is their any one into drifting? i wanna practice, but tires and lsd cost too much for me
check this out, one is ff car drift king, the other driver is fr drift king
In my experience these sorta threads often just end in an argument about FF being wrong to “drift” in etc etc.
Persoanlly i think proper drifting has gota be left to the RWD cars, front wheel driven cars cant drift, you can get lift off oversteer but thats about it. Its not drifting
I drifted my integra last week. It wasn’t on purpose though. I need new rear tires, I was heading up an on ramp and my rear tires lost traction( the scary part was I was going the speed limit), the ass end swung out and I started to slide toward the wall. luckily I was alert it, was 2 A.M and no one was behind me. I saved it and ended up not mangling my car on the freeway onramp wall. FF can drift, but leave that stuff to the Rwd cars. Integra’s are meant to grip! GRiP FTW! But if you want to go through rear tires and breaks pads/cables go for it! just don’t do it on the street.
why is everyone saying ff cant drift? i wanna stick with my DA,but for a moment of my life i really wanted a jdm s13 for drifting, i think it looks very similar to da
Everyone says FF cars can’t drift because they can’t. An FF car’s natural tendency is understeer, rather than oversteer. This, combined with an inability to use the power to keep a drift going makes FF a bad choice for drifting. Truth be told, it’s not really even drifting, it’s just dragging the car’s ass around turns. When I drifted, I had an AE86, and I wouldn’t have wasted my time trying to beat the stuffing out of a DA trying to make it do something it can’t. Just because it looks like a JDM S13 doesn’t mean it can drift.
not to argue with you, most people think that ff drift is ass hauling, i dont really see a different from ff to fr as an outsider. 4wd drifting looks different, i never drift any real car, but i go to go kart all the time, i am pretty good at it.
if you can drift a fr, you can also drift a ff
here s a clip, that two drift kings of ff and fr

i dont see why a ff cant drift
i think drifting is you break traction on the rear or 4 tires, you control the car to high speed corner when you slide. i dont really see why a rwd is a must for drifting
same thing you do , you let the rear slide when you corner , no matter what you drive ff fr 4wd, if you dont lose traction on the rear you are not drifting.
I could go through the physics of it with you, but the reality is numbers don’t mean anything until you can see it. If you look at the vid, he is just dragging the civic’s ass around turns- the rear wheels aren’t doing anything, he’s just locking them up with the ebrake. That isn’t really drifting, it’s just skidding sideways. A drift uses power to keep the machine sideways, which an FF car can’t really do because of the location of the driven wheels, and without that, you either give up tons of speed or angle, or both. So the sentiment that if an FR car can do it, an FF car can isn’t really true. Simple physics. Watch the rear wheels and the angle of that civic, then find a video of an old s13 or ae86 and compare. You’ll see what I’m talking about.
i dont get it, again i think drifting is going side ways, no matter what you drive, once you go side ways you are drifting,
what you saying is even you go side ways with a ff, you are stiil not drifting
is that right?
i already know all you said above, i am confused ,ff is power pulls the car from the front, fr is power pushes the car from the rear , i understand that,
i have over 50 videos in my computer,each of them are like an hour, i watch them now and then ,like i said i dont see a different, maybe i just have to really drive a ff and fr to see if its true or not.
this thread should be closed, i will never find an answer .
