Old school cars - setup help needed

[neil1280]

I like the old school drifters, but what ive noticed with some, and mostly the old cars is that you need to give the handbrake a good push rather than modern cars like the silvia and 350z you just turn in and throttle and it just lets go.

When i do get the drift going if i look behind i have one wheel still not gripping and smoking halfway up the straight.

And the modern FR cars when i get round a bend the usually the rear tyres go go bright red but mostly on old cars all four light up.

the 2 cars im working on at the minute is

Pontiac tempest - I get awesome drifts with this but i need to improve the straight line grip, CCrazy amounts of torque

CamaroZ28 69 - I though this one was going to be easy but i feels like the front just wants to straigten up. It needs a real good handbrake and if i do opposite lock it snaps in real quick

I have fiddled with the suspension with adjust toe and camber high and low and the dampers n stuff but nothing make much of an improvement,

If i put comfort soft on its easier... but there is basically no straight line grip and spin off much easier

I have been able to tune some others succesfully, like 62 Skyline sport coupe, art morrison corvette, Alpine a110, Triumph spitfire.

Does anyone know how to help the backend of the older cars and make them drift like modern cars? The muscle cars are getting the better of me

LSD settings need attention
if you're lighting up one wheel on power you need higher acceleration lockup.
and to assist turn-in, less deceleration lockup

also, what have you done re. weight reductions?
the old camaro is no doubt a pretty heavy unit in need of stiff bars and springs to control it's weight

The Camaro is indeed a very hard, heavy car to drift. Just mess abit with the Accel and De-accel LSD setups. The more accel, (Believe it or not) it will be easier to get into a drift. Since they rotate together, if one breaks traction, both will.

i thought the diff gave better traction through a corner and i thought that would be worse i figured it would be better with less traction.

But yeah thanks i put the diff on the camaro and i got 18000 and my highest score around autumn ring mini
