actually you'll probably flip your car going 100mph and not knowing what your doing... might as well just tray slide...

if you know how to control the weight in the car, you can pull pseudo-drifts. Its not true drifting, but its a simple matter of transferring more weight to the front while turning. to promote oversteer in our cars, go into the turn at like 55-60, let off gas, jerk the wheel, tap the brake, and jerk the wheel back. depending on your tires, and road conditons you'll slide pretty nicely. i do this to show off all the time. practice in like a really wide open space until you get a feel for it. i was sliding all down topanga last night. hehehe...fun stuff, especially when you can't see ****.

anyone happen upon the magazine "drifting", i think it was put out by import tuner. right on the cover it reads "drifting in a civic?" and they asked expert drivers if it was possible to drift in a civic or any FWD car and most said...YES! and like 1 dude said no. they all had different theories on how to do it, but all seemed to say jerk the e-brake and that while it wasnt a "true drift" its the next best thing. lemme see if i can find awebsite on it anywhere.

Rep Power: 0 you get trays like those from mcdonald's , the brown ones, and you drive up on them so your rear tires are on top of them, then you lock the e-brake, and you put the car in gear and slam the throttle with the wheel twisted around, the rear tires will just swing and the car will do doughnuts like crazy, and the front tires will smoke all to hell
