:banghead: all i hear is you all talking about "drifting". well here is a wake up call, its not a good drift session unless you can travel through the whole course without rear end traction. go to all the drift sites you want to but you will never be good unless you work on it all the time every time you play GT3. i use a dual shock controller and this setup ya'all should try it:

spring rate: front-5lb. rear-10lb.

all dampers at 8 all around

the camber needs to be "rear 0.6*" "front 1.1*"

and the stabilizers at 6, both of them.

then it gets hard kids, you need sim tires front and back.

set anything i did not mention to where ever it may need to be, tweak the settings.

the most annoying thing is there is no "good drift car" any car with rear wheel drive can do it its all about how well you can regulate the throttle so you are not bouncing off the rev limiter. try faint motion, braking, accel off, and inertial drift styles and dont get discouraged right away it takes low speed and careful button work but i have made laps with that set up that put the japanese to shame.

try these cars

any Mazda RX-7

R32 Skyline GTS-t

any Toyota Supra

there that could hold ya off for awile, try to tune the power to about 450-550hp with my setup and use the power to start the slide.

ps. some one please let me know how to upload my replay files to you all can see i am not just yanking your chain i can really drift really good.

pps. i do drift in real life too, its all bout tires and tie rods! :lol:

ppps. :mad: starting a "power slide" half way through a corner is not drift, whoever made the drift lap with the nsx at deep forest in the vid section needs to try my setup some time, you will get way better results.

shoot, i forgot to mention you shoult try these tracks: grand valley, apricot hill and deep forest with my setup.
 
Wow. Somebody's got quite the attitude. Bet you make new friends every day! I'll leave you regulars to deal with him.
 
sorry i sounded so angry i woke up to my dogs barking and its still no reason to take it out in ya'all, but i see so many people claiming you can drift but its a full s curve that counts not a weenie little slide out the end of a corner in mommy's volvo.

i am sure most of you understand


:rolleyes:

no its not. not everyone finds it as easy to drift as you seem to think. a power slide is the best way to start off, once you can rein a car in from that, you're doing well.

as for only a full s curve counting, what exactly do you mean by 'counting'? might be the most impressive but some people like myself drift in order to go faster than grip drive. in that case 4-wheel drift counts more and they aren't nearly as impressive.

i get burned every time i say something here, what are you peoples problems??!!:mad:

i thought i was gonna come in here and fit in but it seems that 6 years of following the GT series falls to nothing. i feel like i am an outcast trying to talk to you people, i do drift in real life, i am really good at it too, i have alotta skill, i am not trying to badmouth all of you that do use a volvo, dang, rock on turbo volvo drivers.

what i am trying to say is that the word drift seems to be a generalized term now, i always knew it as multiple corners wihtout rear end traction. but just a power slide is one of the many terms used for what everyone calls drift.

sorry if i offended anyone by my post but geeze, its so hard to find someone that is anywhere near initial d material or just good for that matter.

so if your just gonna bash my posts then stop posting

i feel like this when i try to fit in:banghead:

"COUNT" : for one to make a corner in a Drift multiple corners follow.


but just a "4 wheel drift" is driving to the absolute limits of your tires traction capabilitys, not drifting. so thats cleared up i hope.


for it to count as drift you have to have no traction for multiple corners


if you want me to define multiple then how about 3 or more??

anything else dippy?



my name is ben i live in wisconsin and drive a toyota rolla AE92 set up for drifting. yes its FWD. if you dont believe it then e-mail me and look into coming to see me in action.
 
thedriftgod, were you the one that made those videos in the GT3 video section? good job in there! ;)

i don't understand why yu think yur an outcast. everyone here is a member of a community, so someone who posts is not an outcast. the thing is though, people only can drift certain corners; they aren't hardcore drifters. yu gotta give them some credit for @ least trying. for hardcore drifters, they need to be able to accept the fact that many people tried to drift, but never succeed. also, yu noe lots of people hoo r good @ drifting, like Cudaman, X, Majiik, Race Idiot, and many more to come in the future.

