hey people. I just thought I'd ask the gtprofessionals a question or 2 about my drifting as of late. I started drifting in 2002 in gt3 and got pretty darn good, especially with the ease of gt3 power over methods. then came the low-power, simulation-tire crazy where any stock car on sims could slide. I finally got my dfp working but im really not that good on 900 degree mode and drifting is real hard with FR cars on the wheel. maybe im using too heavily tuned cars and should start with lower hp cars. But to the POINT my questions are these: #1. my dfp has nowhere to mount in the room where the ps2 is. its at a funny angle and i have no desk/table/stand so i drift at my friends whenever i get the chance. the wheel has actually pretty much just been at his place since i got it up and going. Is the investment of space and money worth it for a playseat??? #2. Also I've found that I'm almost as good as ill ever be on the ds2. Should i give up drifting on the dfp altogether? i mean to me the realism of the wheel is great but is it worth the time investment of basically re-learning the gran dorifto?!??!1/!!!111!?

Dont hesitate to post any thoughts, questions, or comments.

thanks for listening,

Just go to the wreckers and get an old car seat and then buy some wood to make a setup for the seat and wheel, doesn't have to look fancy and as long as everything is at the right height/position it will do exactly the same job as a fancy bought one.

Hey man read this thread. It should help

Look around in the forum. Also DON'T GIVE UP. The fact that it is hard just makes it that much more satisfying when you get it right.

Also get creative to find a place for the wheel. I have to turn my TV and had to move a old dinning room table into my bedroom to set up my wheel. But I'm sure you have a table sitting around somewhere that's just made for it.
 
Ok my improvement the last few days on 900d degree mode with the dfp has been due to simpler suspension and lsd setups and lower power, giving me more time throughout turns to act and react, also the replays are more realistic looking (not some crazy 4wd with negative angle at top speeds) and much more gratifying. My new question is this...with those of youthat are familiar with the dfp and 900 degree mode...how extreme does your steerging go? do you go lock to lock on every turn? do you try and stay within a certain range of degrees? Im pretty sure the pros dont have all 900 degrees on their cars, but im not them so that ideas out the window.

any dfp900 help is welcome and dare i say...encouraged???
