im so sorry for those who define 'drift' for the civic in the video thats its not a true 'drift'....um it is competing in the series is it not? and in japan of all places to be. so dont hate just take it for what it is please.... the Japanese made drifting what it is today, so when they say honda's ff is drifting, let the fact be and accept it for what it is. You can't take the fact that its on the pro-drift level over there... keep your minds open!!!!
ya, thats not really drifting, I run in the dmcc pro division and I have "drifted" fwd when I was young. All you have do do is enter each corner for an e-brake slide or a feint. The advantage of having fwd is you always have power, so your not loosing as much speed when you e-brake. The disadvantage, is your not roasting the tires, your just flat spotting them, so no epic smoke.
Put some weight on the front end and some power, and I bet I can make a civic do that all day long.
dude not all hondas are ricers okay, i know they get riced out alot but still they are good cars and with a simple swap they will destory sti and evo unless they are boosting at high psi
yea man, im with yahs,..i like Civics if they are done right..its not the car,.its the owners..ya'h know people who put Loud shitty mufflers on their Civics and claim they have Crazy Hp and bla bla bla,..thats what gives them a bad name....
@AlaskanMeTuber i ve never seen a civic 4wd from the factory , every civic ricer thing has to mod its car to make it 4wd , you don't even know how you can make a 4wd civic.. so STFU
@lilcow418 yes but pretty much worthless seeing how it isnt a AWD that is 50/50, its more like 80% power in the front and 20% power in the back. not only that but it was made to only handle the shuttle, therefore anything with lots of torque/HP will destroy it

Drifting is Not cornering People. These cars carrie over $35,000dlls in Modds tunes, upgrades with in Adjustments on Transmission and LSD carrieng 1.5s.
Im sure most of you guys go happy seeing this, because all of the people here are Ricers with Stock Riced Hondas CRXs and Civic or family accords. Stop dreaming people and get real cars. Not econobox FWD pussy cars. its Gay =)