btw, where'd they go? it seems like drifting died out since they left.
 
i am brand new to this forum, i have no idea who did video's in the vid section but i feel like i can do better, i just need to know how and where to get my vids on my computer.

as for beginners, all of you, read my lips, i dont hate you i am just looking for veteran drifters.

if your just starting, DONT GIVE UP, it took me all 3 gran turismo's to get where i am and 8 sets of tires to get good in real life. i buy tires for about $300 for a 4 set, thats 2400 in tires over 2 years. not counting mods and broken parts. so enjoy drifting, i dont know anyone that used to drift and post here but i am starting a DRIFT REVOLUTION in america. i guess i will start here.
 
w00ps, oh well :)

thedrfitgod, chk out the GT3 video section, and yu'll see what i mean. chk out those vids that the other thedriftgod made. he drifted whole laps around apricot hill speedway and deep forest. also, in my earlier posts, those were the best drifters that were in GTP until something happened. i dunno what.

neon_duke, where'd they go?

edit: actually, i'm going to make a drifting video. i just need to find which song would go with the drifts ^^

and thedriftgod, in order to make a video, yu need a TV Tuner Card and editing software like premiere. hope that helps :)
 
hey driftgod, since you clearly think you are very good, try out a game called "live for speed" its very hard, and close to impossible if you dont have a wheel, but should be adequate for your talents, if you are as good as you say you are. turn off the sound though, its abismal! :D

First of all don’t take this post as an attack of any kind I’m just trying to point out a few things and maybe give you some advice in how you should present your self here

Well, I don't think anyone has intentionally tried to burn you, but you do come off as being a little cocky. Remember no one knows you here, so if you just walk in and start saying that you are a great drifter and all the vids that you have seen aren’t that great. Well then it's a bit offensive, even if you didn’t mean it, and you will not get very much respect. Respect takes time, and that means a lot of helpful posts.

Say you were at an open house party and some guy comes in, that no one knows, and starts talking about how much money he makes and that he makes more money that every one at the party, what would you think about that guy?

It's the same thing here; you have to let people get to know you. And just for future reference no one anywhere likes to be told that they are not as good at something. If you want to get that point across the only thing you can do is post some replays people will watch them and they will decide if you are better then they are, and you wont have to tell them.

If you want people to respect you than provide help and answers when people ask for it.

Anyways I know you mean well and welcome to GTP :) . I do consider myself quite a good drifter (notice how I didn’t say I was better than you :) ). Check out my vid “Opposite_Lock” the link is in my sig, tell me what you think of it. If you are better than me so be it, but don't say it... Just provide helpful criticism wherever you can. Other videos that are very good (initial d quality) are "gran dorifto" you can find it on kazaa and "gran dorifto 2" which is in the video section here. If you want to make your own video you will need a video capture card to record the replays onto your computer. You can also use a sharkport but then only people with sharkports will be able to watch your replays.

Anyways I hope you didn’t take this post the wrong way.
:)
 
Hey, another Drift God! The last one, as I've seen on a couple of other message boards, is a bit cocky but has great drifting (check it in the aforementioned video section) and hybrid skills. I'm glad another drifter could come to this forum, I like to think we give everyone an equal opportunity in here but please don't just come in and make fun of us in the beginning, and we're not making fun of you if less than 4 people are criticizing you.

Everything else has been said, welcome to the forum! Oh yeah, I tried to use my dad's digital camera to make a few quick 30 sec. videos, I was wondering how i could change the format they are in. They are currently in MVI, and I'm testing the camera to see if I can upload it onto the computer in another, more compatible format
 
So drifting a single corner isn't drifting according to you? Hmmm in that respect i gotta disagree... drifting i think is getting sideways BEFORE the corner... oh and you don't need to be in a corner to be drifting.... you can drift on the straights too :)
