drifting...
 

there's this street near my house that extends about a mile. near the end of it, there is a turn that is about 90º and it's pretty wide. one day, i got bored and had the crazy idea of hitting that turn at 60 mph and pulling my e-brake. as it turned out, that's exactly what i did. i was on the way home from school and when i got to the turn, i did just that.... i went at the curve at 60 mph, stepped on the clutch, turned my wheel, and pulled the e-brake! (i drive a 96 civic hb by the way) as soon as the brake was up, the tail of my car lost traction and i was DRIFTING with the nose of my car poiting towards the regular pathway... it was a real good rush... but the thing was, there were two motor cycle cops coming my way... :D i was scared that they had seen me, but they didnt!! wahoo! ever since that first experience, ive been illegally drifting at any clear turn i see... :) shhhhhhhh. and i just got springs installed too! what a dfiference they make too. so smooth and hugs curves like breasts!! hehe. PEACE.

lol, nice dude...i have yet to try the drifting experience.

not a drift... more of a powerslide, to drift you godda have rwd and be basicaly riding sideways, sounded fun though :cool:

yeah, i DO do actual drifts now.... well, with the help of gravelly streets. heehehehehehehe.

You converted your car to RWD?;)

nah, drifting doesnt require only a FR car, although its commonly used. FF can be used too.

Its not the same with a FF because you can't spin the rear tires to slide. You have to ebrake and whatnot, creating the illusion of drifting. That's just my opinion.

yeah a drift isnt about getting sideways and swinging around a corner... its getting the rear tires to not make good contact with the ground and swing the rear end out while controling it with the front, riding as long as possible then swinging it back strait and ride it out. you can drift in a strait line too.

eh, it's fun as hell though! :D there goes my rear tires and factory brake line. :rolleyes:

lol... well the ebrake is a cable.... i think your gonna be ok

All I have to say is becareful.. You may not own you civic very long. All it takes is one screwup and you or your car will no longer exist.:o

I can drift with my dakota its bad ass my best drift is about 75-100ft white smoke everywhere
when my buddy gets his camera i will take a video of it one day

There are two kinds of drifters: those who have crashed and those who will. :) I've been meaning to practice, but tyres get expensive, ya know?

Max

LOL Max.

anyway if u wanna drift come to cleveland in the winter. don't havetoo try too hard. what i like better than drifting is when you accelerate and brake at the same time, so that the car goes sliding thru the corner. it's fun.

the toe-heel method? or some shit like that? i dont know. :)

yeah but you gotta use both of your feet. you got to accelerate to lose grip with the front wheels but not that much, and lock the rear wheels to lose grip also

Heh. Glad you enjoyed it. But....

Let's keep the Kills Forum to kills only......:)
