Answer 1

Your kidding right :) Hee Hee

Answer 2

Most of these people don't get it. Drifting isn't only for RWD cars (Although I hate to admit it) FWD can do it too. Drifting isn't just a technique to prove how skilled you are for inducing oversteer and controlling it. Drifting was first used over 35 years ago in dirt and rally racing. Racers began using this technique because their tires grip could only take them so far, then they discovered if they over-execeded the tires maximum grip they could attain much higher entry/exit speeds through corners which led to better times. As for you my friend in the Civic EX, Ive gotten a FWD sideways preatty good, keep these things in mind before going slide crazy. When you drift in a RWD, you will have control from begining to end (if you know what your doing) because front tires steer and brake and rear tires are controlled by the differential (with the throttle you can control how long you want to drift). With a FWD the front tires brake, steer and accelerate while the rear wheels follow blindly, the outcome of your slide and duration is determined by the amount of speed carried into the corner or curve and time E-brake is held. So with this in mind, start like this:

*Drifting into a Corner or Curve that's a Right*

1) To your best judgement, aproach the corner with the proper speed.

2) Do you best to stay to the "Outside" of the corner *But not all the way "Out"*

3) This is the tricky part, You have to shift the weight of the car to the ouside. To do this you must "open up" to your left and quickly steer (taking your foot off the throttle) to the right and at that moment you pull the E-Brake for no more than "1 mississippi". Countersteer all the way to the left, and as soon as you feel you cleared the Apex of the corner put your foot down on the throttle.

And that is how you get you Civic Sideways. Remember its extremely difficult and if not done right you can really mess your car up by crashing. IF you dl not follow through with enough speed you can wind up on the sidewalk or in your neighbors house or worse, at the bottom of some canyon. So good luck man, you asked I answered, its up to you if your up to the task.

To Kacey

Is it impossible to maintain/keep a drift with a FWD?(remember what i said "FWD drift is based on how much speed is used on entry, that is what determines distance/duration of slide) But it is very possible to OVER-EXCEED the tires GRIP LIMITS to corner faster! That is what drifting is really about. Do you think I dont know? You think i haven't been doing this for a while. I dislike FWD by all means, but the truth is the truth.

Here is a Video for the Non-Believers, and notice how the "drifting" is used to tackle very technical corners, it might look like "drag that ***" but its not.

Answer 3

You can't drift with a FWD car. Give it up. E-brake maneuver is not realy considered drifting

SRNight doesn't get the truth: the way FWD cars are makes it IMPOSSIBLE to MAINTAIN a drift. You may be able to get the car occasionally a bit sideways, but true drifting means you're practically NEVER straight on (i.e. in grip mode), and FWD cars simply CAN'T DO THAT.

Answer 4

Wait until January and just after some freezing rain. Then, start your car and floor it. Jerk the wheel to the left while yanking the E-brake and putting the automatic transmission into Neutral.

Answer 5

it really does a lot better in rear wheel drive cars,,the front wheel drive cars don't want to break traction,and that's what drifting is all about the smoke and the sliding around,,its real hard to do though,,you,ll probably fry the transmission it trying this on that car,,good luck,i hope this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.

Answer 6

drifting is a sport for rear wheel drive cars

Answer 7

Floor it with the parking brake on in the corners and then shift into neutral.

Answer 8

Personally...I DONT GIVE A SH*IT ABOUT STUPID_A_SS HONDA CIVICS...THEY ARE PIECE OF SH*IT CARS....NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOURE WILLING TO PUT AND GIVE TO THESE CARS...THEY WILL FU*CK YOU OVER...GOOD LUCK OWNING A FERRARI...MR.KING....YOU'RE THE ONE THAT DOESN'T DESERVE ONE...I MEAN CAN YOU VALUE "SUPERCARS"....HMMM...HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU...MR KING....OH, AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK YOUR "MAIL"...I LEFT A LIL' SOMETHING THERE 4 YA....*wink*

Answer 9

wait till it is snowy and icy out and then you should have no problems...otherwise you need a rear wheel drive car

Answer 10

lol... e-brake
