Fair dinkum. Fiat sideways never would of thought it was possible. Very nice work my friend. You low HP Guru's are quite the talented.
Shame to hear about your equipment that had to be left behind. GT5 is on the Arrival for PS3, so never fear
Thanks! I still have the PS2 though. So I'm relearning to drift using the DS2. It's so much easier shifting gears on the DFP.
noobie 4 ever
that car is bone stock right????
Nope. I posted the settings on the
drift settings thread a few months back. It's got about 81 HP when I first tuned it. But it's down to 79 due to too much redlining.

Nice vid, whats the song?
The song's "The distance" by Cake. I thought it was appropriate for the theme. 👍

People, don't hijack his thread with questions about tuning your car which has nothing to do with his video. It's immature and stupid. Start your own thread, or use the search function. You'll get more help there.
Back on topic, great vid. You did a great job keeping it sideways through the turns, although I noticed what looked like you cutting the video out right before you spun out a few times. I may be wrong but that's certainly what it looked like.
Also, do I sense a sped-up video?
Haha! Yeah I spun out once on the clubman stage. I think it was on the second drift. I posted it because I thought the angle was cool. You'll see it snap back a bit at the end of the turn. Sped-up video, no. I was on 4th gear at 120 kph on most of the drifts like on the trial mountain hairpin, so it's just as fast as most high hp cars when drifting. Problem with the Fiat is when it's on a tight hairpin or on linked curves, it loses most of the momentum and doesn't have much power to break the wheels free and continue drifting even after adding Nos. I think I still have a vid of how slow it is on the Infineon hairpin. I didn't think the linked clubman corners on my replays were good enough as the car really struggled on the last corner, so I didn't include those.
Mr M
to me it only looks like everyone drifts with high power but this video has proven
me wrong. this video is very good but i still havent got the hang of low hp drifting after my game be came corrupted . but i always think people should learn on low hp because its not like you have the money to start at 450hp in real life in a fd.
I'm drifting the skylines now but I did learn from the Fiat, and I can recommend that people who have issues with snap-back and counter-steer try learning from the low HP cars. Just not on the Midget though... haha! I think 80-100 hp oughtta do the trick.
Which brings up a question... how low (in terms of HP) can someone go? nightkids4ever mentioned the Cappucino, 63HP. I can't for the life of me get it to drift well. Anyone got any tips for those?
I saw a vid with a Classic Beetle drifting... I think I'll try that out, or the Karmann Ghia (you can see a preference for RRs here....)
