No, dont waste your time trying to make it a drfit car. You could make it a grip racer for JdM DoWnHiLl battles, but, i dont know.

[Nightwalker]

save your money and buy a rwd car, you won't hate yourself in the future.

Don't waste your money on drifting a FF car. I would rather see your accond doing GRIP racing. AND don't do a TOUGE run if your not experienced! geez!

You can drift a FWD but it takes a whole lot of skill to make it look good and you won't like it. My advice is the same as Chas. Put some nice suspension on it, some fatty wheels and sticky tires and go gripping. Go to the mountains. You might find that you like grip more than drift. You can do more on the street with grip, there are events ALL over the place for grip. It's more real world friendly. I grip all the time.
Drifting is too new a sport at the moment. There are no events really to support the growth. But Drift is a WHOLE lot of fun. Can't deny that.

So my advice is to grip until you can get a RWD car. Then make the leap over to Drift.

[Chas]

More people should learn to grip and understand there car and driving before they try to drift.

[EvilPenciler]

ok well I'm gonan take everyones advice and try grip racing with the accord Thanks All .

LOL, 180 on the bricks, I speak spanish. O and penciler. If you know what youre doing and money is not an object. Put a s2000 or honda suv drivetrain under it. Put a fuel cell in the trunk. I have thought about converting some ffs to fr cuz I thought they would look sweet drifting. Lotta work though....AND MONEY. Youre prob not gunna do that though. So practice every minute of every day and prove us all wrong with your ff skills or ditch it and get a fr.

Chas is right, learn to drive fast before wasting time sliding...ahha