Pussy cars? YES what kind of idiot would spend over $20,000dlls in all kind of upgrades on a car that is worth less than a single cheap Modd =(
Plus FWD cars are made mainly for Fuel Econobox cars. Not Race. Its like having a CD Player now a days. Why would you try getting a Pussy Honda at that level, when you can have an I POD plain and simple. getting a real Car and stop complicating things like girls.
to you it isn't about driving, it's about ego. you shouldn't be taken seriously. you say cornering is all about a transmission in your video, but you leave out tires, suspension and brakes. you say drifting is so easy but you don't put a video of your self drifting to prove how easy it is. muscle cars are fun, i have a vette and a civic, but it can be a whole different kind of fun.
FWD and RWD drift in two different ways, best shown in this video.
A FWD will use inertia to carry through a turn, where as a RWD will use the power of the vehicle to carry through.
Both will drift, but a FWD will be harder to drift once you exit a corner, because there is a lack of inertia to break the rear tires and slide the car. That is why the rear tires are smaller than the fronts.
They are both drifting, they just go about it very differently :)
They are still a Front Wheel Drive... No change.. What the driver is doing is power sliding.. Not Drifting.. Notice the rear wheel stay stationary for a second while the Civic is sliding..
The Driver knows what he's doing, maybe he applied some brakes to keep the car on course and at the same time controlling the steering.. Just giving my 2 cents opinion..
I'm not here to create an argument.. If you think I'm wrong, pardon me.. Have a nice day.. :)
Actually no because you can control the angel of your drift with the handbrake on a FWD, whereas a RWD vehicle you have to use far more things to do that (throttle, streering, brakes, and handbrake if necessary).
i drifted my buddy's integra 2 weeks ago. NOT EASY. i got the hang of it, the key is to be extremely gentle on the throttle, PM me if u want to know details on how its so hard
really? I found that for fwdrifting it took a lot heavier throttle. the way I used to do it is feinting, countersteering, and heavy pulsed throttling to finely control angle and exit. i only used the handbrake if i heavily undercalculated my angle.
ah, well there are different ways to do it. one way i can describe my technique is... imagine you are trying to pull a 360 and so you get the car turning sharply, then you countersteer and use the throttle to control the angle and direction of the car. you can try it in your car by putting super bald tires on the back and taking a sharp downhill turn... works best if you have really stiff rear suspension. I drifted a civic in the snow at 60 and people were like "is that a fucking civic WTH!?!?"
you can drift a shopping cart in the snow. and i would warn you its not smart to drift a ff car as how it is very hard on the car. also when you need to correct yourself you wont have very many options and might find yourself in trouble
i don't know if i can agree with you on that. i think if you take it in steps and learn how to do it right your margin of error decreases. there are always ways to exit if you enter right, plus you have the added benefit of the ability to pull the car, which makes recovery very easy unless you have terrible tires. if you transfer the weight to the front tires you have pretty much complete directional control.
They seem to use the e brake like the anti lock brake. For instance under turning conditions on a FWD if you turn in and smash the brake and the ABS comes on the car will "skate" forwards so to speak. Its like that only on the back. Drift or not its got style
e-brake though, unless its sharp as hell, besides from that, hydraulic e-brakes usually lock up instantly without pulling hard. Hard compound tires, and the "ABS e-braking" style, it replicates rear wheel drive.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This really isn't a "drift". FF's are known for there under steering, due to there front end torque. How to counter that is just pull the e-brake and punch the throttle to slide the car in the direction you want, while maintaining some speed, more of a power-slide like everyone is saying.
actually there is a difference between drifting a RWD and power sliding a FWD.
Power Sliding sends you in a straight line to which ever direction you are being pulled at, and always cuts speed drastically with an inefficient acceleration while breaking out of it.
Drifting spins the back tires with lots of power and torque to create a sliding effect, which can be maneuvered into any angle without losing as much speed as power sliding / slowing down.
all i can say is HANDBRAKE WHORE.. 40 secs.. it clearly shows its just all handbrake menouvering and.. dip shit.. its just a honda body.. rofl ge fucked you low life peice of shiit.. u dont know nothing about cars.. fuk off and die urself buddy
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
not a civic, just a civic body, and a shitty one at that. wouldn't really matter which civic body they all look like something that a blue haired lady would drive, I wonder if anyone has thought of why civics have such an aftermarket, because they absolutely need it, they don't have any torque. or looks, or power.
The civic isn't a sports car, its an econmy car, but for its size and displacement, it will leave anything within its class behind. no it doesnt have torque, its a High rever, its got high end HP and can take that kind of abuse, something most other cars can't do. Civics have style as well it just may not appeal to you. The reason of the large aftermarket; its popular, cheap, and easy to upgrade. Your opnion is just that, you are entitled to it, but at least take an educated look at it.
you are wrong on 2 counts, the civic could not beat anything in it's class with it's stock engine, that is why everyone who has ever said anything good about a civic, involved an engine swap, and the large after market came because there is so many of them, no other reason, the civic is just like ford's mustang, you just simply see them everywhere, make no mistake, I am very educated about cars, and you said it yourself, econo box.
