good drifting cars...

does somebody have specs for drift cars?

does somebody have specs for drift cars?


what do you mean by specs?

settings i mean.

alrighty, easy thing to do start any car off as a drifter. remove driving aids (tsc and asm). then you gotta do the trial and error thing find the best set up for the car you want.

i have my sw20(mr-2 g-limited) set to
spring rate 9.4 front and 10.2 rear
then the rear sway bar set to 6 front stays the same.
set the brakes so the rear are higher(allows for better breaking drift)
tight gears around
leave the limited slip
no driving aids

this makes a slide happy car. be warned you don't need to brake as hard. but you will spin alot till you get the hang of it.

hope this helps. if not post again i will try to word it all a little better for you.

first rule i would say on this forum is dont ask for setups for drifting, make your own, expeirment with the setups, and find one that works for you, so far i have seen a bunch of people on this forum tell people that want to start drifting a bunch of different setups, so just make your own, according to your skill, thats how i did it, and i drift great now.

Yeah same here, I tried the whole "tried and true" AE86 setup, and could not hold onto the thing worth anything. Then I just on a whim decided to do an RX8 drift car, and on my first time I set it up perfect for my style. Drift in/power out kinda driving. Its easy to control, and if your careful with it, it can be driven like any other car, albeit it a bit more tail-happy. You really gotta find a platform your comfortable with and just kinda play with it.

here kitty kitty kitty!

yea i think just making your own setup worrks best

gigglesnirt right! We all have to learn and discover on our own. That's how I learned. The settings are'nt that hard at all if your very logical and very good at physics.

if u want a good drifting car try the treuno sprinter in Toyota get max hp in it and change the stuff around and u will be GOLDEN

thats right! for to long people have disrespected the giggle, but now, it is time for the giggle to rise above all others, and defeat!

It took my friend and I an hour to set up an AE86 for drifting. Took me 5 minutes to setup my RX-8, it makes all of its power in the perfect place for drifting. Its still NA, at about 400hp, its the perfect drift car, well for me at least.

this game is cool bc it takes tons of practice skills and tuning to actually drift right. i recently started playing again, ive had the game 2 yrs, so i been screwing around with drift cars. just use common sense, and test and tune till u get it right. one peice of advice i can give is definintly tune the lsd and torque distribution and crap like that, it really helps.
and max power isnt always the best. a lot of my good drift only cars in there dont have maxed out power.
and i hope to god i dont have to remind anyone u need to drive manual...

well for me i've been using a Skyline V-spec II (R32) with the HP at 402 and stock suspension, super soft tires and a fully deckt out tranny, with no Limited Slip Dif. for the AE86, i have no clue what the settings are exactly, but it has 384 HP and it actually handels really well, the only way to get it to drift is to mash the brakes and turn really hard, then it kinda just stays at that angle. i think i might change some of the settings on my Skyline and see what it does. i think giving it less body roll would help some, but Trial Mountian is so fun when i hit that hard left u-turn. i'm in 4th gear, slam on the brakes, shift to second and gun it, and perform a very smooth drift. but, i think the rear end could use a bit more tourqe so i'm gonna put in a VDC i think it is, to adjust the front and rear tourqe percentage thingy

/\ wut you just explained with what you do with your trueno sounds more like a powerslide, and btw all my cars are fully tuned out, nomatter what drift car it is, its just how i do things, some cars can get a little tricky when fully tuned though, like the 427

ya, well i should actually change that statment, i haven't driven my AE86 in a while, but after yesterday i realized i could get it to slide without touching the brakes. it was very mild before, (i have 2 AE86's) but the good one, is actually very tricky to drive. if your not careful, making the simplest turn can lead to a spinout. my R34, now has 500 hp and slicker tires, and more camber, so it's a lot easier to drift with, but i'm getting myself in trouble on that hard left after the little hill on Trial Mountian. since all the weight is shifted forward, the car slides easily and if i don't control the throttle just right it gets to the point of no return and spins. what would really help is the GT-Force steering wheel and pedals, cause using the buttons really sucks

you can drift in any RWD car. Including the AWD cars, with any HP, as long as you have the technique in the game u can. I can. i can drift with any stock car that can drift in that game. there are lots of ways to drift in the game, but for me the easiest way to drift is go to settings and put the TCS at one and ASM at 0. This will work for any car IF you are good enough.

