I love drifting, and a good drift car has a really short wheel base, and alot of power.
No no one has modified one for drifting, but if you do, good luck, alot of work, but would be awsome to see.
DRIFTING IS RWD!Comment

I think B6T has modified his car for drifting
it seems to drift where the wind takes it
DAMN IF HIS ENGINE CAN DO THAT, HE WOULD REALLY HAVE SOMETHING! :twisted:Comment

fyi "drifting" in an fwd is just whipping the ebrakeComment

in B6T's case, it's called whipping out the sail and letting the wind whisk him awayOriginally posted by xanthinic12

even if the festy was RWD it still wouldnt make that good of a drifter... too much weight in the front, needs more balance and the suspension even with aspire swap wouldnt hold up too well. plus the whole 60hp holds the car down!-Taylor

yeah.. drifting in a fwd Festiva is what happens when a semi passes you at 90.. :roll:Comment

Short wheelbase, dismal power, FWD, and front biased makes it an excellent candidate for drifting yo! :lol:Cosmic Blue 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 - Mostly Stock...

no faith
MODIFICATION. it doesn't matter which wheels spin it's the WHEEL BASE. everything else can be M O D I F I E D. also parts and upgrades for this car are DIRT cheap.Comment

definetely matters what wheels spin, in order to drift you have to keep your rear tires spinning at the right speed inorder to hold the slide at its apex.
Even the AWD subarus you see drifting are convertered to only run RWD on most of them.
Your right however parts are pretty cheap, and if you invest in teh TEINS, you would have a better suppension, plus its light so a B6t with some extra parts would probably be enough power to drift.Comment