I respect your educated background on automotive technologies, however, in class C, it still stands tall with its engine. The engine swaps are only common here in the states, in Japan, where this video is originaly from, the twin cam B16 is producing a substantually larger amount of horse power than the USDM D-series engines. I apologize for not being specific
wahahaha!!! yea yea cuz there som ppl like u who knoe shit about car..... LMAO talk to any import racer..civic/honda motors/cars have alot of power u jux have to knoe how to bring it out...k
your name says it all, you are probably one of the most ignorant people I have had the displeasure of correcting on all the web, the civic is a piece of shit econo-box. Engine swap engine swap, engine swap, hell you can put any engine into any piece of shit, NO civic has good power stock, let me just give you and every other retard, some advice, get a better car to start with and you will not have to swap engines, and as for import racers (Ha Ha). Most don't do honda's
I agree that the person above your comment could have been a little more aware of spelling. But again, Saying "No civc has good power stock" is really incorrect, look up the specs for the Civic Type R, of SiR II, or the newest ones. Even the EF Chasis SiR Civic and CR-X had 160 stock horses, can you name other cars in that displacement range with that much for that era? Import Racers use what they want, please try to make a more educated statement next time
I drift in real life not on the internet and I laugh when people say this isnt drifting.. it is --he doesnt do it in the same way as a RWD and he cant compete against RWD in a series but damn it people he links the turns in a FWD car, thats talent, he is the only guy I know that is this good at it. Hes been doing it for years, Ive seen him in some real old videos. You guys make remarks that have been pulled right off of pages that describe drifting.
FWD cars cannot drift. You can achieve a handbrake slide, like the Blues Brothers use to park their car, but you CANNOT drift. Driftng is power oversteer, doesn't matter how you initiate the slide, drift is power oversteer linking successive corners together at high speed.
and how is that not power oversteer? only difference is you are steering with the same wheels you are sliding with... also, "drift is power oversteer linking sucessive corners together at high speed." umm.. correct me if im wrong, but isn't that exactly what he is doing?
Alright. All the 14 year olds commenting on this video, GO BACK TO PLAYING GRAN TURISMO 4, and leave the drifting to those of us who actually own cars, and have licenses. That car is NOT power oversteering, it is handbrake sliding. If you don't know the difference between the two, get your arse down to your local racetrack, and participate in an entry-level race driving instructional day.
for one thing I am not 14, I am 21, and I have been driving for over 7 years. If FF cars can drift enough that there are actual competition FF drift events in Japan, don't you think that says something on the issue?? I've drifted countless times in both FF and FR cars, and the only noticable difference between the two is one is pushing the car and the other is pulling.. other than that, the idea is relatively the same.
Just because the tail end of the car has broken traction in both cases, it is NOT the same. The physics, the grip and weight transfer behind the two kinds of slides are completely different. So you started driving since you were 14, huh? Not bad, you're either a country boy or a car thief... I started driving in our farm ute at 12. No better way to learn to slide than whipping sideways between trees at 80 km/h when you can barely see over the dashboard...
lol nah i live in the city. I got my license when i was 14 1/2, but I was driving before then. on the issue, like i said, one is pushing, the other pulling. but the basic idea of getting the tail end out and counersteering the car is the same. its true rw,fw, and 4w drift differently, but what Im trying to say is that the fact that what they are doing is what is classified by even the professionals as drifting.
amen to that. i can't stand people who watch "the fast and the furious" and think that pulling on your ebrake automatically makes you a drifter. not to hate on the series for trying to bring attention for the scene, but in my oppinion it's totally destroyed the culture. I hate having people ask me if i have NOS in my car, or comment on how my car is "so fast and furious"
you pre-teen losers should grow up, get your licenses, buy a real car (not FWD for fucks sake), get some experience drifting on a race track, and not post crap all over youtube.
to people who think professional RWD drifters use the handbrake to initiate a slide, YOU ARE A FUCKEN IDIOT! Pro level drifters almost NEVER touch the handbrake lever, they use inertia (sway) drifting techniques to initaiate most of their slides, with the occasional clutch stab or kerb bounce depending on the circumstances. the 200SX in the background was being HELD UP by the slow FWD handbrake drifter, he was slowing down to make a gap, then OWNING the civic every time he slid a corner.
Well considering drifting competitions have nothing to do with speed or times, it doesnt matter if the civic was slightly slower then the 200sx. And alot of times drifters uses multiple techniques to initiate a slide, handbrake, flick anything.
Drifting competitions do everything to do with speed, which you would know if you'd ever actually competed at club level, not against your mates on some back roads... The whole idea is to get the most stylish, biggest angles whilst following the racing line and trying to gain enough speed to overtake your opponent. Overtake = instant win. Spin = instant loss.
dude, if you're saying that about ff cars, then you seriously dont know what youre talking about. the more power an ff packs, the more severe the engine braking, which induces more lift off oversteer, thus allowing ffs to take corners via the ideal drifting method, lift off oversteer for high speed angled entry, and power on understeer to exit at high speeds.
That is impressive but still you can't really class it as drifting, that was locking the rear wheels where as Drifting consists of spinning the rear wheels. Personally I don't even see the point in tuning a FWD car in the first place! It just heightens the risk of under steer, thus less fun...
Yeah and after a few laps the tires have reverted to before the discovery of the wheel - square :D

