Drift entrance techniques/form

[One_love_silvia]

so i remembered that the guy who i bought my diff from said he put friction modifier in it. and since that makes the diff lock less aggressively, does that mean that once i change the fluid, it will lock easier and i wont need to try as hard to lock it? lol

i know the low hp of the ka is still in play, but im just wondering if it will get easier once i change diff fluid.

... You haven't been reading. People drift fine with stock KA's even with 18's. It's not the car, diff, parts, etc. It's just you.

on another note, friction modifiers are used as an additive for regular gear oil to make it LSD compatible. Do you have an LSD? Assuming you do, it's just you.

according to the multiple posts ive read, people use friction modifier to simply stop diff clunking.

yes i have a 2 way. but i also have a basically stock car. fully stock suspension. go a page back if u want to know whats on my car.

and while i know i havent mastered it, i can assure u, its partly the car. i can lock the diff up fine if i ebrake, clutch kick, or power through it. im just having a hard time locking it up on brake drifting. even when going like 35-40 through a 90 degree turn. im not gunna state where its at, but lets just say theres little room for mistake or il crash, so im a little reluctant to go in full blast through the turn.

why are you brake drifting at 35-40? You have to go faster. Everyone I know hit's the corner 60+ for brake drifting. Just don't do it. Do other stuff.

"the corner"

What corner?

There is no set speed for drifting.

Telling someone that they need to go X speed at an unknown location/surface is a horrible idea.

no for the specific technique that he is trying to do. brake drifting at that slow of speeds would just stop the car no?

By corner I meant whatever thing he's drifting around

Not necessarily -- it depends on other things, like alignment setting, tire quality, surface condition, and the corner itself...
