Drift

i think everyones gunna have to agree to dissagree, we all got different opionions and i dont see anyone here changing there views. however one last time from me:p doin handbrakies are just that, its like drifting yes, but totally different. Aimre have you drifted in a rwd? its a totally different feeling to doing handbrakies in a FWD, still handbrakies are lots of fun though.

why cant you counter steer sliding the read out in fwd or awd? Theres a church right near our house with a dirt/gravel carpark that hasnt been paved yet, and some times late at night on my way home i pop in to have some sliding fun. Believe me you need to counter steer and i cant see y u think u wouldnt be able to. As soon as you rip the handbrake and turn a little youd just spin straight away without countersteering. And i can also tell you that you can link 2 slides easy - the tails out one side and as it starts to come back, using that momentum and a little steering its def not hard to bring it back around the other way. i like to do large open figure eights, which involves linking slides in two different directions. I usualy have the handbrake on constantly as i do this. Your obviously not speeking from experiance there.

drifting is completly for show. no serious racers, when they are grip racing drifts on purpose. if they experiance oversteer, its just oversteer, and usually a case of misjudgement. They cirtainly arnt trying to drift.

yes we all have our own opinions... this post started off as ppl wanting pics of hondas drifting. getting off topic here and i dont want ppl arguing over what is drifting or whats right. lets leave it at this

:thumbsup:

Muzz- didn't mean that you can't countersteer, just that you are not able to countersteer effectly like rwd when doing quick corners. All comes down to the rear being able to be controlled more easliy so that you 'drift' over the spot you want.

P.S i use to own a rwd and since it wasn't fast it was only good for drifting, i still have the problem in my ek wanting to drift it for fun. ;p

ahh yeah i get wat ya mean mate:thumbsup:
