Drifting with fwd is a controversial issue, but I beleive it can be done because I feel I've done it. The easiest thing to do is rip the E-brake. I'd do it in a parking lot and see if you can start to pull 180 degree spins. If you can do that, it might be a good idea to try 90 degree turns around a cone or something. Remember to keep on the gas. After that, you'll probably start to get a feel for the way the car will respond during a slide. The corolla is a light car, so sliding it will be relativley easy. If I can slide my Bonneville, i'm sure you can have some fun in your corolla.

(BTW, i picked most of what I just told you up from Drift Bible with Keiichi Tsuchiya. It's a good movie and it will teach you a lot.)

It is impossible to hold a drift in a front wheel drive, like around a circle. However, you can oversteer a front wheel drive around a corner. Lets say you want to whip around a right turn. First make sure you are going a reasonable speed (i find 30mph to be a good starting speed). Then once you come to the turn, turn the wheel sharply right and at the same time yank up on the e-brake. You will start to feel the back end sliding up under you. You must now countersteer by turning the steering wheel a sharp left. Once your car is at almost a 90 degree angle from where you started you straighten the wheel out and let off the e-brake giving it some gas. The back wheels should grip and you should not be up against a tree or upside down. As a note, never let go of the e-brake during the slide and have your thumb pressing the button in ready to drop it. Also, never panic during the maneuver, the key is to be relaxed yet cautious and ready. Remember, to drift you must loose control of the car and you are forcing the car to go sideways which it was not created to do. There is always a risk of the car being torn into pieces. For example, the axle can snap, a tire can be torn right off the rim, your suspension can brake. If you care about damaging your car i do not recommend drifting it. Further more, always watch your rpms, tire tread, brakes, etc. Also, over time your e-brake cord will start to loosen and will have to be tightened.

In response to the crates under the back tires, fast food trays work so much better.
