Frequent use of the hand-brake for drifting purposes will damage your car over time. Not only will it wear down your pads/rotors but you can also risk getting a flat tire by drifting. But if your going to drift, then you should turn real hard and pull the e-brake quickly and accelerate into the spin and release the e-brake while still accelerating. That's how I used to do it in a FWD car.

Yeah he is right you need to go fast and just tap the e-brake then intil your back end kicks out, I have drifted my 3rd Gen before but i will tell you that it is going to take a lot of practice but you can do it.
