basically you have to keep control of the car while smoking it up/hanging the ass end out while trying to link it up through corners, its all about style as well + what speed/angle your hanging it at.
if this is not an accurate descreption sorry its just my opinion

What the hell is the difference? I thought a 'drift' was when you lost traction around a corner, and came at it sideways.

Drifting is the loss of traction on all four wheels. (looks like the car is going sideways like a crab).
technically, this isn't correct, as you still use you front wheels to guide the drift.. i.e. countersteering..
So I guess this is sort of a drift... but not a full on drift..
it's a FWD drift

Hrm. Perhaps he needs a 700hp civic. I'm sure then he could lose traction on all four wheels.

Hahaha I can't believe I missed this thread!!!
Where was it hiding???
Although I can't be assed downloading something that I'm not going to be able to watch anyway...
I agree entirely with the words handbrake turn and flat spots...
Although I stand defiant and say that my civic drifted I will concede that there is no way on earth that a front-wheel drive could maintain the impulsion (sorry I'm an equestrian girlie habbits...ummmz...motion/speed/forwardness/acceler ation for all my non learned collegues) to successfully carry off the skill known as drift...
However...if u're like my and willing to give anything a go once (and may I reiterate I said ONCE...ok so maybe I do thinks twice...but only select things) civics are capable of doing a succession of 'mini-drifts' around roundabouts....however one must be coordinated in the succession of acceleration and braking and have the experience to do both at the same time...hehehe when one fails to release the handbrake when concentrating too much on steer...civics are proven to drift in full 360's hehehehe...

Guess it all depends on your definition of the word drift. Since there is a large grey area reguading this word people use it from anything like a bit of oversteer to handbraking in a civic. I don't consider what that guy did as a drift because a drift should consist of lost traction at the rear tires, and using those tires to controll the car as well as teh fronts.

*ahem*
Civic is FWD....if this guy is a professional he would know the technique of left foot braking (its hard to do cause your left foot isn't as sessitive as your right when u brake)
left foot braking is a technique masterd by especially the japs that compete in civic races....I've only ever seen a civic handbrake or left foot brake drift to compensate for the oversteer

AHEM... It aint drifting. And it sure isn't easy as well. I would give him credit for pulling that off. As for the flatspots. If u'r riding on radials u'd deserve it. Otherwise in a car that light and that slow (as in the clip) a good directional would last it out. I used to do it in my gfs car until she wrote it off.  . Missin those days and the eg6.
Hahaha.

Riiiight.... Power oversteer is one form of drift.. But a drift takes more than going round a corner and getting tail happy,, I believe anyway.. Anyone can do that.. Even FF that you seem to hate so much ...
A drift is to go round a bend or anything of that matter and being able to control the slide for at least the majority of the bend.... something that the Honda driver seems to be able to do..
