sooooooooo i need some help gais.
basic run down of my car mods so far:
DF motor mounts
cusco cf rear strut
aem intake
hks hi power exhaust
q45 front brakes
misc poly urethane bushing
kaaz 2 way lsd
stock suspension
stock ka24de engine
basically, with my new 2 way, im having problem breaking traction and locking up my diff. ive used multiple drift techniques. or atleast attempted to.
e brake- it works, and i can drift with it, but i dont like how unpredictable it is. sometimes it slides me out too much. and while i know that that is also partially my lack of skill with it, i just down right dont like how unpredictable it is.
clutch kick- works fine as well. however, im trying not to beat the shit out of my clutch too much if its avoidable. also recently, i seem to be having a problem with over gassing the car right after clutch kicking, making my angle too much and shortening my drift. in this case, i think i just need to maybe countersteer a little more to make up for the extra gas at the beginning of the drift.
i seem to naturally countersteer tho. whenever i do it, it sorta just happens. i dont think about it when i do it, so its hard to remember to countersteer more. again, this will just take some practice to get right, but like i said i would like to avoid beating up the clutch if possible.
power over: idk if its due to my shitty stock suspension (obviously due to weak ass motor tho), but i cant seem to power through a turn and enter a drift doing so. it just ends up resulting in understeer
feint: pretty much same as power over. idk if im just not feinting hard enough, but i just cant break it loose doing this.
braking drift: my first (kinda) attempt was gunna be tnite....but i ended up heel toe-ing before the turn started. my reflexes took over and i instinctively down shifted before the turn started lol. ive been heel toeing every turn for the past 10k+ miles in my car, so it is kind of just an automatic thing for me i guess.
again this will just take more practice and mental preparation as with other techniques.
i guess what im asking is... is there a way for me to fix any of the problems ive given above with my current set up? is there a way to make powering through a drift or feinting work without causing understeer?
and with the clutch kick technique, should i just focus on thinking about countersteering more after initiating? or should i lighten up on the throttle when initiating? i just feels like i wont lose grip if i dont push it hard enough.
im starting to feel like im being caged and restricted by my car...
it started a few months ago, and thats when i realized i had to get rid of the shitty open diff, and get a 2 way.
now that i have a 2 way, im starting to feel the cars power being too weak for me, and the suspension is too sloppy/loose. im going to start saving for my coils soon, i just have a little bit of other shit i have to take care of first. its hard to build a car with quality parts when ur only a pizza delivery driver lol. but im being patient and saving up slowly for each part i buy. and i hope that it will all pay off when its all said and done.
thanks for reading my essay and please help if u can
