Tip's for FWD drifting
 

i recently found this industrial/bussiness area near my house, anyway its PERFECT for drifting! its like a huge hidden course! theres 6 sharp turn's, four 2 block long stright aways :D and the best part is its almost 1/2 mile away from Civilization so you can make as much noise as you want, and after 6pm its Completely deserted!!(literally)
its just im having trouble "drifting" i can get the car sideways easy but once i try to steer stright the car just looses control and spins in a circle or just swing side to side :-\ any advice/tips are very appreciated! i'd definity make a video, but i really suck at it :-[

heres a tip, drifting is for RWD mad tyte JDm cars, not your gay front wheel drive faggot ass piece of ---- car, stop trying to be something youre not. prepare to get your flame suit on. if i were you i'd delete everything you just wrote so you dont look like more of an idiot than you already are

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

I've seen people drift FWD cars pretty good, it just takes a lot of speed and one brave mother fucker...atleast thats what it looked like, lol.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

---- you -------, you dont have to have a "jdm" rwd car to have fun :P

btw i was already expecting lots off queers like you to run there mouth, well keyboard ::)

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

sell your FWD and buy a RWD car ::)

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

Either go fast and sling the car into the corner hard (steer the wrong direction then whip back the correct way while lifting off the throttle to break the rear tires loose), hand brake like most people do then modulate the throttle to transfer some weight to the rear wheels and get them traction again while counter steering the slide. If it is on pavement you're gonna need lots of speed if it is gravel chances are you'll spend most of your time over-rotated.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

wasnt this in honda-tuning not to long ago? BTW, you will never fullly drift a FWD car.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting

What did you expect whenever you posted this?

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

You are gona have to go in faster than you think. Then whip it away from the turn then hard back into the turn (feint, scandinavian flick whatever its called). Then hold the ebrake button and yank hard as hell immediately put the ebrake back down. The car will start to spin let the steering wheel spin through your fingures becuase there is no way you can keep up with it. Once the wheel stops (or gets far enough) grab it and start undwinding it. Keep the car floored from that point on.

The biggest mistake in FWD drifting is not unwinding (straightening) the wheel quick enough. If you dont do it quick enough and the back tires start to grip it will send t he car in a spin the opposite direction. Also keeping the car floored helps make it go in the direction the wheels are pointed this also helps on the smooth exit.


Good luck make sure you have a lot of room for when the car flicks back and goes in a non desireable direction. FWD sucks for drifting but RWD and FWD are the same when you start out. People are gonna understeer and most use ebrake as there first technique. In FWD you can also trail brake and weight transfer depending on how the car is setup.

its impossible to drift properly in a fwd car

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

EEEEEERRRR, Wrong.

I have been in a Jetta, N/A built for road corsing that can drift. It's all on the driver and HUGE suspension mods. With a RWD Power can make you drift, in a FWD Skill and Suspension can make you drift, no e-brake needed.

FYI, You WILL crap you pant the first time you rotate a FWD with no E-Brake. Heavy Antiroll bar in the raer helps alot to combat over steer

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

um... how? the whole point in drifting is weight transfer and making all the weight go to the front so that you can eaisally do that. in a front wheel drive car its not worth it cus you have to lock up the rear, but then again, once you lock it up with the e-break, it gets too hard.


imho drifting a fwd car use useless and a nice way to ---- up your breaks, differential, tires, and some body panels.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

lol i met that whipslash dude he allways wins the burnout contests

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

there is no point

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

you need a 90-91 crx si lol......the oem rear disks lock that ---- up like crazy, i dont go drifting, but just playing around in a parking lot at about 10mph i can do a 180 in it, so im assuming at 30 i would be all over the place

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

its called oversteer and its been around since the dawn of time.... people who call it 'drifting' and say that 'fwd cars can't drift' are ------- gay as ----. if someone wants to have fun oversteering in their FWD car, let them do it, don't get mad and call them fags for 'trying to drift it in their fwd car'

regardless, its all gay

the falkien FF drift car, before it was official

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

I drifted my car a few times without the e-brake and I wasn't going fast coming in the corner.
I'm boosting 14 psi though..daily on my ZC so that helps also...one tap on the throttle in a corner and that thing goes sideways like it's on skates ;D . You need a fast spooling turbo though...I got a T3/T4E 57 trim, but the turbine is tiny A/R .36...so it's begins to spool between 2500-2900 and is at full boost before 3500.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

You dont have to get sideways to go fast. If you want to 'drift' so bad go get some lunchtrays, stick them under your rear tires, pull your ebrake, and your car will be a mad drifting FWD monster yo.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

my tip for fwd drifting is dont do it.. its ------ stupid

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

tell it like it is young blood

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

get a CRX SiR and you'll never want to know how to 'drift' in a FWD again

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

Drifting is just fancy term for powersliding through a race track.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

i know you can never technically drift properly in a fwd so lets just call it "skidding" O0 for the record im not really into "drifting" i just happen to find a great place to do it so i decided to have some fun. If it cant be done, o'well at least i tryed asking :P this is how ive been doing it: go around 55-60, suddenly jerk the wheel all the way in one direction, let go of the throttle and swing the wheel to the oppisit direction to steer stright but i can never regain control :-X btw i dont like to use the e-brake too much because its too dangerous

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

When I've been with my cousin when he's "drifted" in his Accord, he used the e-brake everytime, basically to get the momentum going. If he was part of the site he could explain it better, but I can verify that he does well with it O0

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

heres a tip, bias your breaks to be mainly in the front, and then simply while going into a turn, mash your breaks and jerk the wheel. this works sometimes on fwd cars. or jerk the wheel one way, and as your car bounces that way, jerk the wheel the way you wanna go and it will bounce back, and it will start to drift. just try and do it in the rain.

i dont understand how it would work in a front wheel drive car. you will simply slow down before you come out of a corner to really make it fun. mainly because if you popped the clutch and tried it, the front wheels would pull it forward. i dont know.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

i saw a video once of a guy showing how to set up a fwd car for drifting...he recommended setting the rear toe as far out as possible, he said that it made the car easier to keep sideways. then he locked the button in on the ebrake so that he could use it w/o accidentally leaving it locked on. A LSD will also help. My CRX would oversteer if you went into a corner hard and then let off the gas (unloading the rear) the LSD would not unlock so it tended to pull the car around and cause a "drift". also, use some junk tires on steelies or something, so that the rear end has less traction to begin with.

just some tips to go along with the sway bar recommendations.

Also, the lunch trays work VERY well, but don't last very long. >:D :'(

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

not titanium ones.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

Dumbest comment ever... Rear sway bars create oversteer. Thus a big rear sway bar will help you iniate the drift.

To drift a fwd car you can do two things, drive in reverse (the obvious), two: set the car up for oversteer and then go into your turn to faster than you'd expect, and learn to control the oversteer. The ebrake is not needed to drift a fwd car. You can't maintain the extreme angles that rwd cars can, but drifting is possible.

Re: Tip's for FWD drifting
 

I want somebody to tell me the point to drifting.... Oh its to have fun and oversteer your car. Its a rush kinda like street racing but just becuase in a FWD car you cannot compete in D1 cometition doesnt mean you cant have fun and get some decent slides.

Whats the point of drag racing a slow car. Its stupid, if you are gonna drag race you should have a 12 second car at least if not its just dumb. Well even racing a slow car is fun so people do it and have a good time. You can drift a FWD car and have a good time and that is all that matters.

Put two mcdonalds trays under you rear tires and set the e brake
