Alos transfers more vibration to the body of the car. Some are much worse than others.

Just google "stiffy" as the rest is immaterial and will net you insignificant results.

Oh yea, google image search will help you better if you search "stiffy."

Actually, if you want to actually cure wheel hop, search "eurathane motor mounts" for a thread by RAAMaudio. His method takes some time but works just as well as motor mount inserts and... is actually available!

you could probably drift our cars with a crazy stiff sway bar in the back, just everything in the rear stiff, and over inflated rear tires. In the front have everything the opposit anfdyou'll watch your back end give away in the corners alright.

yeah i want to see someone drift a FWD car, sliding and skidding and tray sliding is not drifting, if you can successfully drift you car around a course then that would be something cool to see in a FWD.........

and pulling your ebrake in a puddle definalty is not drifting.

i don't like the idea of "drifting" a tC. even though it's not used correctly.
anyways, i'd be more concerned of chassis flex and popping one of the sunroofs
tray drifting is sweet. a company should come up with a thick material and sell it, to replace the trays, even though they are free. but they last like 10 seconds

I think drifting with any car without reinforcements like strurts bars and others is highly unrecomended. Too much strain on suspension and the body of the car. I believe people that do learn a whole new meaning of the words falling apart.

You can drift with fwd. Not tailwhip a real drift is possible yes Ill find the video of ser drifting. Take a good car - like rsx, integra, ser, and I believe a mini cooper was another good car for this. Takes practice, lots of strain on the car. Awd can drift as well but simply because nither of the two other drivetrains drifts using the same technique as rwd doesnt not make it a drift. rwd is I beleive the only car that can actually keep drifting by applying throttle fwd will cant keep adding oversteer and iam not sure about awd. But fwd and awd CAN drift.

Given that if I was really into drifting I would absolutely get a rwd car.

I cant believe this is still going on When I think of drifting I think of the REAL use of the word, which relates to a slight drift at high speeds around corners to push back into the turn.. and it works with a RWD car. That is one reason you get schooled by RWD cars on a track if they know what they are doing. I would much rather have RWD for drag or track racing (or AWD). Hell, I grew up driving 70 - 80 down dirt roads and trails in RWD cars, using REAL drifting to carry momentum into a turn and still stay on the road. so to me buring the tires off around a premade course is just playing.. Putting on bald tires, using the ebrake, etc is SLIDING
