You want to learn how to get the rear end of a FF car around? Learn to left foot brake.
Yep, be on the gas and the brake in a turn. there is a big misconseption on how to initate Oversteer (Drift) even in a FR platform. they dont Pull the E-brake, they dont brake the tires free with the gas. what they do use is called Throttle Lift Oversteer. And since our cars cant take advantage of that, Due to being Front wheel drive, we have to use Left foot braking to cause oversteer.

Rep Power: 333 When it's raining, just pull the ebrake and spin the wheel for some fun. You'll eventually come to a stop, just make sure you are in an empty parking lot or something.
Burnouts are fun too, and as I found out tonight, our cars can actually produce a good bit of smoke.
To drift though, well at least kind of, keep your hand on the ebrake and tug it while turning, then turn the other way and floor it, it takes practice but it can be done. And be careful, I don't want to hear about a civic owner flying off a cliff while trying to drift. Oh yeah, and cops don't like it either.

Rep Power: 381 BE WARNED: Just like how RWD drifters eventually fry their clutches, a FWD drifter Utilizing left foot breaking will eventually Glaze their breaks.
