the z4 needs more power lol. It doesn't spin enough in my opinion....but i use comfort hard on all my drift cars 740hp sc300 an down lol guess im used to it
I think what Dude meant is when you attempt to downshift to 2nd or upshift to 3rd gear while mid-drift in a Z4 or E92, it gains grip and heads towards the apex or the opposite side depending on the wheel direction. For some reason both cars have slight transmission torque delay in the lower gears causing this to happen. (It doesn't happen to JDM cars with similar torque curve, which seems unfair in the game.) So what I do is just drift the whole corner on the current gear to avoid mid-drift gear change b/w 2nd & 3rd. The behavior can be minimized with proper LSD and/or rear camber tuning.

I'm half ashamed your sig could be wrong because of my "disease"
I'm away this week although might be online when playing on a friends PS3 but will be drifting again a good bit next week. Think I might have broke my finger last weekend so might not be able to drift as well as normal though.

Your "disease" is no match for my disability
... I was born with it you see. My blood type is M. XD Haha, and man that sounds rather sore. I've broke my arm twice, if it breaks again I won't have an arm, lol. I'll add you to my FL as well, when I decide to get back on the PS3...

Hahah, yeah...
Got 4... maybe 5 E30s myself and pretty much all projects in some shape or form.
Then messing around with the cars I posted pictures up of earlier in the thread... I wonder is there some prescription I should be getting to help the problem
Nice video too! SSRs and matte black is a great mix

Fancy giving me 1? XD I'm so attached to them, yet... I still don't one.. yet.
But that should change by sometime next year hopefully 
Thanks man, I love matte black paint.

had a few people in my drifting room this morning. quite enjoyable.
i most definitely like drifting tandem with another z4. not only do they look good, but its nice to have the same power/weight. makes for good photos. 👍

Oh, you think like me
I like that. Sure I'll buy it off you, and finish it :3 I plan on putting a 1JZ in mine when I'm financially stable. Slam it on some Rota Torque's, or SSRs.. I don't wanna go with the BBS RS trend... What year is your iS shell? Pre 89, or Post 89?tradethedead
I was in there yesterday morning. You weren't in your lobby so I left XD. But it'd be nice to get my Z4 along side yours.
