Hi to all,

This thread is for newborn drifters, so if you had been drifting for sometime already, this thread is not really suitable for you.

Well, when i first tried out drifting in GT3, I made my life harder by going straight for the settings in the depot. Most of the settings there are for seasoned drifters and i almost pulled out all my hair trying to get those cars under control.

So here is a suggestion for newborn drifters, which is FAST, CHEAP and EASY.

The car would be RX7 RZ (276 HP).
Upgrade stage 2 turbo and racing intercooler. (412 HP) [for longer drifts]
Normal front tires
Simulation rear tires
ACM TCS set to 0

With this car, I find it very easy to execute all the basic drifting techniques (stated in most guides) step by step with alot of response time given to the driver (which is very much needed as a beginner)
The car is slow enough for the driver to execute his desired actions and yet powerful enough to pull out descent drifts.
The normal front tires provide more grip and can be changed to simulation when the driver becomes better at drifting.
The sim rear tires makes the butt easier to slide out.
After getting the basics right, it is easier to drift those other cars :) in the depot or those pmed by helpful pros in this forums 👍


Well, thats it.
Any comments from the pros? :yuck:
 
Hey, u noe wat? as a new member, i tot i was a newbie here but actually u r the noob around here.
if ur so called suggestion is so good, i dont see why u r getting such responses frm the old timers here. lol
so pleeaassee, take a hike, stop acting like a pro and give such SMARTASS suggestions. I can survive without useless post such as urs thankyou very much. I believe others in this forum will feel the same.

Seriously. This is actually a good thread. I've used that car with the same setup ebfore and it's a great starter car.

*EDIT* Plus, I'm an old tiem drifter. I've been perfecting my skills off of GTP and I know for a fact..that you n3wd....are an ass.

Point taken. :ouch:
Well, i did a search and there was a thread on beginner's drift car, but i thought it was a bit too general. just thought i can provide a one stop answer for people new to drifting :guilty:
 
Well, than i think you are just too nosey in trying to be helpful. There are plenty of other pros here who can give their useful suggestions. i dun need to take advice from a noob such as yrself. As we can see, u r still under the "new member" catergory in this forum. but its good that your got my point. really it is. we r all saved. thanks a lot.

and chaos_fire although i have not really tried gt3 drifting yet, but i tell u i can beat u in drifting for gt3 soon to come. till then we will know who is the real ass. and for your infomation, I got multiple "drift king" scores for NFSU.
 
Sounds like a challenge *****. I dun care aobut NFSU, physics are unbeleivable fake. If youw anan challenge me in GT3 drifitng I'll take yu on any time.

not to butt in, but your flaming him for being a "new member" when it looks as if you are to...i mean i do wear glasses so i could be wrong.

and as for the NFSU garbage u spoke of..woohoo, drift king, my 12 year old brother can do that....with one arm tied behind his back, as stated, the physics are unbelievably fake!
 
...newaz...i also preferr the MAZDA RX7 RZ"FD... but my rx7 actually has like 709 hp exactly and i can drft perfectly...i sai itz 2 much power but it wurks 4 meh...lolz....
 
another good car is the MAZDA RX& savanna "FC"and set it up 2 about 400 hp and 4 every car u will pretty much have 2 kno ur settingz..lolz...and i also agree with ur settingz psionix...lolz...but i dun really use the sim tyrez...lolz

for god sake..... shut up..... 👎 👎 👎
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

and pay some respect to the thread starter, he's just stating a suggestion and he's only trying to help :)
 
how can this n3wB even try and critisise anyone when he hasnt even attempted drifting before and still thinks he can beat some of our best?? psionix was just posting a thread to try and help out some new guys about drifting, have you not even read the whole page, there are many new members and old sayin that they agree with his view and use the same car. Have you not read the 'unofficial common sense rules for posting' thread yet? read the bit on common courtesy before you open your mouth again to try and insult others
 
Well N3wb. It seems that you've made a lot of people very upset in your first TWO posts.

