Oh, and quit it with the intenet speak. You've only saving about 1/10th of a second by typing 'any1' instead of 'anyone'. When you signed up to these forums yesterday you agreed to communicate with the best english you can muster. Yours is not the worst that I've seen, but I'm sure you can do better.

I found the Iroc one of the easiest cars to get sideways and stay sideways for a loooong distance.
Mayber your settings are off?

Dont immediatly countersteer allll the way till you cant countersteer anymore.

Find the happy medium, you dont want to countersteer a specific way everytime, you have to adjust the countersteer inside the drift, for every drift, and during the drift your wheel will be moving back and forth a lot.

The reason you snap back and spin the other way is because of too much countersteer, try to find just the right amount of countersteer needed to keep the car sideways. You'll have to adjust this for every turn speed and angle. And even during the drift you'll be making steering adjustments, as well as throttle adjustments.

yea , you were right, it was because of me putting 2 much countersteer steer on.

thanks for the help btw .

ive just started drifting with a lexus gs300 v.e and that is well good and it only has 4 gears , so you have to the 3rd gear corners in 2nd and the 4th gear corners in 3rd

its so much easier!!

I dont mean to be rude but do you ever read what people say? Boundary Layer already pointed you to the search thread and dont say you have already searched because i know for a fact that there are quite a few Xlink set up threads.
