need some help with drift - 4/15/2006 1:34:04 AM    19accord92   Posts: 16 Joined: 4/8/2006 Status: offline hey, i want to get into some drifting at my local churchage so i want to know what i need to replace to make my ebrakes stop the wheel completely instead of slowing down the car. so meaning the tires will lock up in the back, how will i do this? and is it possible to drift a turn using front wheel drive? i assume cuz you turn steering wheel one way, pull e brake once you are turning, turn the steering wheel the other way as fast as you can and keep the gas comming?

However, I saw this video (I'll post a link if I can find it again) of some drifting races in japan. This guy is driving this (highly modded) civic and he's just drifting around those corners like it's nothing. Lots of ebrake for FWD drifting. I've also heard that wheel spacers will help out since they will give your tires a wider stance, but I haven't tried them yet. (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 3