i was reading an article that was about the creator of gran turismo, and he said that the drifting in gt3 is not supposed to happen, and the physics creators called it something like a miracle, but anyway, in gt3 the drifting is'nt totally real, it doens't have the true handling that a real car would in drifting, but that'll be changing in gt4 according to the article, btw it was on wired or something i found it on the net

you could use a evo and add yaw control and take all of the assist off and supersoft tires, if you want to get use to sliding in turns, but i use a rx7 tuned to about 350hp all assist off and supersoft tires; and my settings, i belive everyone should experiment and find the setting good to them, .....................................fastes time in a trueno shigheno version stock at deep forest race way 2 is (1.19.95)

.........you could also do it with FF cars using hand brake but you loose speed in the turns!

locking up the rear wheels and not hitting the wall is not what I'd consider drifting...if you've ever seen tsuchiya drift you would never have said that...a rwd or awd drifting is impressive and awe inspiring...esp if its a mid engined car like the mr2 or nsx...

a civic dragging ass looks like shit...

Anyway...my favorites to drift are the gen2 and 3 rx7s...they seem to have the best balance...I don't like a lot of power and I never use a hugely moded car...

my setup is this:

parts
race suspension
sport brakes w/ brake controller
chip
port and polish
sport intake
lightened flywheel (not racing)
sport clutch (first or second one)
racing trans
2 way diff
sport tires / normal tires (F/R)

settings
TCS and ASC (whatever they are called, set to zero)
suspension softened a few points or left at stock levels (until you get used to the car)
weakened damper and rebound levels (a point or two, until you get used to drifting)
stabilizers weakened 1 level
front brakes raised 1 point stronger
tranny set so that the last line (gear six) hits the top right corner of the screen (makes it so you have to shift less)
some camber (usually only a little)
and .5-1.0 rear toe-out (too much and the car will only be good for drifitng as it will never drive straight unless you constantly correct it)

I keep the hp between 275 and 350 usually...most times a right around 300...this is enough to get the tires in the rear loose..but not enough where you depend solely on powering over (that's the easy way to do things)

I think that's about it...try faints, power-overs, and brake drifting before you try dynamic or e-brake drifting...the easiest is a combo of faint/power-over and a little tap of the brakes to upset the balance of the car before the turn...

lastly...never just press hard on the gas with a high hp car...that's gay drifting...you can do that with an indy car...control the x button and only give it enough to keep the car sideways using the steering to correct too much oversteer...too much understeer and add a slight bit of power...once you get it good you will be able to drive around corners barely using the steering and completely control the turn with the x-button...it's fun as hell...

have fun...and tell us what car you like best for drifting...the physics engine really lends itself well to this...

if you lock up your tires and hit the wall, means you suck and you cant contro a ff car in a critical situation, i can, i go into the turn handbrake for like .5 sec and countersteer and you should be fine, and yes the best cars to drift are the FC and FD (incase you dont know what the hell an FC is; :Rx7 inifini 3 FD:rx7 type rz/rs) :chair:

upps i forgot to mention its not called a drift, more of a powerslide

it is essy to make any car slide with out using the breakes...all it is.....humm the cutting part...some drifters can enters turn at any point....with proper thottal contral and breaking....the no return spins your talking about....can be avoided.....wut stlye of drifint are u using anyways??

what do you mean by what style?? like how i want to will want to drift?

watch some real drift videos or some of the better gt3-based drifter videos...they don't use ff because you can't do a huge drift, you can't even control the drift...in real life you can a little because the ebrake can be variable...in gt3 you just press the button, I don't use it much, but I'm pretty sure it's not analog.

On the complex string course I can maintain a drift for multiple turns without losing speed...let's see your ff do that shit...psuedo drifting is what ff dorifto is...

Fully hook up a motor sport elise, Best drifting car I've use. Anyone else semi-drift an f1 car? I can only do it for like 3 seconds until it straitens back out

No BS , i found out the best Car for drifting is the F90 H ! at 830HP ? also the Diablo GT ! with -1.5 teo in (rear)

front 2.5 or more camber & 1.6 rear or more / lever 7 to stablelizer bar /damper bound=8/rebound=6 / 0 TCS or some 1-3

200ZX
with 428Hp

once u hone it in it's great

Like i said a couple of months ago: its not drifting a FF is powersliding the M************!!!!
