oh, really ?

I guess it's not technically drifting, let's not start another drift debate, but that's some great driving skills for a stock FWD Civic!

Lol, i like the first clip, with the slow traffic, and then he just casually glides gracefully around the corner....skillz. lol

Nope, apparently it's completely stock, and it's road registered! so the cop would have noticed the tires....

I dont think its completly stock because when he was doing 360's down that hill in reverse im pretty sure i could hear a turbo whinning and he definitly has an upgraded exhaust.

it is not no where near stock and I have know of a few cars that are running slicks and never get pulled, cops usually dont notice them I suppose

Thats.... impressive, I thought you weren't supposed to Drift FWD cars? I mean in theory its all possible, but aren't there other damages to the car by doing it?

Azngtboi88 · #10 03-13-2007, 11:20 PM

Theres no way thats stock, a stock civic would be no where near being able to do a burnout like that. pretty cool how he slid it though...i used to do that with trays on the back! FWD for the lose! I cant wait to get a rwd car

supra999 · #11 03-13-2007, 11:54 PM

it is considered "unnatural" (sp?) for a FWD to drift compared to a RWD which can "break loose" and drift in a "natural" manor. To everyone that thinks it is stock, doesnt the exhaust sound aftermarket, it does to me

that vid is sweet that car is not stock and hes just sliding with the e brake i can do it in my si all day long that car has a lot of power and he knows what he is doing but if u ask me i rather drive my suped up 280 zx rwd

THE EDJ · #14 03-14-2007, 01:01 AM

i can do that in my stock CRX... except not. i mean sure its got exhaust and intake, but i still cant do that, not on dry pavement anyways. Theres no way that car is stock, at the very least theres exhaust, but the motor sounds a little bit modified, or in the very least tuned. pretty cool stuff though for a civic.

Numbchux · #15 03-14-2007, 03:38 AM

civics at least have rear handbrake....

I taught myself to 'drift' with my loyale back when it was FWD and front handbrake. it's a little thing called the Scandinavian Flick

kidZim · #16 03-14-2007, 11:26 AM

I also learned to drift, but in the snow to get the feel of holding a car sideways with my old FWD Chevy Beretta. I put the car in the ditch about 3 times a year. i got the hang of it, but it's a tad different from my BMW.. since the BMW's hand break only stops the passenger side, and it's differential is stock.. which sucks.

Edit: I just watched the vid. Pretty nice stuff.

This is a better Civic Drift EG6 FTW!

No I dont think it has a lot of power because hes using that car kinda like its one of his side cars to mess around with, im sure he wouldnt invest a ton of money into a car he knows hes going to mess up. And there is NO turbo on that thing, just a loud aftermarket fart cannon.

mini-z drift · #18 03-14-2007, 05:34 PM

well that guy has skills drfting with a FWD abd going downhill like that

STI GUY · #19 03-14-2007, 06:59 PM

there is some honda motors that redline at high rpms. My friends Del Sol (with a B16a3) can redline at 9K+, and I dont think that the civic in the video was turboed
