Gday to everyone here!

First things first, im an Aussie male(24) and i have just completed watching the entire series of InitialD (stage1, 2, 3 +extras)
It has made me soo addicted to drifting that i went and bought a steering wheel for ma ps2 and gt3. (MadCatz MC2 ps2/xbox/gc compatible).

Anyways, i stumbled onto this forum, and have thoroughly read through most of the FAQ's, the drift guides, and watched the "DriftBible" video.
I have to say im bloody impressed with ya vids!

Im trying my hardest to learn to drift and after 2 days of getting used to the wheel and how the games plays, ive managed to succesfully drift the first corner of Apricot Hill without spinning out.
i used the "Hachi Roku" or "Sprinter Trueno" boosted to 369hp and with the settings mentioned here:
http://pergatory.net/gt3/settings.html#180

So i guess this is basically just a big hello, and a thanks for all the "newb" prehelp you guys have written/video'd. It helped a lot.

and now...
..back to drifting :)
 
well mate.. welcome to GTPlanet... Like a good trained nooby.. you followed the right road by first reading the FAQS and watching the vids - glad to see that all the hard work that was put into it by the members is not invain..

"sucked foot" ?? not sure i get you.

of course it's not a real addiction - if i need to give it a rest for a while (lack of money, whatever) i will... but i love it to death and will play at any possible opportunity.

heheh ok i get u.... no, i pay my own way.
 
Initial D made me go out and buy a PS2...

welcome mate, I'd like to give you one tip....

tune the hp of the Trueno down. You'll get used to drifting quicker when you don't spinout everytime.

this is true, although i have a hard time having too much HP on the trueno (in GT3).. i find i can't get the power out of it that i want!
 
My trueno(no setting changes besides ASM and TCS) has everything and a turbo stage 2... Its awesome on the rally courses(thats all I'm playing right now)... very level playing field with the computer.

Don't know about street trueno... I don't feel like doing street right now.. just rally.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
Battke_stage, sorry toi say but your vid links are borked :(

Just a quick question. Are all you guys like shadow drifter and actually drift/race in real life, or just a ps2 drifta? (our road rules are so strict over here, we have no where to do it for real, so we stuck to gokarts and ps2 :( )
 
I just turned 16 and don't even have a permit...

but, I live in Las Vegas so when I do get a license and a car, I can go to some drift shows/competitions...
