I don't know if anyone here ever seen this here but I just post it anyway. This is a great FWD drifting in Japan.

I guess for fwd, it's a must to use the handbrake to let the rear loose.

inertial movement is also able to put the car into drift.... eg. turning hard right for a briefe moment, then flip the wheel to the left, and you go sideways. that is what i used to do in my old saab 9000t most of the time. by the time i had the car, the ebrake was a bit weak.
i recently found a video of what apears to be of saab making the 9000 do things i never even attempted, and a few things i did... i was amazed... but not suprised by the balance of the car.

eg. turning hard right for a briefe moment, then flip the wheel to the left,
scandinavian flick. Basically unsettling the suspension.

I'm definitely impressed by his drifting skills using the handbrake. It is really tough to drift with fwd car.

Ok...now the real trick is to get a nice drift going in a Taurus, try that and I'll give you some respect hehe.

Its not that hard to drift in a FWD car. The hardest part is getting the rear wheels out, after that its a cakewalk. I think he has aftermarket rear brakes, my Civic's handbrake wouldnt lock em up. The drums in back suck.

I believe the Civic SiR in Japan has 4-wheels disc brakes. I know how you feel, I had a Civic before and it had a rear drum brakes, yea, it was tough to get it locked up for some reason.
