As you can see, I cant complete my drift on the big turn on midway. I currently use an FC3S and AE86. They both have T7(front) and T8(rear) tires and both have around 300 Hp. Do i need more turbo , or do i need a different tires?
 
yeap.... those tires are tooo grippy for a 300hp car.
to pull that turn off, you must have good throttle control...
 
definetly get simsbut since theyre both fr u hav to be careful not to slam the throttle
i can almost do it with any cars now....i can pull it off with my 1000 hp r34 and sports....which is extremely fun to drift with....try it sometime

You also need the best tires in the front *smacks forehead*

What are you talking about?? I hope you aren't refering to mixing tires (bad).......... ;)
 
hmmm usually big turns require;
1. Sim tires
2. Throttle Control
3. Decent counter-steer


That's IF you're using FR cars

and IF you're using 4wd cars ie. R34 you'll have more control even with more throttle... but sims are a definite

yep...blasphemous indeed... keep in mind, longer drifts = hi speed , hi speed = low angle.

That depends. A drifter can grab lots of angle eventhough they are going fast in a corner. It is just the matter of keeping the oversteer constant so that the car does not regain traction again.
 
You could watch my video :p its in the new video thread. I drift a RX-7 around Midfield and thats the whole video.
Although my steering was alittle weird.
I use sims all around ;) and 508hp :D
 
On my FC I went all out turbo, and put normals in the back and sports in the front, they seem to really help, especiallywith that 480+hp. I use an AE86 rarely, they dont have great power but they can drift, I put all around normals on it. I'd say tho, for ur FC both sports will be better, because I notice I lose too much traction with the normals in the back, resulting in great spin out. I'd have to say... not to get off track, that my fav. drift car is... hmmm a.. uhhhh, FC or the S13 2000cc.

Never mix tires............ All it does it give you a false sense of the cars handling characteristics, and thus hinders your ability to drift the car to the fullest potential. Trust me, if you use the same tires all the way around, the car will be more stable, balanced, and easier to control..........

yes perfect logic. mixed tyre compounds means the front and rear of the car are loosing and regaining grip at different speeds/friction levels and thus unballencing the car.

if the rear is drifting at 65mph then the front would be better suited to have the same grip as to better match its speeds

alter the suspension toe and camber to achieve similar effects but using the same compounds in tyres and you will achieve smoother drifts:D

we will probably say this time and time again but, whatever, as long as someone takes a note or two:lol:

Exactly..........

Oh, hmm well it works for me, I'm pretty good at drifting so0, i guess the 2 different wheels settings are just workin fine for me, I'm sure what you guys are sayin is true but... thats just me. thnx tho, appriciate the comment, trying to help and all. But hey... every1 is different.

Well, if you want to limit your skill, then by all means continue to mix tires.......

I can drift with mixed tires, just fine, but it is not ideal. As stated previously, it causes the car to be unbalanced. Mixing tires is a crutch, and is usually used by beginners, who don't understand how to get the same result using tuning, instead of mixing tires. I'm just trying to help, by giving you factual information. What you do with it, is up to you................


;)
 
I used to mix tires and then I realized that it made the handling un-realistic.The first time I even thought of it was when 4WD drift came into question. And my point is....IDK I'll get back to you with the point
 
Oh.. well thanx, appriciate the advice. I really do, I get what your sayin, but I guess I'll just keep goin my way, I'm not sayin that ur advice really helps, it does... but I gues I'm just to hard headed and stubborn to do things other ppls way. I'll do it my way. THNX THO!!! really.
