Rear wheel drive is needed...

Try a Viper or something.

S15 Silvia with a tiny bit more power and 1.5 way LSD wound up nice and tight.

surely a 2 way would be better?

Either way FR layout always works for dori smile

ta,
I have tried maxxing the tyre pressures on the back wheels.
I had forgot about the lsd

I would prefer a car that can be drifted without using the e-brake as it means pressing A while hands on wheel.

I have been checking out vids on youtube.

Managed a drift of the whole lap bar the last corner of Maple Short last night. Did it in a Saleen 281 with full engine mods, a diff and 100% worn rear tires.

I have a couple of cars set up, A sccoby & The Sparco Evo.
Just max up everything to race spec, set the rear tyres to around 50psi, Stiffen up front springs, Lower the car to the floor & playaround with the gearbox untill you get the car slipping around. Dont forget to remove Traction & Stability Control as it makes it a lot easier.
I found RWD cars a bit to easy to loose & 4 wheel drifting is a bit easier to control

I find the AE86 a good little drifter but anything will drift with a dab of the hand brake, lolz

Indeed.



Class D AE86. Tweaked suspension, rear LSD, 135bhp. Will go sideways forever at the drop of a hat.

It's hugely easier to drift than the S15 D1 car that you win early on.

I can't believe the OP was using a FF vehicle for drifting! nuts

I found a Clio V6 with light engine mods was good fun, if a little snappy due to the mid-engine layout.

S15 Silvia, 2 way diff, top notch everything on the chassis, stiff at the back, softer at the front and decent power off you go!

Managed to drift a complete lap of the full Maple Valley circuit the other night without spinning or crashing, Including the huuuuuge first right hander, I was mighty proud! smile

Mr E and Dellage have the right idea smile


Front engine/RWD, LSD, enough power to wheelspin easily without being impossible to get traction, and a bit softer in the front than the back, and you should be away laughing. Mid-engine/RWD cars are a lot twitchier but you can still do it, front engine easier to start with though. 4wd cars - stiffen the rear suspension up a lot, adjust centre diff balance to the rear if you can, and give it plenty of power.


I also find adjusting brake bias further to the rear helps get the tail out under brakes for a nice sideways turn-in.

watch 'the drift bible'

apply to forza.

its about more than turning in then giving it max revs.

silvias lightly tweaked are a good starter car.

1.5 way or 1 way dif is handy when you're starting, as its a little more stable and predictable, and easier to adjust your line mid corner.
