Drifting?

[whatever210]

yup when your spinning in circles your engine tends to redline constantly. done do it! its pointless. luckily i got it all out of my sytem before i got my new car. trust me ive been through 4 engins and a tranny. its not fun to replace those things. i love my cb7. i finally got done with my h23 head swap no way am i ever doing that agian. listen to every one here and dont do it.

dont do this. yes iron skillets count. dont tray slide, ass dragging, skillet sliding, j turn, burnouts. just dont do it. its bad for your cb7s health.

young and foolish kids that just got their DL so they act up.....i remember those days....i had a 1998 escort ZX2....(junk...)...once you get caught by the pigs you'll change your ways....IF they catch you....hehehe

OMG. Okay, if you want to drift, buy a rear or all wheel drive car. Unless you have a tiny little gutted FWD MADE for drifting, you will injure yourself, your car, OR SOMEONE ELSE.

Is it possible to convert my 92 accord to rear wheel drive.


And my car at the moment has an automatic transmission, I would assume that doing tricks could potentially harm my transmission?

Glad to see people that actually dont consider this "drifting" If you want RWD your better off buying something that is already RWD. Converting costs money and custom parts.

^ yup nail05 is right agian. powersliding is more of a term that i would use.

[jova1993cb]

yea but, wouldn't a rear wheel drive cb be bad ass?

its not drifting unless you have counter steer.. and i do plan to build a CB7 strictly for drifting.. and j turns, 180s and 360s should never be considered drifting if you ever come to a stop... and you dont always need to use the e-brake to drift a FF, their is such thing as using pure speed and/or waight transition.. and you should only use the e-brake to inisheate the slide or to give you more angle if you need more angle to continue the turn... and i havnt hurt my motor yet and i only have intake and a cat back exaust rolln on 17s, and over 308,000 miles on the motor.. never rebuilt... by the way if you r constantly redlining... u suck... i rairly hit redline while drifting... and yes i call it drifting not e-braking or ass draging or anythin else becouse doing thous things is not drifting.... if you know how to drift using a rear wheel drive or awd car, wich i do and have done many times and been given complamenta becuse im not to shabby at it, you should understand the whole consept behind drifting and then realise you can drift a ff car.. once you learn to stop holding the e-brake for most of the slide you will get better at it.. even awd and rear wheel drive cars still use the e-brake alot.

1. Uneven tire wear/flat spots
2. Its pointless
3. Better in the snow
4. Warping the e-brake drum in the back.

#3, Ahh the one thing I like about winter..

I would NEVER try something like that on dry pavement, or even gravel. But if you found an icy parking lot (not hard in NS during winter) your tires get very little traction (even with winter tires) and I can't see it doing too much harm

Its been done already but for a straight line. Think of the custom parts first. If you have money go for it. If not your just gonna kick yourself in the nuts. Also another thing to keep in mind the resale of the accord wont be that high. IT will be close to the same as blue book value. I dont see anyone nowadays that would want to buy a rwd cb unless it was on tokyo drift 2 or something.

the more you rip the ebake the sooner your e-brake cable will break like mines did.

[ilovemycb7]

Eh, everyone once in a while I hit gravle patches and you don't even need the ebrake. But all this is probably bad for the car too... but it's fun. So I guess it's a choice one has to make.

before you slide, do a scandinavian flick. it works a lot better. say you want to slide around a left turn. righ before you turn the wheel left, you flick the car to the right, probably about 1/4 turn, then immediately spin the wheel as much as you can to the left. this unbalances the car and unloads the wheels that would normally grip. when it starts going left, yank the e-brake and hold the button down. spin to opposite lock, then straighten it out.
it takes practice, but works really well.
