Alrighty, since i've been looking around the internet for people posting their drift tuned cars and their setups, I've noticed that there is not ONE thread with the Tuning for drift. So i decided to start one here. Let's get some serious setups here!
 
Currently, The best drift car i've found to use is the Toyota Supra from the team racing DLC.

Best Tracks: London Millennium, Tokyo, Miyatomi, and Road America

This car is a very advanced drift car. You have to know how to take a drift corner well in order for this setup to work well for you. A more intermediate car is the RX-7, which shall be my next tune setup.

Alrighty, now for a more intermediate car! The Mazda RX-7, Works Packaged, is a very maneuverable car, capable of getting almost completely sideways while still holding a drift. The car itself is not the rocket like a Toyota Supra or a BMW M3 E46, but is perfect at following drift lines and taking very sharp corners with a little coercion from the handbrake.

Best Tracks: Ebisu, Dakota, Autopolis, Tokyo, Spa, and Silverstone

This car is a very good car for someone just learning to drift. I recommend Tokyo as a good starting point, as it has almost every type of corner you will face on every map. The RX-7 will be considerably slower around the corners than say the Supra or the Silvia, but I've used this car online multiple times and have yet to lose with it. Good luck and happy drifting!

PS As i get time, I will be posting the best possible drift setups for every drift car in the game here!

The car setups I'm posting today are the BMW M3 E46 and the Nissan Silvia. Both are works packaged and are medium-high level drift cars, the Silvia being the more difficult of the two to handle properly. Expect these setups before the end of the day, and post if you have a tuning setup you'd like me to post specifically.
 
You have no idea how much of a hassle you just saved me as I can't tune for drifting to save my own life. :lol:

I can sponsor (would you listen to me...sponsor - who am I? :lol:), er, host your tunes in my RT thread and you'll get more eyes to your work, so to speak.

Dude, i would absolutely love that. I've been working on some of these cars for weeks, so i'm pretty proud to show them off, and it'd be great to get some more recognition! i appreciate the sponsorship greatly!

Awesome. Check the first and last pages in my thread if you haven't already. :D
 
Oh, and for all posters, I will also be putting up a picture of each car in action, to better suit the theme of each car. Gotta do my babies justice, ya know! ;)
 
This is great news, I SUCK at drifting so any help is mucho appreciated, thanks 👍

Start with the RX-7 setup i posted, and go to quick race on Tokyo. do about 3 laps a round, and keep the throttle pinned for the most part. on the chicane, turn into the first right hard and tap the handbrake. as soon as you hit the clipping point, flip the wheel left and tap the handbrake again, and power out of the corner. the final corner can be master but you have to hit it at almost exactly the right speed and angle. this takes practice, and that i can't teach you. Keep experimenting, and ask if you have any questions.
 
This is great, I suck too at drifting, its because I have never been able to set my cars up good enough for drifting. I definitely give these tunes a go. 👍

Good on you T12 for posting these tunes in your RT thread so everyone can find them in the one stop tuning shop. :)
 
Here is the Drift tuning setup for the BMW M3 E46. This car is moderately advanced, but not impossible to drift. It's a very good transition car between the RX-7 and the Supra. I spent a good deal of time mastering this car, so the setup is as perfect as it gets.

Here is the Drift tuning for the Nissan Silvia. Yet again, I have created a monster of the drift tracks. However, the right hand drive of the car can confuse you if you're used to In Car Drifting. This is about as moderately advanced as the M3 is, but a little quicker off the line and faster through the corners. However, it does have a tendency to kick your ass if you are lazy or unfocused. Definitely for the more experienced drifter.

hey drift king, i have an idea for a tune for you.
you could try and make an entry level drift car for people that are learning.

you know something that is easy to drift and most important is not a total beast.

as i find that a standard car is not powerful enuf to perform good drifts with, but a fully or mostly upgraded car seems to be too powerful to get to grips with.

i am not sure if it can be done as i have no idea what it takes to make a good drift car just thought i would run it past you see what you think.
 
Just my preference here - I found the G35 and E46 were the easiest for me to grok drifting. If you have your wheel set to 900 degrees, it will help to either lower that, or turn up turning lock in options, or steering lock on the car. I found it very hard to find the right steering angles to use when I had such a large travel to search through. Once you get it by all means turn it back up, but until you understand what it wants from you it's quite hard to find.

I have just the car. i'll begin working on it tonight and have a tune set up for you tomorrow. I'll also start working on a G35 setup for our fellow poster above me. check back tomorrow evening for the tunes!

nice one m8 i tried the corolla last night not a bad car and i changed track form tokyo to london and i found it a little bit easier but not much :crazy:
 
Well, i've outdone myself, and have made 3 amazing new drift cars! two for more of the beginner crowd, and one that is ONLY for EXPERIENCED drivers! Have the tunes up within the hour!
 
Let's start out with my latest monster. This baby is a very good car with or without the tuning, as the default tuning makes for a very capable drift car as is. Without my tuning, it's more of a beginning-intermediate car. HOWEVER!!! If you're like me, you wanna get more bang for your buck. So i did. The result is a superpowered, highly maneuverable drifting machine, capable of destroying any opponent in your path. Like i said tho, this tuned beast is ONLY for experienced drivers, so beginners, start with the default tune or one of my next two cars to start with.

Here is a beginner car with a lot of potential to be truly mastered by someone who understands the fundamentals of drifting. I highly recommend using the handbrake for your cornering with this car, but remember to just barely tap it, only enough to get the car sideways. Also, remember to feather the throttle, not to just gun it.

This is the perfect beginning car, as it's not too powerful, and takes very short, precise corners. NOT ideal for long, round corners, try the BMW 135i for that. All in all, a very sturdy and reliable beginning car.

You guys are so bad a$$, i just can't seem to get the drift thang down. It' seems like it is easier for me to dift in a race when I am not trying to then it is when I puposely trying to drift.
 
Drift king you should start up a drift team for NFS Shift and start a thread with the team members...You could hold tryouts and the people trying out would have to get a certain score to be on the team...If you decide to do this add me my gamertag is S0UL MUNK3Y the "0" in SOUL is the number zero.
