Possible to drift Mazda 3 2010?

[Charb]

i work at a local movie theater we have a huge back lot which is perfect for drifting racing etc. Alot of kids i work with have some nice cars eclipce gs, lancer, and a toyota supra. we get off at around 3 in the morning so we drift. i just go my mazda 3 2010 and want to join in but they said i wouldn't be able to drift because it is a front wheel drive car and automatic :bang is this true?

[stillmatic]

sure you can! Just get some lunch trays...lol

Seriously?

Drifting Racing in a local theatre lot?

[Charb]

its huge haha guys set up cones and everything we even have ppl show up to the events

[chinsterr]

Why did I even open this thread .....

[thekid]

You can slide the ass end of your car around (using the e-brake, but you won't technically be drifting since you don't have RWD). Lots of people who claim to drift, aren't even doing that, they're just power sliding anyway.

While I can see this type of activity going south in a real hurry if cops showed up or if someone hit a hidden curb or a post, on an individual basis, heading out to a snow covered parking lot to see how your car handles in the snow is actually a great idea to learn about your car.

[Elusivellama]

How old are you?

[Charb]

thats what ive heard u can do. yea ive wonder that too with the cops etc. see im a manager so i have to stay until like 5 everynight so i watch when im on a smoke break. i got interested in it and wondered if it was possible with my mazda.

[Charb]

27 haha

[midnightfxgt]

Your friends that have an Eclipse and a Lancer say you cant do it with them because of your FWD car? hmmmmm.....

[Charb]

yea its more like a powerslide they pull the e brake and steer over. but cant u flip that way?

[shu5892001]

Eclipse and lancer are fwd too... IMO any car can drift if there is snow on the ground

[MistaChin]

Your friends that have an Eclipse and a Lancer say you cant do it with them because of your FWD car? hmmmmm.....

hahahaha pwnt

[Charb]

well they also do it when there no snow on the ground haha its more popular during the summer.

[shu5892001]

yea its more like a powerslide they pull the e brake and steer over. but cant u flip that way?

I think you should steer first and when you sense under-steer then pull the ebrake and the back just kicks out...

[Pereira11]

i thought this was maybe posted after Tokyo Drift came out...

[Charb]

yea id figure i just practice in a open lot see how it goes u know?

[Soyabean]

Many people on this forum do not encourage this kind of stuff thats why you are receving some of the comments you got.

In the snow, it may be ok to do so but i wouldnt even bother when there is no snow because that would simply help you go through your new set of tires more quickly. Like mentioned above, just turn, ebrake, there you go. Is it as fun as a RWD car? no, but if you wanna join in then that would be the easiest way

[Kinn]

I hate to be a big buzz kill - but as the manager don't you have some responsibility regarding what happens on your company's property? Since these kids are, in fact, your employees even though it's after hours the company could be held accountable for their actions and the consequence there of. Especially since "the manager" is endorsing it.

If I were you I would very quickly inform the staff that the activities must stop immediately and permanently. If they did not I would call the police and turn over any evidence ie, security footage you may have of the activity so that the persons involved can be changed.

Then I would call a local drift/racing school and sign up for a class in the spring. Next get GT5 or Forsa and you can learn to your heart's content about drifting (or it sounds like cars in general ffs) without putting your life, others lives, your job and your future on the line...

Who knew I would recommend playing a video game as a way to grow up?!!?

[Kevin@nextmod]

This is an old clip but who said you can't drift with a front wheel drive car.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUNMWGuduB0

[Elusivellama]

You're the manager? This is property that isn't designed to do this sort of stuff, there are too many things which could go wrong that you'll never see coming until it just happens. I don't know where to start when I think about kids in their cars, with their crackerjack cereal licenses, drift racing in the snow around cones and crowds of bystanders at 3 in the morning.

edit: not trying to pick a fight... just stating that this is not responsible behaviour, and you're the manager... you really should stop this. Unless the cops themselves are sitting at the drift racing 'track' and watching while eating their donuts, it most likely isn't a condoned activity... largely for safety reasons.

[slam525i]

Wow... I... You... Really? Like really? You're not just trolling?

Okay, so, if you're not trolling, here's how to drift a Mazda3:

1. Look at your birth certificate and edit your post where you said how old you are. You can't really be 27.
2. Take your car and your ownership papers down to the nearest used car lot. NEAREST is key because that means you'll have to drive the least distance.
3. Sell your car.
4. Purchase a bicycle.
5. Castrate yourself to prevent breeding.

NO WAIT!!!

You know what? It IS a good idea to drift around the parking lot at 3 am with people watching. It'll get you hot chicks. They totally dig it. Here's what you do:
1. Go to the opposite end of the parking lot.
2. Make sure your seat belt is off so you can move your arms better. Plus it shows them chicks how fearless you are.
3. Accelerate towards the bystanders, preferably ones standing up against a wall. Don't let up on the throttle or it won't work (er... for you, that's the long pedal on the right).
4. When you're 10 feet away, pull the handbrake and turn. Now you're drifting!
(5. You hit the bystanders, sideways to nail the maximum number of them.)
(6. You kill yourself and the bystanders.)
(7. The gene pool is improved.)

