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 :'(

not titanium ones.

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.

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.
