doughnuts in reverse is possible but not fun
ok i honestly think this had been discussed more then enough, call it what you want, ass draging or e-braking or dritfing or whatever it doesnt matter, you can get a FF car to "drift" or to get the back end to slid out, thats all your trying to do anyways, yes it is easier in a RWD car and i guess thats the " true way to drift " but it just doesnt matter, all i keep hearing is no its ass draging, no its drifting, no its ass draging, no get a 240, blah blah blah, sorry to rant like this but iv had enough

I drive an AE86 for drifting and autocross and have an Accord for a winter beater/daily.
You can't drift with a front wheel drive car. Sure you can have fun and stuff, but if you go to a drift event or a contest people will just laugh at you.

I don't see people laughing at Kyle Arai and his EF civic, he's pro and his shit looks good out there.
Throw the ass end of what ya got and leave me to my blissful "ass dragging."
W.T.F?

don't forget keisuke hatakeyama.
yes people will laugh, but really, who cares? it doesn't mean they know what they're talking about
and yes this thread will keep going forever.
Hey I dont care what ya call it, but ya gotta love working the close shift at a walmart and when ya get off work having the whole parking lot to play in!
i guess that would be the one thing that would make up for having to work at walmart
i accidentally drifted/ass-dragged/almost wrecked in my sedan once. i was on my way to work, running late as usual... and i took a corner at about 35mph... it was kinda fun.
Group of friends and I went out a few days ago before the snow started coming down here in michigan. Got our final jones for drifting in for the season lol. Snow is fun and all But there's nothing like hauling ass 50mph or more and laying the drift out on an empty bend in the road.
If you lay it all out in the right ways, it just gets gorgeous. You can feel the tires just break traction and spin freely. You keep your eyes on your exit and you never really notice how you were looking around the passenger side pillar to follow through, untill you sit here thinking about it.
Ass dragging, drifting, it doesn't matter, you were sideways and that's where it counts
After reading alot of what most people said. I started thinking......
....So am i doing it wrong?
I dont use my E-brake too much only to counter steer into an opposing corner. I mainly use the "left foot brake" teq. and push all the weight to the front to losen the rear end stomp and feather the throttle. There is a little bit of a science to it as you saw in the video. But then again they are using the "E" alot too.

I never use my Ebrake. Well once in a while but mostly its all about loading your suspension. Swaying one side then quickly to the other. Doing that along with being in your high powerband is a great way to start, keep the R's up and after you load up the suspension either slam down the gas or clutch kick it. Clutch kicking is where you drive normally. Keep your foot on the accelerator and you push in with the clutch then let off quickly so that it yanks the car. It'll give it a really good shove, this will get your tires to break traction and spin. *shrugs* Everyone has there own style to it, so go out to a parking lot and find out what works.
Yeah I need to use my hand brake more often...lol
If you want to do something real fun, take off any rear swaybars from your car, go around a corner with teh throttle lightly applied as fast as you can, and let off the throttle and hit the brakes. It's exciting. Promise.
please for the love of god don't do that on a public road

i saw him do this in our socal meet and at first i thought he had used the handbrake but he didnt and it looked pretty good for a fwd....
*thumbs up* if you can slide you can slide!
Heh... it might be possible on an FF, and it's definately possible on an FR, but I obviously don't own any driftable cars(Not keen on trying on my daily, and I don't feel like putting my Celica's diff at stake E-braking it), but if I get in the wet or some gravel on the 'four... wow. Rally slides are awesome.

FF? Jeez. Step outside of gran turismo world and say FWD like everyone else. :P
PS: Sweet celica.
doesnt FF just say front engine front drive, FWD is front wheel drive. not as descriptive. anyway, the way i got my datsun to drift was to take a corner fairly quickly while still keeping control, not sliding it. then shift down giving it gas and let the clutch out hard, turn the wheel opposite of the rear wheels slide, then to the same direction of the rear wheels slide to gain a nice controlled slide forward through the turn. works for me, the accord usually sticks too well to get it sliding out unless its on a gravel or dirt road which is fun.

i think one thing we're ignoring is that FF or no, hondas are really designed to grip, not slide, and they're really good at it.
great news if you're racing, but if you're trying to drift, a honda wouldn't be my first choice, even if it was an S2000
