All the drift cars i seem to tune all have understeer issues. Really hard to initiate drift. iv played around with the front anit roll bar and it seems to be doing nothing.

Any sugestions

Fixed the problem now

To drift a car with understeer you need to get the car to rotate into the corner more. Feint the car more violently or use handbrake to initiate the drift. My drift cars naturally understeer as they have CH tyres on front so I have to get the car sideways in order to get the car through the corner at any type of speed.
 
Use someone else's tunes.

Its my own tune. Dont want to use someelses tunes.

I noticed it really bad today. drifting on a user created track. i was drifting behind someone and it toook ages to connect corners properly in my transcammer

There is a difference between using someone else's tune and using one that works to your style. If you're getting a lot of understeer then don't just change the front anti-roll bar - play around with everything until you get your desired result, i'd suggest looking at your camber and toe angles.

Why not? people put their tunes out there for this exact reason so people can drift just as well as everyone else cause not many people say it but your tune is everything it can make a huge improvement of be a huge disappointment trust me when I say to use some elses tunes because some people put days and days of work into single tunes to get them perfect for everyone else like for instance i've found this tune and almost everyone on my team uses it because it's so nice and smooth as if it was custom made for you like cheak out this tune and tell me it's not good and props to the redsuns guys cause this was an excellent setup

You need to check your car's setup out. Try stiffening the anti-roll bars up front and softening the rear suspension. Also, try shifting the weight of the car nearer to the front to have more oversteer.
 
If you want my honest opinion in this subject of cars understeer.... if you are a half decent driver/gamer on GT5 you'll use the understeer that your car has developed to to your advantage. Its exactly what I do do with a few of my drift cars.... if you don't know how to use this understeer to help you... clearly you don't know how to drive your drift car to the full of its ability.... I'm sorry if that offends people but I'm sick of people complaining on and off the game of their cars having excessive understeer..

I have fixed it now. My mate changed my roll bars so it would'nt drift. He messed my tunes.
