Ok now this is sooo weird. I'm a novice drifter and I know that you can drift with any car as long as you got the right setup. You can drift a car just by having good speed, momentum and timming your braking just right at the entry of a corner. When you get to the clipping point, things get a little more difficult, see a RWD has no problem to maintain and exit the corner from that point on, but a FWD car... You have to aim it's momentum just prefectly through the corner right from the entry, some power is very usefull too. The big problem is the settup and skill. I know that you can drift a FWD here and there, small sections, if you're lucky, but seriously drift the thing and compete with it!?!? Now that is confusing... I've seen Keisuke Hatakeyama and I just don't get it:| I mean, how the hell can you drift with a CIVIC and beat FR cars, Levin's, Trueno's and compete with 350Z, as I've seen in some clips and pictures!?!? That is truelly unreal, I mean you're not supposed be able seriously drift with a FWD!!!!

im sorry but anything to do with the mag has epic fail all over it!!! they openly promote speeding on the public road. how many other mag do story's and pics and other stuff on speed on the public highway ( 180pmh on the motorway, drifting on the motorway )

JWRC cars are all FWD and they seem to all drift pretty well :)

As Hostyle says, I it is all in the setup and the driver's skill. Lift-off oversteer etc.

Hostyle — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:31:27 GMT

@ Bart, with the hydro-wand and a suspension set up for easily slding the rear about, it should be easier to pull-off the FF drift. With the extra power and less weight it can also go into corners faster. Maybe it can then even 'drift' on ift-off oversteer...

It will be interesting to see how this turns out. My only concern is the short wheelbase and the abbility to control the slide...

a funky little project it is, but what's so special and groundbreaking about this project? how is this a FWD drift car instead of just a tuned Yaris?

"Motec M400 ECU" -- I think you killed the "you can do this too" right there.

Interesting though.