old civics don't have ABS >.>, and he probably has a hydraulic e brake hooked up.

I would like to highlight that he used it LIKE and anti-lock brakes. The part where I said that is the first sentence. You're a silly willy.
Rhenthalin 3 years ago
oh my bad, yea its definitely a hydraulic
e-brake though, unless its sharp as hell, besides from that, hydraulic e-brakes usually lock up instantly without pulling hard. Hard compound tires, and the "ABS e-braking" style, it replicates rear wheel drive.

in drifting they dont need ABS

drifting is the sport and art of controling a slide... any car can drift.. period caus chuck noris said so and i wouldnt fuck with chuck

If e-brake drifting isnt "drifting".Then why did the drift king make a tutorial on how to drift with the E-brake.Huh Huh Huh
hondaishere 3 years ago
true. but the drift king initiates the drift with the e-brake, not doing constant e-brake turns. love that tuturial btw :D

According to Tsuchia san, FF cars can drift. And the E-Brake technique is allowed to be called a full on drift.

This really isn't a "drift". FF's are known for there under steering, due to there front end torque. How to counter that is just pull the e-brake and punch the throttle to slide the car in the direction you want, while maintaining some speed, more of a power-slide like everyone is saying.

y drift a civic? when you can drift a rwd with a whole lot less effort

because drifting a civic takes a lot more skill then rwd.. why did you even ask that ridiculous question.

is that civic setup to drift(suspension). Or is it just some coil overs. Great technique.

Drift and powerslide are different.
Same look/effect. Different terminology.
kkrashh 3 years ago
actually there is a difference between drifting a RWD and power sliding a FWD.
Power Sliding sends you in a straight line to which ever direction you are being pulled at, and always cuts speed drastically with an inefficient acceleration while breaking out of it.
Drifting spins the back tires with lots of power and torque to create a sliding effect, which can be maneuvered into any angle without losing as much speed as power sliding / slowing down.
Both requires skill. But very different.

not a civic, just a civic body, and a shitty one at that. wouldn't really matter which civic body they all look like something that a blue haired lady would drive, I wonder if anyone has thought of why civics have such an aftermarket, because they absolutely need it, they don't have any torque. or looks, or power.
stabbyronnie 4 years ago
The civic isn't a sports car, its an econmy car, but for its size and displacement, it will leave anything within its class behind. no it doesnt have torque, its a High rever, its got high end HP and can take that kind of abuse, something most other cars can't do. Civics have style as well it just may not appeal to you. The reason of the large aftermarket; its popular, cheap, and easy to upgrade. Your opnion is just that, you are entitled to it, but at least take an educated look at it.
ShadowedThorn 4 years ago 2
you are wrong on 2 counts, the civic could not beat anything in it's class with it's stock engine, that is why everyone who has ever said anything good about a civic, involved an engine swap, and the large after market came because there is so many of them, no other reason, the civic is just like ford's mustang, you just simply see them everywhere, make no mistake, I am very educated about cars, and you said it yourself, econo box.
stabbyronnie 4 years ago
I respect your educated background on automotive technologies, however, in class C, it still stands tall with its engine. The engine swaps are only common here in the states, in Japan, where this video is originaly from, the twin cam B16 is producing a substantually larger amount of horse power than the USDM D-series engines. I apologize for not being specific

your name says it all, you are probably one of the most ignorant people I have had the displeasure of correcting on all the web, the civic is a piece of shit econo-box. Engine swap engine swap, engine swap, hell you can put any engine into any piece of shit, NO civic has good power stock, let me just give you and every other retard, some advice, get a better car to start with and you will not have to swap engines, and as for import racers (Ha Ha). Most don't do honda's
stabbyronnie 4 years ago
I agree that the person above your comment could have been a little more aware of spelling. But again, Saying "No civc has good power stock" is really incorrect, look up the specs for the Civic Type R, of SiR II, or the newest ones. Even the EF Chasis SiR Civic and CR-X had 160 stock horses, can you name other cars in that displacement range with that much for that era? Import Racers use what they want, please try to make a more educated statement next time

I drift in real life not on the internet and I laugh when people say this isnt drifting.. it is --he doesnt do it in the same way as a RWD and he cant compete against RWD in a series but damn it people he links the turns in a FWD car, thats talent, he is the only guy I know that is this good at it. Hes been doing it for years, Ive seen him in some real old videos. You guys make remarks that have been pulled right off of pages that describe drifting.

