Drifting how to's, is this bad?

Found this link that a friend sent me. I'd like to try it out sometime if I can, on an open parking lot or something, of course. But would this really work in something like my Civic coupe? And if so, besides wearing through a set of tires, how bad for my car would this be? Thanks for any ideas/suggestions.

I think you'd wear out your brake pads a lot faster, but I think if you've got the guts, and an empty parking lot you should try it.

before you start drifting, you better change your engine mount. don't be surprise when you see spark cause by your oil pan due to fact the engine just drop. it's wise you ask someone who really knows about drifitng with honda.
