Umm i know "real" drifters also use ther hand brakes??? A comon thing, watch the pros do it. Unfortunatly, thats a FWD ONLY option, where as its not with a rwd.

If you try the above methond (on PRIVATE roads), and get it good, you will get some incredible angles

here u go for anyone with lots of money and lots of time... u can make a rwd integra

i know drifters use the handbrake for a split second to kick the tail out, they dont hold it up through the hole drift though.

Pro's don't touch the handbrake unless its to save them or to eliminate a little understeer. Otherwise drifts are initiated by weight transfer using techniques like the feint drift as such

I watched the Drift King, and he uses his hand brake.
Even drifted the New 430 Ferrari

Also i've got a AVI file of drifting where this guy drifted a EG sedan, handbrake all the way! Was in one of those drift matches, he got best effort award.

Yeah pretty much put you can drift anything if your up to it. The only difference is that FWD (and i believe AWD) cannot counter steer, or jump from one drift to another quickly enough to warrant you doing it. RWD has the upper hand in these areas.

S2000 - has abit of trouble drifting really well cos of its convertible status, makes it abit of a slug when you drift, but you can still drift it though. There are also the ones with the full roof, they drift fine.

Last thing, drifting is more for show, too much drifting slows you down, most people try to elimiate drifting to a minimum for max traction and speed. Also less pressure on tyres.

That's also why FWD is bad for drifting after a few drifts your can't steer as well or power out to cause a drift.

Ummm....

1. E-brake technique is comon but frowned apon by ppl who think they a hardcore.

2. Even the pros do it, i dont car too much for the sport, it looks cool and if its on tv ill watch it. But whenever i doo see them, they do use the handbrake. Heck ive even been to an event and seen them do it.

3. Unless u havent noticed, we all got fwd (bar the s2000 and NSX) so if u got a better way to do it, plz tell us.

And your definition on Drifting is.....

So, i will again refer you to this:

Keiichi in drift bible does it to teach people the starting point of drift, the use of handbrake to start the drift, but watch the D1GP and you'll see they don't use the handbrake much...

EDIT: If you've got the competition setup that the D1 Pros have, you eliminate the use of handbrake in many of the corners, some still require the use of handbrake. I never said anything about drive layout either. Only what I stated before. I've watched the D1GP live and on TV etc... So I'd not have a clue about how a FWD will drift simply because there aren't any to see, so anything about FWD cars drifting is new to me...

Feint Drift that a lot of the pros love to use don't use the handbrake which was what I was referring to. They use the shift in weight to get the car to drift.

I was just saying they sometimes do... N e ways Enjoys the Vids

actually they do touch the handbrake... and theres a special type of hand brake you can buy which you dont have to push the button in (and a bar to stop it where you want for normal use such as parking) which you can keep yanking at it quickly and as keiichi says in the drift bible pulling it so ppl watching can hardly tell you are pulling it
