or am i mistaken that there is only one...

There should only be one japanese championship in Amateur League.

 

[halfracedrift]

but then is there another Japanese champ in pro?

ya the 22b is easy to drift...all I did was put less traction tyres in the rear and is worked fine. I held drifts a long ways like that. I almost drifted the entire Apricot Hill course with it.

 

[Joey D]

the WRX wagon is funny to see side ways as well.

 

[halfracedrift]

whoa.. dude
the whole of apricot hill..... ur good
and...
i'm not sure if ne one knows
but it seems that if u drift @ manaco w/ a high powered rear car, the 2nd gear is ur best friend

ok...
never seen one drift.. but sure, lol

I drift most rally cars...

it's what they do

in rally drift is a way of life

 

[halfracedrift]

787b drifter?? wow........

i'm so happy... i won a gillet vertigo race car, believe it or not, it makes a decent drift/gripper
it grips nice into the turn, drop a gear, and then drift the whole way..

I would have to say that my fave drifter has to be the corvette grand sport as it is easly controllable at high horsepowers *drools at the smokscreen he can lay down*

 

[Joey D]

god I can't drift it well...to much grip

 

[TingBoy]

put grippy tires in front and slick tires in da back

like Racing Mediums in da front and Sports in the back

 

[halfracedrift]

y grippy in front? so that u only do 2 wheel drift?

 

[TingBoy]

nah, to create the needed oversteer for streetracer's prob. Of course there are other ways but they didn't come to mind then

 

[halfracedrift]

but then like... should the front tires b hard... so that all the wheels loose traction?

 

[TingBoy]

umm, if u do dat, it'll create more understeer if ur front wheels are harder than ur rear ones. It might force you to use the power over technique to start the drift. You should either put the same tires all over or softer ones in the front.

 

[ving]

see ya point but slightly harder tires couldnt hurt on the front... might give it a try.....

oh thats right I am restarting

 

[TingBoy]

lol

 

[para22]

Drifting with all wheels is the sh... eerm thing... Anyway what's the deal with FWD drifting? Isn't it called "a... dragging" by the way?

 

[halfracedrift]

welll
see i tried both kinda.....
and like....... i set the front suspension 2 b reaaaal soft... so like when the car comes under braking... the front willl obey and turn like a lil doggie
and like... i create the needed oversteer.. then i balance it off with some pumping *sometimes* to finish the drift.... and if my drift is ending too early.... i ebrake it...

what what? FWD drifting? its hard!
they naturally slide already.. its just that they can't really *drift* unless u ebrake it

 

[ving]

sowwy but wtf is ebrake?

is that the handbrake? :/

 

[halfracedrift]

yes
ebrake is handbrake
its just called *emergency brake*

 

[ving]

oh, then thats some yankee name for it

 

[halfracedrift]

lol yankee
i'm not yankee though!
i just call w/e it calls it in the game..
although i am more familiar with the term handbrake rather than ebrake.. lol

 

[ving]

as am I.

for example: My brother refers to my GF as my handbrake

 

[halfracedrift]

o k.........
lets not go there now dude.. lol

edit: wait u mean GF as in ur grandfather or GF as in ur girlfriend
hha

 

[MilleniumHand]

personally, I drift on SS tires. I'm not big on sideways movement, I use drift to go faster

 

[halfracedrift]

you use drift 2 go faster.. eh?
well... ... lol
i guess you could.. on those reallly twisty tracks..... grip can't handle **** on those things... well IMO
if they do grip.. hehe... i jsut bump em.
