Drifting in GT3 -- HOW???

[Jesda]

I have a C5 Corvette Z06 and a stage II turbo Miata, and I cant figure out how to drift in either of them. I can certainly spin out or slide into a wall, but thats it! What ASM and TCS settings am I supposed to use?

[Silvia007]

ASM and TCS off completely, tune your suspension, that's the key to getting your car to want to slide sideways.

[VmaN!]

these settings may or may not work..it depends on how you drive it

Not sure which Miata you have but here:

go to the left side and select mazda from the car make dropdown menu

Jesda, do you sell every car you get? or are those the only rwd ones you have?

[D1SR240]

find some good tires that you like, and work with the gear ratios, brake setting and of course the suspension settings

[Jesda]

I've purchased only two cars so far. The first-gen Miata (371hp) and the Z06, which is stock for now.

[SHIFT_Z]

Buy a Trueno. Drifting beast.Cheap, too.

[nametakennow]

Anything RWD or AWD with decent power should work. Turn that ASM crap off (it should be anyway, I can't stand the way cars drive with it), and the TCS to between 0 and 2, depending on how much power you're making/experience level. Come in to the turn, flip the wheel/stick, dump it down a gear, and let fly with some countersteer... it's more complicated than that, but that's the gist.

If I could have vids of some of the crazy **** I've pulled in that game over the years... ooooeeee

Yea tis not easy but you can find drift settings for different cars.

I have plenty, but my MAIN drifter is the S13 Silvia.

[574-240sx]

Favorite car to drift in GT3 are type-x180sx, toyota chaser, and toyota altezza

[MinisterofDOOM]

The chaser is great in GT3, especially if you spend time playing with the suspension setup. You can really do some fun things in it.

Big turbocharged sedan drifting, the chaser is awsome

[jdmfreak]

yes it is.

my car of choice is the Razo Silvia... but I also use the 400R, S14 K's, Trueno, and Chaser...get rid of all that junk and make it a simulator, tune the suspention to your preference, (takes me about an hr to tune a car the right way) and use ur skills, its just like real life... even use the ebrake to control your angle

[jdmfreak]

The C-West Razo Silvia is a damn hard car to constantly drift. Damn thing just love to kick out the rear end with the right tires.

[AmoebAssassin]

Turn ASM and TCS completely off. I prefer to use racing tires, the slickest ones you can get. I usually dial in a ton of negative camber on the front as a starting point, about 8ish degrees as a starting point, and .5 of negative camber in the rear. Stiffen up the rear suspension and play with the camber angles and toe-ins until the car will naturally want to spin through corners. From there, its a matter of learning to catch the back end with countersteer and throttle, and carrying it through a turn. I like to use the handbrake to initiate a slide, its easier that way.

[StrangeLove]

Jesda, its all about throttle control. Go into a turn and when the rear starts to slide out, left off the gas and countersteer. Give it more gas to keep it sideways.

Its really easy to drift a stock s13 coupe. Just give it simuation tires and go at it.

Trial mountian is by far the best track to drift on

[Nismo_Freak]

I use a FD with a billion HP and no tires.

Pretty much the same stuff that makes the car go sideways in real life can apply to GT3. Sometimes you have to glorify the movements though.

[HIM12514]

My main drift car is an FD, but I've also got a Trueno, S13 coupe, 240 Fastback, S14, and an S15. I can pull off some crazy stuff in the FD the way i've got it set up. Just stiffen everything and you'll be good .

[Slappy]

here's the wat i learned to drift in GT3. take any FR platform, buy the fully costumized LSD, ASM-0, TCS-0(on low powerd cars) if the vehicle has more than 400hp, u might want to set it to 4. use sim tires all around.

if you want any of my setting's, just ask.

**note** before u set the car up for drift, try to make it grip as much as possible with fine tuning the suspension, super soft tires. once you 've got the car gripping, then slap some sim's on it and do what i listed above.

[StrangeLove]

What slappy said works well...

My best drift car is my 1000hp supra. Its tuned for racing, but I just lower the TCS a few numbers and I can out drift anything in it

[Megaseth]

i drift in my SiR EG.....

[Grip Gambler]

just set it up like a real car get a 180sx get put in a good 250hp put on full suspension give it 8/6 spring rates, 3 degrees camber front 2 rear, increase the sway bars to like level 5 , 2 way diff, sim tires and remove the asm and tcs adjust the front breaking to 18 leave the rear at 9. it should want to come out with braking and throttle control and use the analog knob instead of a button to contorl the gas its much more percise and easier to hold at smaller incriments

[Slappy]

are you the same grip gambler on the gtplenet or fourtendrift forum?
