Drift entrance techniques/form

[chiboy002]

dude, don't build a car without knowing how to drive. why does everyone do that?
the whole point of learning is to start out with the basics, if you start with a well set up car then you will only always be rely on similar set ups to be able to do good.

if you start with a "hard to drift" car then you can get better even with these handicaps, and when they aren't there you'll be so much better.


as well as, my first alignment was a factory-spec alignment, idk how good it was but it was fine for learning

As much as I agree with this statement, it probably isn't the easiest thing to drift a car with post-slammed alignment without any correction. He should at least have his car set up in a half way decent matter before he goes and blows 200 bucks at a drift event for tires and entry fee.

im saying, when i got my car aligned i just had them set it to factory-spec, not some crazy gimme -X camber and Xtoe and Xcaster.

I'm just saying if he's done any suspension mods to his car its proly no where near even being in factory spec.

i think you misunderstood what i initially said

what i was saying is
he should get an alignment before he starts trying to really learn

even if his alignment is set back to factory spec, its still better than a janky ass alignment.

of course, if he's touched the suspension then his alignment isn't set anymore, so he should get one. theyre pretty cheap if you go to most shops, specialty ones run more. highest i've paid was 110, cause i was stupid

By building i didn't mean modifying the car. My coupe is a shell lol So yeah in my case i'd have to build it before I can wreck it haha I'll just align my car to factory specs when it's up and running.
