Celica Forums General Discussion General I killed a civic...

Today I was driving my girl friend's old civic, her brother and his friend were in the car, and I tried to show them drifting, so when I turned, I used hand brake, I did well at most of turn, but I missed one turn, I turned too little, and the car hit the sidewalk, it made a big sound, and the tire became a weird shape, can't drive it nomore, not only because the tire, the door won't open, either. My girl friend wasn't mad at me, and their parents didn't ask me to pay, they said the car is too old, it wasting money to fix it. They asked me to drive carefully, and I swear I won't drift on the road again, it's heck sacred.

why would you do that with ppl in the car anyways

ur lucky nothing bad happend and that she and her parents were cool about it...but you were shitting ur pants huh

PS: drifting in a civic

well its a civic...

couldn't have put it better myself

no offense, but i would never do anything like that to anybody's car, even if they told me that it was ok to do it.

Karma. no matter what.

but, good kill.

couple of things some mentioned already...

why you drifting in another persons car?
with other people in the car??
also do you even know how to?
on a civic??fwd car??? wht makes you think its possible??
(it is but only professionals can do it)

your just crazy bro
trying to be cool and now you get laugh at

u did something wrong and glad you learned. you should be a man and suck it up and pay somehow. tell her parents that you are willing to pay for ur stupidity.

omg poor civic, tell her to get a celica!

haha my friend did that to his ex-camaro in a church parking lot.

except he jumped a curb, went down the hill, and landed on the road below. it broke both wheels on the driver side and messed up the ground effects pretty bad.

I did say that to them, but they wanted their insurance company to pay.

Wait for winter at least .. that's what we do here.

But I guess snow doesn't come to cali too often. Drifting was probably invented by Canadians or maybe the Russians.

yea tell her to go wit a celica i think girls in celicas are hot!!

least no one was hurt...

well besides teh civic..

pplz need to stop trying to show off, you can end up hurting ur self and ur passangers, and wtf were you thinking drifting on a civic glad ur passengers were not hurt

lol man even I wouldnt try to drift a civic

reminds me of the drifter who got owned in the video section...

my because tried to do it on a country road doing 40 in a countour. wow, ended up in dicth.

fuck that, rip off the front bumper and put it on your wall as a trophy, like antlers, be proud of your kill!!!

Drifting is ok to watch, but I would never do it.

Drifting a FWD car using the parking brake is dumb unless its in snow & then you don't loose your momentum.

drifter wannabe...it's not that easy to drift a fwd civic...

Cut him some slack. He learned his lesson.

^^^no he didn't, he racked a car and didn't had to pay anything...

his lucky it was his gurls house, if it would be my friend i would kick his ass and make him pay, even if the car is old and fucked up, if i was you i would still fix it, makes you look better, right now i bet her parents are thinking ur an ass, dont mean to be mean but i know if i did that shit i would pay for it, it would of been my mistake and ill take full respond for that shit

the civic deserved it

coulda slid and hit another car. then i think outcome would be different. I think drifting originated from rally racing.

o my god that is so funny i can't stop laughing

thats what you get for trying to show off

Haha, driftin in a civic I just LMAO just thinkin about watchin you.

...glad your ok

I've drifted in my friends Ford Escort before, not the funnest or easiest thing to do but I pulled it off. On the other hand you should never, EVER drift with 4 people in a car, maybe 1 passenger but thats it, it throws off the balance too much and it is very hard to adjust to that kind of weight. I think that what you were doing is considered more of a power slide, unless you really did go into full counter steer. Also what yr civic was it?

^^but serg you know how to drift, this guy is just showing off

I hope you learned your lesson. pulling the ebrake willmake the back end slide out but if you dont have a good enough sway bar itll just screw the toe and camber of the back wheels to hell. also doing it in a stock civic your lucky you didnt flip the bitch over. but shit im not here to judge or make fun of you cause i did the same shit already . but then again my car was already going to the junk yard so i didnt care what happened.

just walk it off and remember from your mistake.

That was the dumbest thing i've read all month

He came...He showboated...He fucked up his girlfriend's (not ex now, luckily) civic. Hes not paying anything and he's feeling guilty for doing something he knows was stupid. He gets off with a slap on the wrist?

I got a laugh out of it. Maybe two.

out of respect, i think it'd be a good idea to get your gf a car tho...

It's pointless to drift in a FWD car. RWD cars need to slide because they don't handle like FWD cars in close, sharp turns at high speeds. I know everyone hates F&F, but remember the eclipse escaping from the two cops cars trying to block him? But I'd prefer a RWD for road racing and s-curve twisties at high speed.
Instead of drifting a FWD, just let off the gas a little in the beginning of the turn, swing the rear around and get back on the gas quickly just before you're pointed where you want to go. Use a little countersteer if necessary and use your front drive wheels to pull your car in the right direction. Most of the weight is in the front so don't worry about spinning out unless you get back on the gas way too late. The result is making a sharp 90 degree turn...something which you can't come close to in a RWD car without drifting, and still the angle won't be the same.
The above is all very intuitive in a FWD car and you may not even notice you are modulating the gas if you already figured out how to drive the celica in sharp turns. If you want to do it fast and perfectly though, you need to look at the corner and destination ahead of time, and focus on matching timing with distance and speed. Every situation is different, and so you must become one with the car and feel the turn.
Use the G-Force, oOoLINoOo...

Why were you trying that with all those people in a car. Plus drifting takes time to practice on a track.

WHO DRIFTS IN A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR?! - You won't get any pussy or props for it - EVEN FOR BEING IN A CRAPTACULAR CIVIC RICEBOY.

Hahahaha Dumb ass Oh and by the way sprint cars have been doin what you all call drifting since the early 1900's

i should hit

DAMN! and i though i was the only one that knew that. had some guy argue that drifting was started just a few years ago. but from what i remember rally drivers have been doing it for a lot earlier then the 90's

lol stop talkin man, your the one that tried to drift in a 4runner and everybody remembers that

A 4 runner ... LOL ... now that is dumb ...

here is the link is anybody wants to watch that video again

Can't see much, but I get it. Dubasses!

hahahaha you just called pinoypyro and breakindrifts a dumbasses thats them on the vid...thats not right

I don't know who was on the video, but drifting a 4 runner on bare pavement is stupid. But each to their own. Just don't hit my parked car!
