Talking drifting in a FWD
hey everyone i have a very good question.
is it possible to drift a FWD car?
the answer that i have come up with is yes. i have a 1998 spyder turbo that is the 2.4L motor but turbo. i also had to get a better clutch. i am in the process of doing the suspention and i got the springs and sway bars, what else can i do? in all farness i do believe that a fwd can do this becuse i have been at this little place that i found in my home town and it is drift central but anyway is there a way to make this better? just let me know please

Re: drifting in a FWD
You are not drifting in a fwd car. You are sliding which is not really controlable.

E-Brake, one of the better ways to run off the road.
