I drift on my Honda FWD not on my G35.

U can apply the tuskinavian (mispelled surely) flick or hand brake.

One of the vids (Tiff Burning Rubber) teaches you that.

^ Yah .. made big scores in underground ......
i did drift once ...i got a FWD car ....
it goes like this ....
it was my second day of driving and i was on a open road and there wasnt even a
single car there.. my bro was wid me .. he was really making me mad with his comments .... in the made a mistake and said "ya couldnt even do a 180 "
i was like oh yeah ... "i didnt know how to do a180 at that time " but i flowred it in 2nd
flicked the wheel and pulled the handbreak .... ma bro released the handbreak just as i was dipping the clutch ... and WALA the car went mad .. . it was the drift or my life ..
because of FWD i couldnt stear the car ya know understear ... so i hit the breaks ... and ma stupid bro pulled the handbreak .... the car did a 360 on the grass ....

i don't think she'd take too kindly to drifiting if i tried it one day

will probably need to wait till i can drive without her

I got a 106 xsi that i have fun with when its wet and the roads are empty.
If you approach a round-about as soon as you enter the corner if you pull the hand break and apply counter steer almost at the same time, you can have quite a bit of fun.

I love using the handbreak when its wet.
I used to drive arround to find big empty carparks or dead end roads to pracitce...

Cant afford to do it in the dry tho, tyres are too expensive and you got to go almost double the speed to get the same effect....

I did it once before on gravel in the evo but never again. It may chip off the paint... But the experience was great.

Driving my gf's mx5 in the gravel car park of a local pub, lots of fun Not enough power to do anything on the road.

I get the inside wheel spinning on the esprit sometimes powering out of tight bends, but its rare to get a full slide and just too dangerous on a public road. Its only gone completely sideways on me a couple of times in the wet. You feel like a god when you catch it, but deep down you know you're playing with fire

Hi!

Well I have a FWD, and its not powerful, only a Golf III, but when its wet and there are some leaves on the road, at night, nobody on the street, well, then I'll try it all the time... As long as my girlfriend is not in the car... She always starts to scream
I also drifted with my dads 5 series on Gravel... its a 530d touring and sooo easy to control... Would have never thought of that (DSC turned OFF, off course...)

Drifting rules... Except snowboarding the only good thing in winter

As Brembo said, it depends on the definition of drifting.

In the winter I drift as much as I can with FWD. You know, using the handbrake when cornering, in roundabouts and on empty parking lots. If you have the space to start with rather high speed you can do some long wide turns with the handbrake!

I have a 325is which of course is RWD so it shouldn´t be too difficult.
Mostly I drift when it´s raining, on dry tarmac I can get the tail out but I can´t hold the slide. Well not that I´m the king of drifting when it´s wet, but I do have lots of fun.

I "drift" my ATV in the sand or gravel or mud depending on how much its rained. tons of fun but tricky with a high center of gravity and short wheel base.

I used to drive a 4Runner and that far fishtail during winters.............so I am kinda forced to drift. Mostly I will put all my drifting needs in games.
