Ok here's the deal....
I was trying to make a nice, fun little drifting car for myself. So i took the initiative and started thinking.
When i got home i went to the used car lot (2) and found myself a semi-used japanese pocket rocket (it needs to look like a drifter too). So i ended up with a white Mazda RX-7 Type R Bathurst R (FD) '01
The car is great except i want some insane drifting action. Next thing i found myself at the the Tuner village buying from HKS, I put all the odds and ends on the car giving me; 561 hp and 447 ft. lbs of torque.
The car is FR and weighs 1071 kg.
I equiped all HKS upgrades except for the port polish, engine balancing, and nitro.
The tires remain stock, but i was thinking of putting some harder compound tires on to loose some grip.
After the car was completely rigged, i took it to the track.
There i decided i knew enough about cars now to go ahead and plan to tune it myself (WRONG).
I thought that too make a drifter all i needed was a light car, a lot of horsepower, and quick lower gear ratios.
That didnt seem to do it so i took of most of the TCS and all of the oversteer and understeer control. Now whenever i get into a drift and try to get out the car will violently swing to the other side and go into the wall at the most sesitive touch to the joy stick.
Ok so im guessing its about time to ask for some help.
Any advice, possibly settings that have worked for you, or you just now what to do with the car cause you work at Pep Boys or something.
Would be greatly apreciated.
Some pictures if it helps
At least it looks like its straight out of japan (you know you like the black rims)
