Drifting

Does anyone know of any websites with good drifting pics?
:rolleyes:

japan likes to drift, i dont know any sites but u can check them up in some search engine

check out http://www.fxracer.com/
i think they have drifting pics, but I know they have some drifting vids for sure.

i don't know about pictures.....but i do know that you can download clips from morpheus or something like that.......i have this clip where there are s14's, mr2's, trueno's.......it's tight......

there are some vids there

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I've got some videos off of Kazaa (Morpheus) and they are kick ass. Now I've just got to find a cheap rear wheel drive car so I can go practice some drifting, it looks like some fun stuff. :D

what are u talking about. u can drift with a FF

You can't really drift with a FF, you can slide, but not drift. You've got to have a RWD to really drift.

drifting is sliding

Hey supafly1024, here's a site that I like to visit for information on Drifting. It's a pretty good site so check it out.

And 1993HondaCivic, here's the explanation on why FF's can't drift taken directly from the drifitng site I just listed.

Basically the laws of physics won't allow it. See with a rear wheel drive car power is coming from the back so that basically means that you can slide the tail out and control the movement by countering with the front wheels. With a front wheel drive both the power and countering wheels are up front so it eliminates the possibilty of drifting grouped turns. A demonstration would be taking a rwd car and finding an open parking lot. Get up to a good speed and then just yank the steering wheel back and forth and you will start fishtailing. This can not be done with a ff and and drifitng is almost like fishtailing around turns. Of course this doesn't mean that you can't take your ff and throw it around turns because you can. Dave of Slide Squad does it pretty successfully with his Civic but the fact of the matter is that it's not drifting. A term that has become pretty popularized from the Velocity BBS is ass dragging.

And here's another thing to add to what I just said. With a RWD car you can drift around multiple corners without having traction the whole time, but with FWD cars you can slide around 1 corner but that's it and then you have traction again.

Thanks for the site man, it's pretty tight. And no 93Civic, you can't truly drift with a FF car. :badass:

i still say u can

You ever seen that Cash Money video with the Lambo spinning in place? Thats what AWD can do for ya.:D I just want to do that once. I got to get my hands on an Audi or better yet a WRX!

u can drift a fwd if its set up right. dial in a crapload of rear camber and put some hard, slippery tires on the rear and tell me that thing wont lose traction in the rear end (fishtail). as long as u dont hit the gas itll keep going. if u hit the gas the weight transfers to the rear wheels stabilizing the rear end. itll stabilize the rear end in a rwd too but u can compensate for that since the rear wheels are the ones driving u can throttle and clutch modulate to send shocks through the rear wheels to keep them broke free and accelerating. or if u have enough power u can just floor it and spin them. but fwd when u hit the gas it goes through the front wheels, not causing the rear wheels to have any additional stress, and the weight transfer stabilizes the rear end. so u can drift an individual corner, just not multiples (unless youre good!) my 93 civic hatchback would do it even without a lot of rear camber. if youve ever seen a "drift competition" they have a "fwd drifting" segment cuz they can drift not as good as a rwd but they can.

00accord44 i have done it in my moms suburban in the snow. I must say its pretty fun

drifting is a controlled slide. You can e-brake the slides in FF but it still isn't the same effect and your e-brake can sieze up and not release, it's happend to me before. FF is also to nose heavy, RWD is more balanced and allows the rear wheels to slide while the front steer unlike FF when both have to do the job

a friend of mine showed me how to drift your front wheel drive car


and here is a valid point :

In Initial D they did it and if you don't know what initial D is then you ain't got no idea what drifting is


download morpheus and enter initial D into the search under video

ITs soooo cool