I know you'll come back and say something like "I don't care what they think" or "I know I've got skills" But the fact of the matter is that you don't. It is impossible to learn how to drift well in GT3 overnight. Period. I don't care who you are and what you have. In the case of NFS: U well that was fun, for about 10 minutes. Everyone and I do mean everyone that has played both GT3 and NFS:U knows that the physics are ridiculous. Fun at times but generally stupid.

As far as psionix's suggestion. He's almost completely incorrect. But that doesn't matter. What matters is he was polite and respectful of others that have more experience and knowledge then him.

So before you start ragging on anyone. You better come with some respect and with some skills. You've already got one member ready to challenge you. And at this point you would be completely owned(that's right I can say that because I know that you haven't drifted in GT3 by your own words).

Why don't you go practice for a few weeks then come back and see how much you can tell psionix about his technique?
 
Well, i dun tink i sound very insulting, i did'nt use any vulgar language did i?
And i did not flame him for being new, i am flaming him for giving advice as a new member.
As for NSFU, its only one of the many games that i drift in. there is live for speed, initial D and heck, i even drift in daytona.
And pleeaassee, i have not attempted drifting? I drift for real with my subaru ts1.6 in my carpark. and i have been to lots of other forums on drifting before this one and it sucks.
Noobs should be able to stand up to criticism from pros and shielding them will do no good to them.
and psi, r u trying to mock me? [Ano... newb-san, no offence but u call sliding on market floor drifting?]
This is none of yr fk bussiness so stay the fk out of this. u r a complete failure to the drifting scene, so please just pack up and go home.
 
I see why SD gave up...
Aslo I hardly doubt this guy is a drifter. If he is. All he does is causes trouble.

And if you didnt notice initial d's physics arent real either. That kind of attitude and language aint tolerated in this community so watch out
 
Now that youve abbreviated what now seems to be vulgar wording it seems that your quest for advice will dim. its not nice to shun those who you call 'noob' and somewhat grade their experience due to their ranking in these forums. it only exhibits arrogance. floating around these forums doesnt exactly reflect your 'experience' as far as a video game is considered (although it does help to swap ideas/settings to then narrow your search for that perfect suspension strength, ride height, or gear ratio). and once more, i dont see where you can exactly refuse help from someone you consider a noob when you yourself sound like one. all in your first few posts... hm

Yeah, I should've left it alone myself. But it's too late now.

The only game you mentioned that is on the same plane as GT3 is LFS. And yes, drifting in NFS:U is sliding on a wet market floor. As far as that game goes, you can't say otherwise.

You drift in real life. Excellent! But, since you "know" so much, shouldn't you be more willing to help others then smack them down for speaking up?

Nobody is sheilding anyone. But we don't like it when anyone goes throwing around insults, foul language and flaming in general.

psionix had a suggestion. It was basically incorrect, but well thought out, polite and respectful. Unlike your posts we have seen thus far.

You may have a vast array of knowledge and skills in other games or even IRL. But with an attitude like that, who would want to listen to you? :dunce:

Would a mod please let us know what's up? This could very easily turn into a flame war. :ouch:
 
... ALL OF YOU! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! YOUR DRIVING ME CRAZY! NO MORE HOSTILITY!

IF THERE IS MORE HOSTILITY I SWEAR! I'M GONNA DO NOTHING ABOUT IT! YOU LIKE THAT! ME DOING NOTHING! *stabs himself with a knife* YOU SEE THE EXTENT OF MY NOTHING NESS!
 
Oh geez, I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said, but you sir, are a tw@t. You have never even played the game and you are flaming someones suggestion. If you have never drifted in GT3, how do you know he is wrong.

n3wB
Well, i dun tink i sound very insulting

And I hope you don't talk like this in real life. ^ It just makes you sound even more immature.

I actually quite liked the suggestion, and seeing as I have never drifted in GT3 before, I am going to give it a try.

Next time, think before you open your mouth.

I have never posted in the drifting forum before, but this just made me mad.
