my rear tires spin freely :hsugh:

powersliding = n64/snes. drifting = gc and ds

 

I mean, giving it gas the right amount of gas to straighten you out as you finish the turn.

 

oh, no. I just go full throttle going in, throughout, and exiting a turn

 

Fixed

 

i pwn all u noobs

i invented drifting.... i put 3 cubans on a peace of wood and put them in the ocean

 

lmao. that is terrible!

 

But i can spell

 

I drift all the time

















in NFS

 

I drifted by making my car snap oversteer at the entry of a corner on purpose a couple times. I would basically brake as late as possible and as hard as possible, trying to shift as much weight forward as I could, hard hard threshold braking, the tires were very close to locking. Then as I was letting off the brake I would jerk the wheel hard into the corner to get the rear to snap, no flick, just right in. It is what would usually be too fast of a turn in and too late of braking to clear it normally. I had to stay off the gas after I turned in to let the rear get wide enough out to sustain it to the exit, lift throttle oversteer, the front would slide too but not as much as the rear, very slight angle. The front lost grip after the turn in and after the rear, I could tell for sure because the wheel was limp when I went to countersteer and give it gas at about the mid-point, it was a small angle compared to the back. But that's the trick, getting the rear to loose grip first and faster. I got back on the gas fast, but not instantaneuously about midway through and kept it down to the end while countersteering. Comes out nice and smooth if you unwind it right. It's a little too sketchy to try again, I don't really want to. h: I more or less did it to see if I had learned to control a snap oversteer situation by trying it in a situation where I was expecting it.

That's basically the only way I see to drift a FWD with any speed, I was hardly countersteering too, anymore angle and the car would've lost a ton of speed, another time I did it, I just had the wheel about dead center when I countersteered, no opposite lock carried more speed. Not to mention it would probably be impossible to recover if you tried a big angle, after all it is snap oversteer, the tricky part is making the rear snap without it coming out so fast it's unrecoverable. It's probably not as showy as a RWD in a full lock powerslide, but it is sliding, no e-brake either. It's more or less loosing control and recovering, the "drift" is just what I was using to scrub more speed to stay on my line since I turned in too fast, it's a recovery, you can't put down more power to sustain it, the only reason the rear kept sliding was because of the initial momentum from when I turned and the lift throttle action. Giving it gas to recover was more or less making it understeer, otherwise the rear would keep sliding as you stayed off the gas and you would spin. Once the front is powered, the rear starts to come back in, as long as the rear isn't too far gone. I've found it's impossible to do at lower speeds, you have to be going at least 50 when you try to start the drift. Anything lower and it won't snap hard enough, if at all, you'd probably need to use the e-brake, I've never tried it though. Although if you had the car set up to oversteer I'm sure you could do it slower and easier. I did it with bone stock suspension and normal inflation.

 

My CRX has as much traction as a hyper puppy on freshly waxed hardwood floors. I tapped my brakes, not even very hard last night and they locked up on me. Going around corners I can feel it slipping. Lame-o.
