I think you are fine, course looks hard to get big speed in.
You want to drift faster, let out some air pressure and let the tires get more traction.
No real reason a SR needs 60 PSI
Thats what I run on AZINI 115's on 17's with a SOHC.

the reason i had 60 psi is because of how grippy the tires were compared to the 595 super steels i was running up front even though toyos were 1/32nd inch from their life, but ill try letting out some pressure and starting out further back to see if i could get some 3rd gear entrys

other than that you seem like you understand what you're doing. Drive the course harder, cause it looks like you should have been ale to link the whole thing.

yea ill have to try that i just set it to -5 because it looks cool haha, and thanks ill try to.

Dont feel insecure keep practicing and save up some doe for a turbo kit/swap

I read the thread i just wanted to see if there was anything that i could do better that wasnt obvious to me, and yeah i never been there but from what i see drifting is way bigger up there

drive harder.

ill try its just that the best initiation speed from what i could tell is in a magical torqeless range in my powerband in third gear thats y i dont really bother speeding up in the beggining and just drift in second.


Thanks guys ill put the advice to use next time i go to the track
and I apologize for the bandwith abuse

that makes perfect sense
i have seen so many people just pushing their cars through corners cause they just dont try this simple temperary solution.
