you know when youve got the feeling of your car when you can go onto a busy round about in the rain and the back end comes out on you and instead of shitting yahself you smile and keep the car under control then wink at someone as you exit the round about :rofl: I do that rather alot tbh I so shouldnt but cant help it :funny:
thats sod all to do with the hicas,anyone that says it makes the rear end snappy doesnt know either how physics acts on a car or how the hicas system works,these cars are plenty driftable with hicas on
as daft as it sounds, the snappy ness of the back end is cause people bottle it. if conditions alow then you need more power and take it to the redline where the back will step back in, orrrr use power to get wheels and car facing the direction you want in a straight line and then lift off.
If you lift off mid drift the wheels stop spining, get traction then dig in which causes the back end to snap round and the fish tailing begins.
i drifted mine for ages with the hicas system fitted, ive got a complete removal kit fitted now and tbh i didnt notice a huge difference when skidding it.
not bad at all mate, in my oppinion youre better with the skyline over the bmw, i started drifting in a beema and it was awfull, the skyline is loads easyer to control, they can bite but once you get some practice and learn the car you wont worry about that, mine use to snap and get traction too quick on the exits but once my confidence got up i stoped this by just useing more power for the exits, which means more smoke and bigger brownie points this will be different for eveyone, everyone learns there own way of doing it so just keep with what you feal best with, all my mates use handbreak entry which i dont like, i prefer to downshift and just give it some welly, the back comes out so much smoother when i do that, when i get my new drifty wheels ill put a vid up, only a beginner aswell so dont expect 100mph drifts and backwards entrys yet lol
keep up the good work man and practice makes perfect
like it... you cant tell your more comfortable in the car now and getting some nice movement of the car, i think the best is when you come around the bottom left corner started before the corner, held it through and clean exit... now just more angle and :cheers:
cheers man! its just a case of realising that i prob will prang the car and then i get more confident! lol however i am hopefully gettin a BDC spec S14 in couple months and will hit it hard thn!
