Body Roll, FWD Roll Options

[CrazyJ]

After reading the now closed "body roll" topic I just want to add that I can make my 94 SSII JDM 2.0 Celica (3sge) drift around a round-a-bout (these simplify big junctions in the uk)...

I was doing about 20mph driving like miss daisy in third gear barely touching the acceleration and my back end came right out whilst on a 2/3 lock of the wheel to the right.... It came out so bad I drifted the last 1/3 of the round-a-bout off to my exit... very cool and extremely scary....any doubters and I will take you for a spin myself (if you live near of course) and er prove it...

Any I was defo driving carefully because the missis was in the car...

I have had the front shocks changed and the anti roll bar bushes since, also waiting for the cv joints to be changed,.. I can still make it do it but have to work harder now.

just for the record.

Cheers

I have a little experience as I had both a front engined rear wheel and front engined front wheel, yes 2 times I have felt the back go out in the celica around a wet round about and a wet twisty road, both times were from taking my foot of the accelerator (lift off oversteer) as for dry weather on tar I have never felt the back go out, even on a track day I did a scandanaven flick and the celica didn't like it at all it just tried to grip, like people have said you just cant "drift" a front wheel drive, yes you can do a handbrakee or power slides but you can keep a continual drift.

In my rear wheel drive I only tried to drift it a few times and obviously much easier to drift than a front wheel drive as you can keep the drift in motion and it being continual, even in the wet in a straight line you can floor it in a straight line and the back will come out.

If you have good tyres you should get rare oversteer especially in a stock celica.
