So im at the book store today and i see this new mag, called "Drifting", its by I"mport Racer!" so im like hmmmm looks interesting, I start flipin and i see it has an article about how to set you mustang up for drift. Im like hmmmm weird but deffinetly interesting. So i bought it and i get home, and set the mag by my comp. As i do this i read the cover and on the bottom of he cover it says "Drift Your CIVIC!" I find that quite disturbing, that kids will with civics will buy this and try drifting and ultmatley smash up someones car either theirs (Ok as long as they dont die) or someone elses (not cool). Anyhoot I was suprised how much drift stuff was in all the mags I read.

A$s drag yes...to technically "drift" no! You can't sustain a drift through the entire corner. I have seen a Camary wagon drift he is actually pretty good (especially to be rocking a Camary Wagon) but it isn't Option material.

But I still give him props!

Hmmh, a friend bought that issue and said the article shattered ricers dreams, by saying 1st of all you will never be able to drift a fwd car. And then they went into detail on how this was impossible. Have you read the article or is my friend full of ****. He's full of **** most of the time so i don't believe it in the 1st place.

Well I just started lookin through it, I havent found out how to drift civic yet, lol. But I did notice the 180 they feature clearly has an sr20, and they call it a ca18.

Ahhh found it. They just ask a bunch of top track people and just kind debate like 89240sx said would happen here. But I think Benson Hsu had the best response, "It depends on what you consider drifting." However it does give tips to FF drivers as far as suspension and techniques.
