Technical Tips for drifters.
I just wanted to share some basic technical tips with you all.
Here are some things that I learned while drifting and from others....
Know if you are a brake drifter or power drifter.
Brake drifter (usually beginners)= people who use their rear brakes while drifting.
Tip for brake drifters. Get Z32 rear calipers because when you use em on 240s they tend to lock before front brakes, while you still have steering. If you do this you don’t have to worry about pulling E brakes and you can pay attention to other things.
Power drift (Pros)= People who use rear wheel power to drift around corners. (I really don’t have a tip for these guys because I think they need to teach me)
Tips for all.
1. About alignment, if you are serious about drifting get adjustable camber/ caster plates, because little neg. camber is very good for drifting.
2. Body roll is killer, so get rid of it. (Thicker sway bars, strut bars, better shocks, springs, control arms etc)
3. Get some spacers in front, its gives you better control while sliding. Like they say WIDER is BETTER
4. Light rear end is better, so take your heavy wing or speakers out. If you have ever driven a mid engine car then you know what I am talking about.
There is lot more stuff but these are basic things or mods you should consider if you are serious about drifting.
Please do write back.
Thanks,
JR

and you call me a wanna be drifter and you cant even power drift?
dude did i hit a nerve on the sr thing or what?
from what you just posted it seems to me that you are a "WANNA BE DRIFTER" seeing how you say that you cannot do all the drifting technics. these are all basic ideas in drifting. i was able to do 90% of the the technics posted by you in a matter of 24hrs.
i've been drifting for a couple years now so don't start crap with me on other threads about someone you have no idea about.

Drift is for low to mid end power car. And requires no mods to engine. and I am all about top end. Real racing stuff.
I Only Road Race at Mid Ohio track, drag and Top Speed.
Oh one more thing I graduated from Mid Ohio raceway. I can drift very well sir. My instructor recommended, those things that I listed above, I am sure he knows more than you about driving or drifting or setting up a car.
You guys make me laugh man.

Well, I did tried posting the Dyno sheet picture, but wasn't successful, It wont let me or may be its me doing something wrong. I am sure that's what it is, I am not a big fan computers or Internet.
So this is what I will do, I will email every single one of you, who wants to see SR the dyno sheet. I know how to email pictures. Maybe you can take it and post it.
So email me at JujharSgill@aol.com or just reply with your email add.
If you want to see my car in action I will be at Fresno, CA. Almont Raceway park this weekend if weather holds up.
