Default Drifting

Does anyone know how to get an automatic front-wheel drive vehicle to drift without destroying the tranny? It just looks and feels so damn cool and I miss it so much.

I find a nice wet paarking lot works as well with the handbrake.

you can burn out your e-brake. Wear down your tires, possibly screw up the tranny.

I can drift my moms 2002 Civic EX with the ebrake like a mad man.
I mean some real drifts, full on through corners and stuff.

It's more of a slide than a drift, because I can't keep enough power on the ground to keep the car through the whole corner, so usually the first part of the corner is perfect and the exit is perfect, the middle is where I've gotta work on.

not bad for a whitey.

Its horrible for the car

Yeah but you were still rolling around in a ZX3 all day.
That kind of defeats the coolness of it and adds a lot of :ghey:ness

hehehe.
Kidding man. Drifting is fun no matter what.

I miss my Camaro Z28 (6SPD, 13.18's ... mmm) sometimes... oversteer at any time =]
Too bad the pos broke all the damn time.

ha ha ha :werd: antarius

i think the last time i went drifting was with my cousin down a closed street with an old ass Toyota Corolla.

i hear dry spots will mess you up, big time

overall, snow or wet pavement, and the e-brake

and i agree that you shouldn't do it, if you are worried
