front wheel drive drifting help

[aleroMichael]

I have a front wheel drive car and it does seem to drift that well are there anythings that i should know that would make it easier?

I currently have an acura and an alero and i have been trying to figure out my e-brake on my alero and in the manual it says that i have to use the brake pedal to use the e brake like press on the brake and then pull the e brake but when i have tried it doesnt seem to do anything. does anyone have and information?

Learn feint and braking techniques. If you have an easy to reach/use hand e-brake, you can toy with that too. Fwds are quite limited in techniques. As well, most of your training will involve corner entry as you can not maintain speed through a corner drifting a fwd. For the most part, you're simply bleeding off speed, come in fast, exit slow. Eventually you'll want to move to a platform with power to the rears, rwd optimal, awd a whole lot of fun too.

As much as I'd like to see more domestics drifting, I can't say I see much future in the alero really. I say do what you can, but maybe sell on eof those and find a cheap RWD later. You can get simple technique down, but you'll have more fun in the RWD. There are those that can slide FF, but the alero is probably not the best platform to break out with. Good luck?

I rented an Alero once.

The rear brakes are pretty weak, you've gotta have a good speed and a good amount of lat. G's loaded before the brake pedal works much at all.

If you are dead set on drifting the Alero, you'll need a huge rear swaybar, some more aggressive rear brakes, soft tires on the front, and really hard tires on the rear with the pressures cranked way up.

You'd still be better off getting something RWD though.

they had a frontwheel drive car at irwindale last weekend set up for drifting. What you need to do is to lock your front steering so your front wheels point straight ahead and cannot turn. then put a steering rack and spindles in the rear and connect it all to your steering wheel. then let the front wheel drive drifting begin! WEE!

Isn't "fwd drifting" called *Censored**Censored**Censored* dragging?

[s13/350z]

do a bunch of stupid *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* to make hte car drift to be original even though its already been done wayyyyyy before you, or just buy a rwd car....or stop being a wanna be drifter...

This guy in his FF honda has been kicking *Censored**Censored**Censored* in Drift competitions in Japan.
Learn how to balance your car first. You need a little heavier front end. And only the following techniques can be performed e-brake, Feint, Braking, and Kansei drift. You can not due shift lock and clutch kick techniques. Take a rally course thats where you'll learn a ton about car control.
