on another note, it looks good so far.

thats not true. At the HCI Magazine US Drift Nationals Marc Rosso took second with a 94 civic. Also Hata Keyama drifts with front wheel drive. RWD may be the popular choice now, but I have a feeling that it will soon be more of an even spread.

Jammin, did you have to post such an obnoxiously large picture? It didnt even finish loading and im on cable! Anyway, I've seen a video of the exact Civic. He is pulling the e-brake and using the front wheels to pull the car. I wouldn't consider it drifting as much as I would consider it ass-dragging.

Sorry about the pic as I uploaded from its website. As far as the ass draging comment.... well you say tomato.....

Very well, the rear wheels aren't spinning.

ok. abviously, nobody knows that drifting just doesn't include yousing raw power to muscle your way over a turn. drifting is an art. there are many techniques. various techniques are called: side, shift lock, power over, braking a form of drifting that works for civics, feint wich is turning one way then jolting the car in the direction of the turn to drift wich civics can utilize, accel off wich is basically drift from a speed burst (civic can utilize this).

you can download the movie from kazaa called super drift techniques if you dont believe me.

it just goes to show you drifting is not what you thought it was, pulling the e-brake is just as much drifting as swinging the rear with your power.

take a canvus, for painting, and you youse oil paints, its like saying water paint isn't painting.

alright, would people PLEASE drop this fwd drifting stuff... clearly everyone has different opinions, and i respect that... but you're ruining a good thread by turning it into arguments...

[ProSStreet]

whats the deal with drifting anyway, ? it seems kinda stupid, sounds like something rich boys do to show off. and their parents must buy their tires.

[jgmodelcars]

drifting is a form of driving which involves loosing traction to slide around corners... usually rich kids prolly can't do it, and the best drifters are from japan and yes, yes it is more or less to show off, but its not easy!

[TougeMonkey]

Ok, here's how I see it. Back in 1999-2000, when the first D1 GP (professional Japanese drift contest) began in Japan, there were front wheel drive entrants. They even placed decently. But look at D1 now. It's all rear wheel drive.

So in summary. FF cars can drift, but once you get to a certain level you can't touch a FR.


Sorry to hijack your thread espin, it is a nice looking EK!
