Hello, i am Kruno from Croatia,as you see from my nick i love a112 abarth heh but its FF car.I started to drift in GT4 few days ago,started with toyota corolla levin gt apex or famos "hachi roku".I have 4 of them.One shigeno ver. without any NA turbo or superchared mods, levin with turbo,another trueno with supercharger and levin NA tuned!I like most the Turbo versions and i am gonna write a few specs about it.I mainly use feint, power-over and lift-off technique,i have based my drifting expirience on power-over.I was playing GT series for a lot,but recently discovered drifting that is the best car controling skill.

Toyota Corolla Levin Gt-apex specs:

Racing exhaust and air filter
Racing brakes kit
Brake ballance controller
Racing Chip
Racing Flywheel
2-way LSD
Carbon Driveshaft
Original Turbine Kit
Fully Customisable Suspension
N1 Tires
Weight Reduction Lvl 2

I use my own setup,that serves me well!
I hope that you will accept me as the fresh drifter that is ready to learn!
So long and goodbye!
 
Welcome to GTP...

We're always happy to meet new aspiring drifters, that are willing to learn...

Take some time to read the stickies (at the top of this forum), and if you have any questions use the search function... A lot of new questions have been asked many times before, so the search function can be very useful...

Have fun and enjoy your stay...





;)
 
I have readed the stickies,they helped me allot,also downloaded a few videos!
Main part for me was the setup,i was making my setup upon the s.shigeno version that someone posted on some other forum,i simply mod it a little and i`m happy with my results.I already applied for photo shooting and i have one good pic in high speed ring drift with my levin.High speed ring is cool for fast drifting,but i preffer Trial Mountain,i tried suzuka wet,its also interestring.
Thx for the welcome!
 
Also my levin have 850kg and 225HP its the perfect ratio if you ask me,no more HP neccesary on this car!
 
Welcome!
I use a levin with 200bhp, and a 925kg weight. To be honest it dosen't need that much power. If it's lighter you might have trouble with sustaining drifts, and 'cos it weighs so little you don't really need more than 170bhp.
 
I love that car,its like baby loves the milk bottle :)
It`s fun to play with and its going sideways like nuts!
 
Hey,,, Sup guys .,. I'm a New Drifter too ... Hope you guys welcome me
I'm here to learn :sly:
Hope to get better control out of the car ..

You're the one who suck .. not the car setting
this is what I keep telling myself

+ Would be cool to see you evolve and help us find some settings for unusual cars and contribute to the new members too. We can learn from you too:tup::)
 
Welcome to GTP and the whole drifting scene. As I see you use your own setups, so you've passed the basics of drifting. That's good! As my mate said, we can learn from you! Making your own setups is good, please post them, so we can test them out!
 
For Corolla i use the stiffest setup mostly,btw change the title of thread to this+few pics and setups.

Here`s the setup of Corolla:

N1 Tires
Brake Balance: F8 R18
Spring Rate: F2.4 R2.7
Ride Height: F99 R99
Damper(bounce): F10 R1
Damper(rebound): F10 R10
Camber Angle: F2.5 R1.5
Toe Angle: F0 R2
Stabiliser: F1 R1
No Driving Aids
2 way LSD
I didnt touched the weight ballance


Thats about it,if some things can be better correct me!
With this 225HP and 850KG, my time on Trial Mountain is 1:57 all in drift,well im drifting just 2 days for now!I think that can be better,tell me your time if you can!
 
Drifting only for 2 days? When I drifted for 2 days I spun out real quick, nice to hear that you can do a whole lap!
 
Thx to hear it Neocrox,i think that real life expirience helped me.I`m 14 years old but my whole family is car addicted :).My brother car is `73 Opel Kaddet C,2000ccm engine,140HP and 800KG,FR.I drive a lot with him in his car.He loves to drift the curves around my home area.I have drifted twice in real life.Once i drifted a old yellow Zastava 750 (simmilar to Fiat 850) RR car,750ccm and around 30HP,around 500KG and my brother putted the 185/60-13" tires on it:crazy: !I drifted the curve on the parking lot next to my house.My other drift(ass drag) was in my father`s Fiat Uno 1200ccm,60HP,FF around 800KG on snow surface.I used the handbrake to make the snake moves.And the final curve was the enter to a friends yard,the 90 degree curve with the handbrake pass,but with speed approximatly 30 KM/H:) .I drifted a few racing games,but mostly trashy games,NFS underground 1,2 but i recently discovered GT4 drifting.
 
I drive my fathers car often,but i dont drift often,im saving up some money to buy a hachi roku,but thats very rare car in Croatia!Im willing to buy any car that have FR,but i preffer a hachi!
 
Did you tried the setup,i borrowed video-in card from my friend,i`m gonna post links of my drift videos when i make them!
 
I cant watch vids good anymore, the WMP on my mac has probs and my normal PC cant handle any videos EXCEPT for video.google.com dont ask me why it's a real issue...
 
Thx,GT i`m gonna post some other pics and video soon,maybe today and maybe tommorow,i need to upload it!
 
I posted my begginer video in GT4 Drifting Videos forum,check it out,its not verry good,but i`m working on my skills,its school time,so i dont have full time to drift!See ya!
