Incase you couldn't find it.

A great guy who wrote a great tutorial on some of the fundamentals and physics involved in getting slideways.
Anyway, check it out
most of the techniques he mentions can be used on a FWD platform, but of course, as always, there is less of an advantage then RWD has.

your absolutely right about the fact that oversteer is actually whats happending, just being able to control it.
Yes, FWD cars look ridiculous when drifting, alot of people call it assdragging , or infinite powersliding, or whatever, but the fact is that it is still a technique used actively in drifting, including the D1GP racers.
