I recently started drifting as well. So I am also a beginner. But from my last two events I've learned a lot.

I jst have a stock KA, BC Coils, Tein Tie rods, welded diff, bucket seat, nardi wheel.

Like everyone on here has mentioned. You need to practice a lot. In the beginning ur natural instincts will make you want to control the car.... Therefore, you punkout on smashing the gas or letting go of the wheel. However, u just need to relax n let the car do what you want it to do. Time your clutchkick with your weight shift n smash the gas, n let go of the wheel.....then catch it on counter...

Your setup sounds like you have more than enough power to slide it. I think its jst timing.

Best advice Ive gotten so far is "stop being a bitch, speed up n smash the gas" lolol. And so far thats helped a lot.

Stop driving like a little bitch is probably one of my favorite words of advice to give out. Generally if that person listens to that, they realize they drive better when they worry less.

I know this because my first year learning to drift I spent way to much energy in worrying about little shit and stuff like that, instead of just focusing on driving.

Because OEM VLSD's still tend to be unpredictable and don't always lock, or come unlocked mid drift. Welded or quality 1.5 or 2 way LSD is the way to go.

This may sound funny but it really did help me. Invest in a steering wheel setup for you playstation/xbox/pc. I got a Logitech G27 and got really good with it on Gran Turismo, went out to my very first event and was linking the entire course with my bone stock KA by the third run. I hadn't even gone out street drifting before that event. I recommend playing Live For Speed on PC as it's way more realistic.

get yourself a decent wheel alignment and learn to grip drive (puts flame suit on). when you no the point where your car will start to slide you can then start to initiate the car to slide. ass dragging and clutch kicking isnt drifting. using speed and clutch/ foot braking to get the car to shift weight to the front and get the car to step out is drifting.

Did u get a tune for 550cc injectors? I wonder if he's bogging out mid range and that may be why he seems to not have the power. His engine might be flooding before it can burn the extra fuel
