answer.. haha if you dont belive i can do it ill tyr to get sum vids asap.. thanks

well i do it in a controled area not sum random place.. so no1 has aanswer for my question.. im a good driver.. and im not all cray if i know i wont make the corner il juss stop but i have gotten close befor hehe a couple centimeters but it was planned.. cant wait to show you guys.. pray for me hehe

 

Well, you always put more stress to the drivetrain when doing something weird than with just cruising around but you'll still be fine, it's not awd with regular mechanical center diff where you have to be carefull while pulling the e-brake

 

thx! yea i notices a diff in the feel of the ebrake after when i was juss trying to park.. is there is it ok to tighten the cable? (under armrest) i dont plan on doing this much more i juss wanted to see if i can do it and prove i can so far ive done it 5 times.. i dont plan on much more but is it possiblle to tighten ebrake? thnx.... oh yea sum guy told me i would brake my drive shaft.. but why would that happen? or my axel?

 

i jus ssaw that vid.. sucks... but i would never go that fast.. haha ye aright when i try it i prolly go 10-25 mph in that area i like 1st gear hehe its not asuper fast drift or anything but it feels soo clean and smooth its a nice feeling for the first time..

 

eh if you cant pull off a drift try cranking the wheel one way and floor it in reverse. works wonders on the tires too

also if you honestly want to do this learn how i did, start on gravel roads (i dont know how good it will be on your car, i tryed it with my 90 couldent tell you what happens to the suspension being as the transmission went out and i pitched it)

did you just put FF and drift in the same sentence?

how you know you a good driver? how many time you been on track and race?

just in case some of you still wondering..you can't drift with FWD car, it's called powerslide and it's stupid

 

It looks pretty ugly from a bystander's pov.

 

I hope you can drive better than you can spell...which I am severely doubting

Don't try to ebrake your FF, that's just retarded, if you want to drift go out and buy a 240 and a SR20 swap, have fun. Stick with a FR or MR for drift.

 

the fact that you think youre so good can help you in the ownership of your very own curb!!

 

atleast he doesnt have his back tires resting on fast food trays...

 

LOL, good point indeed

 

wow...just wow.

Drifting much like burnouts in a FF look just retarded

As 4gen said, stick with fr or mr for teh dorifto.

 

you are 17 years old, I doubt you are a very good driver at all.........

drifting = pointless and useless (unless in a REAL race car)


locked for sheer principle

You have to admit, this guy is CLEAN AS HELL when he slides.

I've read that if your car isn't braced well enough, it can cause some stuff to fall apart. The Integra is a chassis that can oversteer really easily, so maybe try that out. Maybe start out on rainy roads first and then adapt your car and driving to dry road.