I weep for the company that decided to make this guy a manager.

[m_bisson]

Can't drift with a FWD car... Not by my definition of drifting.

[Cardinal Fang]

Unless you drive in reverse really really really fast.

[Roconne]

So where do you work?

[aZuMi]

Unless you drive in reverse really really really fast.

Even driving in reverse, you can't drift because the steering is at the back. lol

[shu5892001]

you can do reverse donuts lol

[cwp_sedan]

Unless you drive in reverse really really really fast.

Reverse FWD drifting = out of control :chuckle

[Thrizzl3]

this thread is pointless....why don't you go play forza buy a mazda 3 and drift it on there. that way everyone is safe.

[PearlM3]

Is this serious or is someone just trying to get us all going. You do understand, that as a manager, if something like this is happening on the property, while you are in charge, and something happens(and you have NOT called the police, and are rather standing there watching, or being involved). ie...a car goes out of control and hurts someone...YOU CAN BE CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE...i'm not talking you can lose your job, i'm talking you can GO TO JAIL. I would say you have two options....GROW UP...or go to the freaking race track.Preferably...GROW UP
:banhim

[MistaChin]

Does OP go 140 in a 40 zone? luls

Just lock this thing. Pointless....so pointless...

[cwp_sedan]

Let's play nice. Everyone can get their point across without being dicks (we haven't reached that point yet, just saying).

[slam525i]

Give him a break. He has a 19 year old son and drives an RX-8! ... or he pretends to have a 19 year old son when he really is the 19 year old. Actually, chances are he's less than 19.
(I normally don't bother looking up someone's past posts like this, but this didn't smell right.)

Seriously though, dude, you're welcome to stay and learn from those of us who are older and wiser. Just cut the bull, and we're cool, okay?

My son has a mazda 3 and i have a rx 8. recently my son got a warning from the police for making out in his car with his girlfriend. i guess the cops could tell due to the windows fogging up. any tips on how to stop the windows from fogging up with out the car being on? i told him not to let it happen again but he 19 and i dont honestly think he will listen. any help would be great guys thanks ahead of time

i love how people post threads about doing wreckless things and then get ripped a new a$$hole. they knew that had it coming..they just never thought of what the outcome would be prior to posting.

[towelsnap]

Why did I even open this thread .....


ROFL ... thought the same thing.... we are all young once...but really..... "facepalm" TOKYO DRIFT YO! and a brand new car..... SMRT! LOL if you learn from anyone on here.... don't even bother... I've learned from my mistake (blown engine street racing back when I was 19 for a pitcher of beer... not proud of it but in a new car.... really) street racing is for civic drivers lol

[cwp_sedan]

greg no stereotyping..there are idiots who drive mazda 3's (not anyone on here i hope) too..civics aren't the only ones.

[slam525i]

Okay, I'm feeling a little guilty here. I was young once too, so I feel bad for calling him out on this.

Let's just all welcome him to the forum and teach him how to be a better driver, when it is okay to "hoon" and when it's not okay to, etc. etc.

I, for one, extend an olive branch. We cool now? :)

I don't think so that we should be extending an olive branch, he's purposefuly lied to us on multiple occasions, he's either a troll, a developmentally challenged person, or a cop trying to get us to bite on things, and own up to things then nail us for them. I'd be extending the right hand of justice holding a big mallet!

NO names douche lol. But overall I think slam525i made all of our points and clearly at that on page 1! But seriously ...your 27 and wanna hang out with your co-workers ... I get that I understand. If they are going to jump off a cliff would you? I'm 27 years old as well... getting married and a baby on the way the only thing I'll tokyo drift is Hotwheels cars..... I say keep it open cwp_sedan.... we could all use a laugh... tis the season

Welcome to TM3! As you can see we are not a drifting or street racing type forum. Say hi to your son. You were the same age when you had him. Although your story is becoming hard to believe...but definitely entertaining:pop

[laksman91]

you can power slide not drift. neither can the eclipse or lancer.

[PR3Y11]

this was definitely the most entertainment i've had tonight...
please tell us which theatre it is you work at so we can all avoid going there

[Dave_The_BMXER]

This thread is wow.

All I will say is playing in the snow is more fun RWD, be safe, don't stay in one lot too long, watch out for curbs.

Too true. Slid into a curb myself about 4 years ago, it caused way too many problems.

So your brother has a mazda3 with activematic transmission (whatever the heck that is), you drive an rx8, and your 19 y/o son drives a mazda3....
Rrrrrriiiiigggghhhhtttt......
You used your brothers account to ask questions about making out in the car with a girl, and now you use it to post about drifting (irresponsible, illegal, and unsafe drifting at that).
Yet all the posts from that account have the same writing style and mannerisms.... It all points to some dumb kid who is 17.....
