- Differential.
- Handbrake.
- Tyres.
What is a good tire pressure for drifting?
While drifting, your tires heat up causing the air inside them to expand, so you want your tires to hit 32PSI at max tempurature.
How stiff should drift suspension be?
Typically, you want to run a set of bars that’s about 20 to 50 percent stiffer in the front than the rear; adjustments typically make a 10 to 30 percent difference in overall roll stiffness, so you can really change the car’s feel through bar adjustments.
Is drifting hard to learn?
Starting the drift is relatively easy. However because this GT86 (and most road cars) don’t have too much power, we’re going to have to use more than just the throttle. Approach the corner with some speed, brake to transfer some weight to the front and away from the rear, and flick the steering to initiate the drift.
Is torque important in drifting?
The torque helps to make the car more flexible in the corners i.e pullin 3rd in a tight bend at 2000rpm, the torque will allow you to still drift and the bhp will the take over at the higher end of things to carry it on after the bend or during transition and make it look good like smoke and noise etc.
Should you stance a drift car?
We’d say so. Those who firmly believe that stance and style are important when it comes to a drift car are willing to fine-tune every setting until they achieve the perfect balance between the perfect ride height while still retaining the ability to throw down some epic lines at the track.
Is stiffer suspension better for drifting?
Race car stiff is out—for drifting, you want to use spring rates that are only a little stiffer than typical high-performance street coilover spring rates. For spring rate, you want to choose something that will give pretty good balance while not being too stiff.
