Drift Tuning

Hey No Problem. Somethings are not exactly right, but it gives you a right idea. Thanks!

Ya, been doing some adjustments to my spring rates mostly. But it got me in the right direction

As fas as ARB's, you have to tune them for what ever you having trouble with. It works jst like springs rates do. If you have understeer soften the front, stiffen the rear. If you having excessive oversteer harden the front and soften the rear.

I have noticed that toe out up front will give you smoother steering through the wheel plus slow you down, and toe in out back gives the car straight line stability and more grip when coming out of a drift.

Thanks bro!

Thanks again! We need to slide again soon! 👍

Also running excessive amounts toe out in the front will cause the car to be extremely slow but extremely smooth.

hey eric im liking what youve said so far, i sort of use the "Gypsy" tune as stated but its my own if you know what i mean. i suppose i use it as a guide line. as for camber and toe ive been told by a few people who are in the top 10 on the online drift events they use anywhere from 5-8.1 camber for front 0.5 - 1.0 on the rear the toe ive been told to use anywhere from -0.10 to -0.50 if your running loads of camber at the front to help it turn. as for the rear toe they either set it to 0.00 - +0.20. as you mentioned for LSD i dont really agree i use different settings for different cars, i start off with 5 for "IT" the 60 for "AS" and put the "BS" at either 10 - 20.

a typical set up for me is:
Suspension and camber
-10 -8
13.5 12.5
6 6
6 6
1 3

8.1 0.5
-0.25 0.00

LSD

IT 15
AS 47
BS 16

as for the tranny i use either the close 5 speed or 6 speed

I normally have full DF on the front if it lets me and i set the rear to as low as possible or maybe even 3-5 clicks up from low depending on the car

hope this helps

Ps. I usually only ever drift a Amuse S2000 GT1 or a BMW CSL or the 86GT

Engine-None of these parts will affect the handling of your car, and are not required.​

Intake System- None of these parts will help or affect the handling of your car.​

Exhaust-Like Engine and Intake System none of the parts in the Exhaust will affect the handling of your car, but It can affect how your car sounds. If you want your car to sound good click the link highlighted in the text and you can then put that exhaust on your car.​

It's true that those parts are not affect the car's handling in a direct way, but they change the amount of power and (more important) torque. The exhaust also affects directly the torque rpm's.

Personally i can drift better with cars, which have a low torque rpm, cause they are smoother in the way their power "unfolds".

And if you change the parts for the engine/intake/exhaust, you change the amount of horsepower/torque of the car, which results in more speed, more weight transfer and more wheel spin. If you improve the power, you also have to adjust the setup of the car. So changes of these parts indirectly affects the handling, which shouldn't be ignored.
