okay, you can't really, but you can..

I usually understeer for a sec, rip the hand brake and yank ( its hard to say across the pc.. then it'll slide..

But please don't do this on our roads..keep it at the track


Edit : BTW, watch out for the torque steer !

practice on a grass field so you learn which way the car goes when u throw it around, also flick the car into corners before using the handbrake then power out hard

marcopolo

hehe cheers dudes will give it a go
dont think the local footy club will like me ripping up their lawns though haha

at what speed do u normally enter the corner though??
cos when i try im around 50-60km on second gear even though i rip the handbrake at that speed the stupid car still wont break out the back

keep drifting to the track and in a car thats ment to drift not a rolla ffs. then ppl wounder why our insurance is so expensive and hard to get some ppl need to wake up/grow up.

how would u power over with a FWD car? that technique is impossible to make the tail slide out in FWD cars..unless u mean feint motion..meaning u turn a little toward the opposite way you are about to turn, making the weight of the car shift.

i really dont think drifting and FWD cars should go together..u should just call it "fun with e-brake" try to get your hands on a RWD car and it should be more fun

Score

Ok, say your turning right. As your coming up to the turn, jerk the steering wheel left, than right, than rip the e-brake. Now your either sideways or backasswards.

Oh yeah, do it on a track. Or a dirt field. Dont put yourself in a situation where you can hurt yourself or others.

marcopolo

woah man seems i have sparked controversy over this drifing thing
it's just that some of me mates say you can drift a fwd and some say you cant becasue there isnt enough power at the back wheels.
to keep the record straight i dont do anything stupid on the road and i have only tried drifting a fwd once so there yah go *thumbs up*

but you know for the sceptics, have you seen the drift bible?? (tshyucia something or other??) he says it is possible to drift any car .... lol lol or is he talking crap?

I did not realize that there was any power to your back wheels!

Hahah that reminds me of this guy at tafe today he was going on about how his mates nissan exa has 300kw at the rear wheels hahaha thats pretty good for a fwd car
