Yes, i've sunk to new lows. I have started to FF drift. Anyone else in 3gs FF drift? I'm getting quite good, according to several people who FR drift and observed me. I heard a rumor though: The E-Brake cable breaking? Is this possible, and if it is, how much would it cost to replace?

I already am on my 2nd pair of tires, I have someone who gets drifting tires extremely cheap... So this isn't a problem. I am just worried about this 'cable' breaking.

why? just.. why? thats so bad for your car, you eff up your tires so fast (you already know that) im sure the ebrake cable could break, and im sure thats one of the many things you can break on your car doing this. AND ITS NOT DRIFTING. YOU CAN ONLY DRIFT IF YOUR REAR WHEELS ARE POWERED!!!!

Wow you are a tard

What you are doing is not drifting, all you are doing is e-brake sliding. Totally different. And all your doing is hurting your car more than anything by messing up the tires. Putting more wear and tear on the suspension, and will definetly break the e-brake cable. This is F'ing retarded

Its called powersliding btw Engineer. Big deal? I usually do it in the snow anyway. I replaced my buddy's rear brake cables before, and am fully capable of doing it again. I just wanted to know if youve heard of it happening.. he was hit on the rear right side of his car, and has an intrepid. We replaced everything and it runs fine.

Big **** if I want to **** around with FF 'drifting' or powersliding. Its not like this is my project car or anything.

if you do it in the snow, then how are you going through tires so quickly?

he was just saying he's done it in the snow before, and yeah when you actually drift your engine last's less than a year usually if you're doing it right, just because you're burning so much damn oil,lol and yeah i'd get a 2nd car for that preferably a rwd car, just that's just my opinion

Do it right. go buy a 240sx for like $500 ad really drift. FF wanna be drifting is gay. actually trying to drift at all is kinda gay really.

Ill never forget the n00bs I saw at the mall one time ebrake sliding there riced out civic. So I went over and pulled up next to them and hit the 2 step launched the car so all 4 were spinning and drifted a REAL drift right around there car one time and then left. Naturally the homo ricers they were they chaced me threw a parking lot trying to get me to race them.

So that said. pretty much that is what you look like trying to do this stuff. plus im not sure if you were here last year or the year before we had some kid who was like you argueing and defending his awsome ff drifting then he posts a week later because he lost control and hit a light pole and wrecked his car. We made fun of him too.

Dude you dont understand what they are do you. What you are doing is not powersliding. Its ebrake sliding. Two different things. Powersliding is exactly what it sounds like, you start to make the turn, slam the gas and countersteer the car with the power being what gives you your drift. You cannot do a powerslide with FWD car because there is this thing called torquesteer where the power to the front wheels actually steers your car straight
