i spun every turn of the day except the second turn in this video.... if i tried to countersteer any sooner it would pull strait out of the drift and start understeering like in turn 2. if i tried to maintain it i would just spin.

i was hoping to get some pointers from the pros.

what setup are you running? diff, coilovers, ect?

mooreofit · Post by **mooreofit** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 8:08 pm

welded diff, t3 coilovers on the front with 275# springs with tokico adjustibles.

on the rear stock struts and some blue springs we got from made in the 80's

p.s. this is my little brothers car.

yep, i was hoping to get some pointers though. i know will should have his car ready before the nst event and brad owes me a ride along, but im pretty sure the car is too "sensative" and needs help.more power couldnt hurt too.

mooreofit · Post by **mooreofit** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 8:19 am

stock everything else except very minor engine stuff.

adding an adj lat bar will make a big diff in the way the car reacts. it gets rid of alot of the side to side slop that keeps you from getting the rear end out, and the rebound that causes you to spin out. add a 4-link also and it makes a big diff in the way the car feels and reacts to your inputs.

oh, and are you using a the stock seatbelt or a harness? moving around alot in the seat can affect your driving as well.

yes i have the stock seats and seatblets also but most of all i think its the driver because i didnt have that much trouble. i think he is just not use to driving my car because it is kind of getto

i went though that too, and my alignment had a lot to do with it. what is your alighnment set at right now?

Post by **CBR_TOY** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 3:01 am

your setup should be fine to continue learning on....

i learned with a welded and shit suspension and it taught me the basics.

learn with what ya got then upgrade in my opinion

thanks guys for you advice its greatly appreciated. theres no doubt that i need more practice. but theres no real places to go around our house where i can get up the speed to do fast sweepers. low speed stuf i can do alright on but the high speed stuff is what gets me.

the allignment is probably all sorts of off we havnt checked it since he got it.
good news is i have have an allignment rack at work. bad news is it wont go up the ramps without scraping the crimprail.
