the first time ive oversteered in my fit!!!

all i have to say is, what an amazing feeling it is to oversteer without pulling the ebrake while maintaining control and speed through the turn in a fwd car. first time ive ever experienced that and it was better than sex!

im running bf goodrich g force kdw tires. they are super sticky. the ass of my car kinda swung out while my front wheels stayed within the apex line. i attribute most of it to my rear sway bar. the rear of my body didnt roll and pull the front tires with it. my cousin was following me in his audi s4 and he called me after i did it and said that he didnt know fwd cars could drift. hahaha. (my cousin is a dumbass)

lol. yeah, that's probably because of teh RSB. IMO, the progress swaybar is TOO soft. i'd like a more stiff rearend *no homo*

lol!!! hahaha oh man, yea the rsb helps ALOT. maybe if you put a straight rod into your rear end (no homo) without the bends in it would make it give less. but im not trying it

oh you bet that shit is possible. i did that during a hard curve slanting downhill.


i have 4 other cars behind me to vouch too.


my rear end slide out from me and they said it looked like i was drifting, kept it in a nice line and when i hit the bottom torwards the freeway, i finally hoped my rear end the other way to correct myself. i was scared crapless.

Try holding 35-40 MPH on 2nd gear on a 90 degree curve without letting your speed drop. It can get scary sometimes, but you'll probably like the feeling.
