Its been on a few times if its the video im thinking of. Im at school right now and cant view it.

However this sight is usualy pretty friendly to guys who want to slide FF cars. Drifting is about having fun, So if your having fun then keep on it. Especialy if your new to drifting, i wrote up a post that can be found stickied in the drifting section of the forum. Its about how to get started and stuff, nothing in it that a FF cant do.

Yeah. Hella sweet and all, but lieke it was said before... it's a§ dragging. The front wheels are literally pulling the locked up rears. It's like sitting on your bum and pulling yourself across the floor with your legs. Still takes a lot of skill, but that's not the stuff I'm into. Great vid though. And great driving. More power to you. I guess this should be added to teh different types of drifting. We should make a name for FR drift like FF drift is a§ dragging.

I'm not trying to back talk or anything. But I dont think hes having fun, I think hes pretty serious.

I think its funny that people refer to FF drifting as azz dragging as if its an insult. Better hope that azz don't drag around the turns faster then your FR!!! Wouldnt that be a sight for sore eyes ...

They also run smaller rims on the rear than in the front in order to drag the rear easier.

Actualy i like that clip alot. That guy is sliding pretty good in that civic. He has basicly mastered countering steering and off throttle control of the car. He deffenately has skills.

I look very very serious when im drifting, but afterwords when i stop the car, god i feel like im on top of the world, its complete ephoria...

Care to back that up with some debate buddy? a Civic could make an awesome touge and general track car. They may not be the best suited for drifting, but as we can all see with a hell of a driver they can do a hell of a job. He may be inducing oversteer by locking up the rear with the handbrake, but that is a perfectly valid technique.

Civics can be made into great cars. and there deffenately alot of fun, Especialy now that the ricers are leaving them behind for other cars.

If you want a real debate on any of these subjects feel free to start a new thread on it, and prepare for some serious debating

Well I hope i didn't offend anybody with my statement. I love civics and I have nothing but respect for those who can FF drift, but most of the people I know that say they FF drift are just poseurs. Civic hatch is an awesome car. I just wish somebody would convert one to RWD all ready.

no offense but I dont really consider that drifting. i mean sure he is sliding around the turn but what fun is holding the ebrake up the whole time. For me drifting is hit the gas while i am sideways and spinning the REAR tires which propel you through the turn.

too me the thing I don't like about FF drifting is the kind of loss of functionality. I mean its proably pretty slow(compared to the same car gripping). you can't accelerate enough too spin the tires cause if you do then your just gonna understeer off the track. Not to mention the braking effect of the rear tires being draged. Its like hes only doing it to look like hes drifting. Its not the car at its limit. Its like its just an FF car tryin to be FR.

you didnt read it aparently, and aparently you also missed the point. Most FR drivers arent good enough to differentiate what they do from FF drivers.

Why so much hate on that guy?? He's probably a MUCH better drifter than you and puts SOOO many FR drifters to shame. maybe is is a$$ dragging but still. better than you. and also if you looked at the end he drifter longer and at a higher angle than that S14 at the end.

just dont dis that guy or FF drifting. everybody drifts something different. just because you dont like it doesn't mean you have to go and post hateful messages. we drift an FF car on the touge you have a problem too bad? and NO we don't ebrake it we inertia and it still drifts. I'm just sick of all of this OOO FF. FF can't drift FF are *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* and all of that sorta thing. is complete BS.

just my 2 cents to this thread. always love that video.

sorry for reposting this video guys. I barely saw this thing a couple of week ago and i thought it was pretty cool seeing a car that i also have slide its azz around. However, it doesn't mean i'm going to start making my EF into a drift machine. I'm actually selling it to help with the down payment on a new Z.

Man that video is awesome! Insane amount of driver talent imo!

Sobe I cant wait until you get the link with all the cool drift videos! I dont know if it is just this computer but the saerch function does not work very well even with the results coming from "the beginning"..There are some sweet videos like one called "Full Throttle", it is full of badass video clips of drifting, cars doing wheelies ( i love wheelies), street bikes, really hard crashes, etc. Then of course the drift works videos, "doriftu", "Burnt_Rubber", and a lot of other ones

this is only my personal opinion but i think RWD cars looks so much better when drifting that FWD. i dont want to offend anyone but that kinda looks untalented. with RWD cars....u have to worry about spinning out or over steer.....FWD cars just need to worry about keeping the car's rear wheels locked. but thats just me . still a cool video though

Yea Ive tried to fully accept it, but I just cant. FF dorifto is just kinda a waste of recources......its pointless. FF cars grip better than drift, and if you wanna drift, then buy an FR car. I just don't see the point in spending the time trying to drift an FF.
