Default RE: drifting

There are some threads on this but it seems that it's not "real" drifting in a FWD. It's just basically sliding the rear end of the car out with the probable aid of the E-brake. This method is hell on your car and I wouldn't recommend it. Besides it's all kind of dangerous. Find yourself a drift event near your town, or a "grip and drift" or an AutoX. Go to one of these and learn to do it right (and for a reason).

My first suggestion would be get an old nissan. If you want to keep your civic start modding the suspension and go out and pass all the drifters

drifting is fun, but i think i like that mind-numbing grip you get with a worked over suspension as you pass cars around 2 lane on-ramps more.
