just a stupid tought is it possible to fully drift an accord on regular pavement roads?
u know the whole counter steering stuff i know for a fact that its a FWD car which is hard to do. but i just wanted to know if it was possible to pull off?

the only type of sliding i have done is just a power slide.

 

been watchin initial d eh????

 

maybe in the snow, otherwise, good luck

 

drifting possible with accords/fwd cars? yes. (car is sliding in certain direction with wheels turned and spinning as to gain speed while making a turn, whether to make a sharp one or to be most efficiently quick)

real, quality drifting possible with accords/fwd cars? no. (you probably waste enough initial speed trying to throw the car into a pitch than if you just applied the brakes and kept going through the turn, depending on the turn)

be careful and take caution if you're going to try.

 

Sliding with style is possible, but you will lose your entry speed in doing so. True drifting requires a RWD car and the purpose of drifting is to carry your entry speed through apex and and be line up for exit with the maximum force. Yes you can get a FWD car sideways, but aside from looking cool, the control, and speed is not there. With my old Z(83 280zx with a chevy 350 transplant) I played with drifting quite a bit, and it's a finesse of the throttle and keeping the tires spinning that gives drifting it's function, if it's not whipping hard enough you give it a bit more gas, too much drift you let off a bit, the whole while keeping the front end planted so you can steer trough it. I've had my accord sideways on more than one occasion, and it just doesn't cut it, there's no where near the control or speed through the corner. I've found the absolute best cornering I can do is giving it very light brakes through apex to shift the weight onto the front wheels, and giving it gas at the same time to pull through it.

 

I have heard the only real way to drift a fwd is using the parking brake and some gas. Read this in a review of a fwd car.

 

It is not impossible to drift a car but what I am talking about really isn't drifting anymore I don't think.... Does any body know how to post a pic?? I will show you what drifting a FWD is all about... And yes on dry pavement....

 

This is how you drift a FWD!!!!!

 

By the way I haven't tried this yet.... It was done by some body on another site....

 

I've done it, but not for long.
