use normal tires

try a RX7 with sims or try the e brake trick

 

[nitro_2003]

i want a car thats forgiving but easy to drift with tcs and asm off.

The Nissan Skyline 400R is a good drifter with its normal tires

If you want a car to start out though that you can buy from the dealership, then a Trueno would be good.

 

[FreewayDrifter]

if you have the c-west silvia its pretty easy just put on sims, turn off asm, set tcs to 1 and your good to go.

 

[bengee]

The easy way to start is on slicks with asm off and tcs on... This however will not be as difficult or rewarding as sims or slicks with tcs and asm off...

 

[tabs]

Yeah, don't worry too much about settings and all that when you're first starting out. Personally, I recommend getting a 180SX Fastback with sims and the sport suspension, turn TCS and ASM to 0 and you're good to go.

 

[Delphic Reason]

^^^^^^^ Good advice. When you get better at controling the car, you can start messing with different HP and tire combinations.

 

[nitro_2003]

damn its not ****ing working.

 

[bengee]

practice...

 

[shift2drift]

i agree... i dont think beginners can handle sims right away... it would just frustrate them and cause them to spin out most of the time... i strongly suggest using sports tires then using sims after a few days of practice depending on how much you improved.

 

[nk4e]

i was using sims back then when i was a beginner

Yip..

 

[akina_86]

try this ill give you some set ups and just do wat it says on it. oh but since you a beginner use a fully powered Skyline GT-R Vspec II with super soft slick or the Supra RZ also Full power. ill PM the set ups to you. oh and just tap the gas to get the feel.

I noticed in another thread that you type better English than this. Please try to keep up the grammar to a sense where people can understand. Thanks

And yes, practice is the key because everyone has their own individual way of drifting.