mates i can drift my fwd magna wagon like that. but you cant call it driftin. its just draggin the rear wheels. Feels piss funny
batch2448 4 years ago
That is drifting, fwd cars compete in drift comps. The definition of drifting is
"To cause a vehicle to exceed its tire's limits of adhesion, exhibiting a lateral slip, resulting in an oversteer condition."
Which is exactly what that guy is doing.
Mikew995 4 years ago
FWD cars cannot drift. You can achieve a handbrake slide, like the Blues Brothers use to park their car, but you CANNOT drift. Driftng is power oversteer, doesn't matter how you initiate the slide, drift is power oversteer linking successive corners together at high speed.
ChrisHallett83 4 years ago
and how is that not power oversteer? only difference is you are steering with the same wheels you are sliding with... also, "drift is power oversteer linking sucessive corners together at high speed." umm.. correct me if im wrong, but isn't that exactly what he is doing?
djdryon 4 years ago
Alright. All the 14 year olds commenting on this video, GO BACK TO PLAYING GRAN TURISMO 4, and leave the drifting to those of us who actually own cars, and have licenses. That car is NOT power oversteering, it is handbrake sliding. If you don't know the difference between the two, get your arse down to your local racetrack, and participate in an entry-level race driving instructional day.
ChrisHallett83 4 years ago
for one thing I am not 14, I am 21, and I have been driving for over 7 years. If FF cars can drift enough that there are actual competition FF drift events in Japan, don't you think that says something on the issue?? I've drifted countless times in both FF and FR cars, and the only noticable difference between the two is one is pushing the car and the other is pulling.. other than that, the idea is relatively the same.
djdryon 4 years ago
Just because the tail end of the car has broken traction in both cases, it is NOT the same. The physics, the grip and weight transfer behind the two kinds of slides are completely different. So you started driving since you were 14, huh? Not bad, you're either a country boy or a car thief... I started driving in our farm ute at 12. No better way to learn to slide than whipping sideways between trees at 80 km/h when you can barely see over the dashboard...
ChrisHallett83 4 years ago
lol nah i live in the city. I got my license when i was 14 1/2, but I was driving before then. on the issue, like i said, one is pushing, the other pulling. but the basic idea of getting the tail end out and counersteering the car is the same. its true rw,fw, and 4w drift differently, but what Im trying to say is that the fact that what they are doing is what is classified by even the professionals as drifting.

chachipower 4 years ago
amen to that. i can't stand people who watch "the fast and the furious" and think that pulling on your ebrake automatically makes you a drifter. not to hate on the series for trying to bring attention for the scene, but in my oppinion it's totally destroyed the culture. I hate having people ask me if i have NOS in my car, or comment on how my car is "so fast and furious"

you pre-teen losers should grow up, get your licenses, buy a real car (not FWD for fucks sake), get some experience drifting on a race track, and not post crap all over youtube.
ChrisHallett83 4 years ago
to people who think professional RWD drifters use the handbrake to initiate a slide, YOU ARE A FUCKEN IDIOT! Pro level drifters almost NEVER touch the handbrake lever, they use inertia (sway) drifting techniques to initaiate most of their slides, with the occasional clutch stab or kerb bounce depending on the circumstances. the 200SX in the background was being HELD UP by the slow FWD handbrake drifter, he was slowing down to make a gap, then OWNING the civic every time he slid a corner.
ChrisHallett83 4 years ago
Well considering drifting competitions have nothing to do with speed or times, it doesnt matter if the civic was slightly slower then the 200sx. And alot of times drifters uses multiple techniques to initiate a slide, handbrake, flick anything.
Mikew995 4 years ago
Drifting competitions do everything to do with speed, which you would know if you'd ever actually competed at club level, not against your mates on some back roads... The whole idea is to get the most stylish, biggest angles whilst following the racing line and trying to gain enough speed to overtake your opponent. Overtake = instant win. Spin = instant loss.
ChrisHallett83 4 years ago
dude, if you're saying that about ff cars, then you seriously dont know what youre talking about. the more power an ff packs, the more severe the engine braking, which induces more lift off oversteer, thus allowing ffs to take corners via the ideal drifting method, lift off oversteer for high speed angled entry, and power on understeer to exit at high speeds.
SeverAMV 4 years ago
That is impressive but still you can't really class it as drifting, that was locking the rear wheels where as Drifting consists of spinning the rear wheels. Personally I don't even see the point in tuning a FWD car in the first place! It just heightens the risk of under steer, thus less fun...
