Recently near the end of the rainy season I started to experiment with the handbrake, start in 3rd, put it in 2nd, keep the clutch in, rip the handbrake to initiate, then let the clutch out and continue my slide. In the rain this worked pretty well, and I was even able to connect a couple turns by my house by drifting the initial right hand turn, swinging the car back left, right, and then back left again to finish the left hand turn. Now when I try and do it in the dry I either straighten back out or spin during transition, I obviously give the car more power to compensate for it being dry out, but it seems like I can't find the balance between understeering and spinning. I was wondering if clutchkicking during a transition would help or anything like that. I'm currently on ebay coils so they're definitely not the best handling wise, and thought that maybe the in the dry they load more weight and thus when I transition there's more momentum.. I'm also running a stock KA w a header, exhuast and the usual 17 year-old kid mods, and I have 215/45/17's front and rear.. Thanks!
