actually you can drift fwd cars. they dont pull they push. it called understeer. yes this is true and yes it is much harder and not as gracfull but with precission usage of the hand brake it can be done. just trying to give you guys the correct information. if anyone has any other ?'s on drifting just let me know. talk to you all later

further more on all my drift cars i have an adjustable camber kit in rear. toe in for less tracton and more drift. and there is way more to drifting then what was actually said in prior posts. its a very expensive hobby. i go through anywhere between 2-4 sets of tires per competition or meet.

I never thought drifting was something that ppl took seriously as a hobby, do alot of ppl do it?

Yup, in the few seconds of drift before i go over the line and loase control and spin, its a great feeling. i can understand how so many people get into it.
Im not sure if theres clubs and stuff though, ive seen people doing it on large roundabouts and stuff at 1 in the morning.... so i guess not.

hokey pokey! funny. but actually there are many forms of drift. i tend to use the feint motion alot, its my favorite style plus it looks awesome. using the hand brake in a front wheel drive to perform a drift is possible and how its done. you just have to see a video to realize it. (ill see if i can whip one up in my archives) i personally cannot drift a front wheel drive. it is so hard to get that technique down. dont get me wrong i can do some pretty cool stuff useing the hand brake in a frnt wheel drive, mostly stunts but noo drift. ive tried in my integra and can get the back to caome around here and there but not to the point where it can be refered to as a drift. hopefully i can locate some of my fwd drift vids from japan
