I have an idea on how to drift an FF without the E-brake. Maybe you can enter the corner at a kind of high speed and feint drift into the corner. But use absolutely no throttle in the turn so when you countersteer, it won't flick you back really fast like. Or you can just use the E-brake for a sec to ge sideways and your perfect. Does anyone have any proof of my theory? Ic an't test it right now since the TV's bein hogged, haha. :D
 
I know I have said this many time before... it is 'ass-dragging'

Plus, you wouldn't be able to do that... cause you would just go sideways off of the course, you need throttle control to pull off a good long drift, and countersteering... so I vote no on your idea... sorry.

P.S. If you get it to work, or anyone else, post a clip of it... cause I am also curious.
 
You will have to turn into the corner at some point and gas it to pull yourself through it. But your entry will look good with the countersteer to make it look like a RWD drift.
 
ok i already posted a vid of an ff drifting without the e-brake link in.....http://s89004588.onlinehome.us/lol.avi
i used mix tires and i've down it before heh..

Edit: aslo it isnt ass-dragging in the vid because the back wheels arent making that e-barke drag sound and thier spining so.. techinacly its an FF drifting in gt3 !:eek:
 
no, but wat u could do is mix tires, feint into turn and gas it and tap the ebrake continually and ull find wierdly it will go with the turn and stay on track and stay sideways very easily. i used to try ur method and found myself just sliding off course unless it was a 90 degree turn. when i used my method i would be able to follow really long drifts such as the big one after the str8 on trial mtn with ease.like ne type of drifing it takes some practice.
 
but were trying to do a drift on an ff car, without the e-brake which i did and i can control it very well.

Big props to you... I stand corrected... I must come up with another word for FF sliding on GT3... but you can't do it in real life... but even if you could, who would want to? So in real life I stand by 'ass-dragging' name... but if anyone has a good word for GT3 FF sliding please tell me, cause I just cant call it drifting.

It can be done for real.

ill speak for that, good times in my dads sunfire up westwood:P heheh:D

and in the game, all u gotta do is feint and get a REALLY high angle, almost 90 degrees, if ur goin fast enough, hit the throttle and dont countersteer, the car should pull through and straighten itself out at the end of the turn...
 
Update on the mix tire method for FF drifting.
Having the front tires on my car softs and the rear sims forces the engine to lose rpms on 180degree corners and forcing me to downshift which in turn is pulling me out of the drift so i guess i need to change the fron tires to slick hmm i'll be back in a few with my results...

Well I'm just gonna go all out sims on this thing after my homework and shower.
 
Actually.. with enough torque and if you could get a lateral control chip with some active camber on the rear wheels it would be possible to drift an ff.. just very hard and rather scary (but this is IRL) i think in GT it is possible to slide an FF without the handbrake but i have never tried it.

sims all around result in bad understreer which i hardly doubt can be fixed in suspension settings.

Update: I fixed my problem i neededmore power i have about 382 now but my exits were sloppy and the car just flicked out of a drift so i decided to use super slicks in the front it drifts fine
Edit: basicly this whle thing depends of your tire mix setups so try diffrent things to see what works good..
 
I know that in Battle Gear 3, FF cars like the Integras (98 spec and RSX) are awesome cars for tackling the mountain passes.) When I drift the Integras I turn into the corner and continue to turn into the corner and gas it.

Take your sock off and grab one end. The end you grab is your FF's front, now drag it around an imaginated corner, you will observe how the rest of the sock swings around. This is one way of looking at how FF drift works. The Front tires grip and follow the road, and the rear swings and follows.

I found a site of FF Drifting Professional, check it out and tell me what you think of FF Drifting. It's a 91 Civic Hatchback.

Or you could do a reverse drift like I did. I should upload that video again if nobody has seen it.
Damnit, I thought I was the only one who could drift in reverse. Well I can do that in a RWD!
 
It really does hurt to see people saying FF and drift togther... I have said this thousands of times, its either ass-dragging or a very talented person that likes sliding... cause I will never in my life call it drifting... sorry, this IMHO.
 
Hey akinaKOICHIRO! You obviously haven't drifted in real life before right? The reason why I am asking you this is because you are making a fool out of yourself by saying that front wheel drive drifting is not possible. Front wheel drive drifting is possible because the game itself is based upon the real life drifting and handling of the cars. If you don't believe me, ask the creators of this game how they got the information about all of the different cars and the way that all of the cars handle. The creators of this game did not make up the cars and their handling. Believe what you want to believe, but this is the truth.

I am not trying to make fun of you, I am just giving you the facts, so don't take this the wrong way.
 
This topic has been discussed endlessly and always ended up without a truce.

The bottomline is, keep your opinions to yourself.

Think of this as the analogy to the recent same-sex marriage issue in SF. How do you define drift as opposed to marriage?
 
Analogy. Same sex.
*pun*

FF drifting is such a joke. Look at how he has to man-handles that little EG and gets the ass end moving so he can side brake and get it sliding. That ugly wheel lock, to me, while drifting an FR, means I screwed up at some point. So when I see someone treating a brilliant FF car in such a violent manner and locking the wheels like that, I can't help but watch in disgust.
 
Keep your opinions to yourself. Real life FF drifting is very different from the games depiction (FACT) Also it doesn't matter how you initiate the drift. If you are drifting, you are drifting. If you don't like it then it isn't for you. (NOTE the styles are very different, FF drifting is not good for exhibition and instead is a very practical way to conquer understeer)
 
I suppose you're right. But that guy in the vid and other FF drifting vids I've seen were exhibition drifting. FF cars suffer enough as it is. That's just killing them.

dont hate on FF driftin and you guys dont be tryin to come up with different ways to drift an FF car cause there isnt any other way beside using the E-Brake. even if you did the entry you will never have the exit.

and as for you koichiro FF drifting should not be called Ass Draggin. i bet you only say that cause you tried and failed at it. you should praise more in you technique instead of others. you people just dont understand. dont bother questionin me cause im sure youll be wrong.

A drift is a drift leave it that way and quit criticizing the FF style of drifting unless you can do it just as good or you the elite pro at GT3.
