INXS... just fyi, this entire forum is hosted in the States... so actually, it's all of us "Far East/Asia" people that are the bigger KPOs.

FWD drifting? You mean yanking the handbrake. Technically that shouldn't be called drifting.

No, a FWD can still be drifted by momentum and weight shift. The only difference is the manner of correction (same countersteer work but earlier straighten and point towards favourble direction sooner) and the impossibility of prolonging a drift by throttle application.

I will do what I can to keep it that way.
Sorry I was having a DE DE DE moment. Point taken

drifting with an Auto

Yo Bro,

Few things you need to upgarde if you want to drift with an AUTO RX8.
Have tested a few time with the instructor ...he did it with my car ....but recomm these mod before drifting:

1) 2 way LSD (limited slip differential)
2) better suspension (adjustable)
3) Force induction - reason is our auto have not enough power and torque, hence more power will make it easier to lose control at the back end.
4) negative camber (correct me if i am wrong)
5) smaller rims size.
6) F@#k UP tire ...no traction...BEST

My P.O.V.
