Using The Hand Brake!

[accorddrifter]

if you want to slide your car around put a stack of 4 or 5 lunch trays under each back tire lock your ebrake (if you've been sliding on the streets this wont hurt the cable any worse) and go to town. i guarantee you will slide.

I understand... The more you stretch the cable the smaller your slide but the bigger your cable can get. So if I place a wee size cable I can slide into the post man. Correct?

that almost works too well...haha mcdonalds "donated" alot of trays to us its fun and that shouldnt f your ebrake up because your tires stay still...but still

WTF marvin

now why in gods green earth would you want to drift on gravel lol

NO, why in gods green earth would you think you could even begin to use the term DRIFT when refering to a heavy slow FWD car like the accord (don't get me wrong, i love my accord, but its not a drift car)

Thank you! Finally someone that understands what drift really is. You cant hold angle for shit with an fwd all you can do is banzai the corner and balance with the ebrake with the car full on throttle. I really see no skill in that. RWD on the other hand there are a shit load of ways to initiate a drift and takes a lot more skill to control. RWD you fuck up its gonna bite you hard, FWD fucks up you got a safety cushion because the rear end doesnt bit you since all the drive is in the front.

so what about the tires?do they waste if i use them on gravel?

run and slide on gravel like a slip n slide. then look at your ass. thats what it does to your tires. now ill read the rest of the thread. had to reply to that.

exactly drifting cant be done properly with front wheel drive. the point is to aim with the front and spin the rear. if its front wheel drive its just sliding.

x2.... drift=rwd cars

might as well crash ur car into a tree.....sliding around in the gravel... u must not give a damn about ur car...

You may not like the sport...or understand it...but that doesn't mean folks don't care about their cars...

in fact...it takes a greater appreciation and understanding for one's machine to properly drift...

granted...there are some idiots out there...and they usually do crash...badly...

But I don't think our "gravel junkies" are those folks...that's just fun...you should try it.


and on the rwd fwd...drifting is rwd... fwd drifting is impossible...yes...impossible. This is because drifting involves not only a slide initiated by weight transfer via braking or decel but also a power slide via drive wheels spinning to continue the slide.

The key is the drive wheels spin to continue the slide...you can e-brake to initiate the slide, and you can do this with fwd or rwd, but with fwd you cannot continue the slide by powering through.

Is it hard to do? Yes...does it require skill? Yes...does it require extensive and respect earning car mods...Yes...is it drifting...sorry...nope...ass dragging.

Another key thing...in drifting you wear the sliding tires all around...ass dragging you wear more flat spots...

Now you can drift a motorcycle

but work with what you got I guess...I'd rather drift than ass slide though...IMO

Yes there are "drifting" events with fwd cars and there are fwd vehicles that can ass drag quit well...but it isn't drifting...it's ass dragging.

Call it what it is...

hey buddy dont make accusations when you have no idea who i am.or what i know.. I have done scca events and drift sessions i also own a rwd car currently and had others in the past..

I clearly stated that this kid sliding his ACCORD in gravel while pellets of rock shoot into the body of the car.....thinks he some kind of Rallycross driver.....doesnt care much about his car..
