what does everyone think of trying to make a civic a good drift car??

 

Drifting cars are RWD, civic are FWD. It doesn't work, i see an uproar up ahead.

 

If you do a RWD conversion, they make damn fine drifters. Not in the same league as 180s and AE86s, but still quite good.

 

with a lot of work and a rwd conversion they just dont have easily abtainable numbers to be legitimate drift cars

 

227 whp isn't good enough for drifting? Not even from a stock motor?

 

civic can drift..i seen a video of a older civic 89-91 dirfting using ebrake and he took out a
i think it was a s15 silvia....the videos somewhere on the net..its kinda bad ***.. makes me wanna try and drift a civic instead of my brothers 180

 

ok good point. after doing my research and reading some of the feedback left on this post, i don't think it'd be worth it to make a civic a drift car, i mean, it'd be nice IF you wouldn't mind doing alot of unecessary work. eh i'd just go after a RWD car. anywho. that's about all.

 

not another drift post[:@]

 

An older (1988) Honda Civic station wagon AWD comes to mind...

 

Sorry. That's not drifting; that's e-braking in a circle (I've seen the video). Drifting (by definition) is power-based, hence only for RWD (and the occasionaly AWD) cars. That's not to say you can't compete with drifters in a FWD, but I don't know all the FD regulations.
