My Drifting Video
 

I found a cardboard tube hangin around the house today and had an excellent idea. Why not cut this tube to length, connect it to my car, attach a webcam to it, and make a video of me drifting in a brand new vacant neighborhood (which only has about 3-5 standing structures with no one in them). So thats what I did today. Here's the resulting video. It's 4 minutes long. This video makin stuff is so much fun. I love my new laptop, hehe...

dumb move puttin the street and town and wut not..

cool side mount cam tho!!

Damn good skill dude! One of the coolest Vids I've seen. How are your rear tires btw? Exactly how much of the ebrake do you use? I've done it in the rain, but I've never tried on pavement.

Nice, you e brakin or no?

lol thats jokes ..good job

did the camera break??

dude thats awesome. not so good for the tires though. near the end that little s type turn was the best. how fast did you get up to.

E-brakin is the only way to get a Civic sidewayz, lol...and lets not discuss my tires, they're not doin too well, lol..

The video was originially made for a hand-full of people locally. But I live a good distance from that street, hehe...

At one point I think I remember lookin at my speedometer reading 40mph...not too fast but then again this was a complete spur of the moment thing so I didnt intend on pushing it that hard at all

Forunately, the camera didnt break. Unfortunately, it slammed against my rear windshield really hard but didnt cause damage...its alright tho, it was all for the fun..

i drift mines all the time to waste the tires for the new ones :D and one time i pulled my ebrake so hard the damn thing got stuck and my car just wont move lol cuz of the ebrake so i did a burn out instead and finnaly the ebrake went smooth :D

I have a couple friends from glenpool oh and congrats on thinking you are drifting in a front wheel drive.

you cant drift in a fwd... only powerslide... ok vid though... i didnt really want to see a minute of you driving in a straight line though...

Drifting in a fwd? lol

haha cool the s turn was nice

Cool video, but it's still not drifting. I had to fix my friend's Prelude cause he was doing the same thing you were, only he's not near as good at it as you are. Good Job.

i cant believe i sat through that. so you drove around a pulled the e brake when you turned. his auto didnt even have the power to pull through the slide.

thats sweet

cool but thats just a GREAT way to break a civic. civic's aren't made for that type of abuse.

Yea yea, fwd's cant drift, they ass drag...we've all heard it, whatever, yet if you're in a rwd vehicle and e-brake, its considered drifting just cuz you dont lose momentum...oh well, I tried, lol...yea, my little auto beater civic can't really follow through and keep momentum going...but what else do you guys expect, lol...I appreciate all the positive comments however!

rwd vehicles dont ebrake all the way through the turn. its a hydrolic ebrake that just breaks the tires lose so they can spin in the turn. its a lot more controlable than popping the clutch to get the tires to spin. the video mightve been a bit better had you got wicked speed and been able to link multiple corners together.

cool, gotta try that sometime, lol

he just made a little video to have fun with his car, did you expect to see a 7thgen in a real drifting competition when you clicked on this link? please

pretty cool video i give you props// its more of like a grip drift but i still give you props for doing that and making that cool ass "do-hicky" camera thing haha// :tup:

i gtta give credit where credit is due... that S turn was pretty impressive. everyone out there whining about "its not really drifting..." YOU GO OUT AND DO THE SAME THING. I bet at least 1/2 the people hating on the FWD slide can't pull it off like he did. the other 1/2 that can... well... don't be such an elitist b/c the chances are good that posting on this site you too own a FWD civic and not some drift monster - SO SHUT UP.

he's having fun with his car - isn't that the point?

well said logic!!!

I knew as soon as this thread was posted there'd be 50 smartasses commenting on how it's a FWD car and it's not really called drifting.

Wow we've heard it before.

i wasn't talking about whether it was drifting or not FWD or RWD!. i was just talking about the abuse to that poor little civic. civic's are tin cans man!. just a simple little econo car that isn't very powerful or built for that type of abuse. but ohwell!. However!, i DID think that it was alright to see a civic "drift" LOL. Just be careful man!, that video could've been your last.

^^hehe, im lovin the support

Show some of that love through +rep. :giggle:

hey that's not real drifting. :giggle:
