Here's a little clip from last week.
this was a fun little tight skid pad check it out

Really enjoyed reading alot of info on here alot to information to grasp along with stuff to try to improve.

To all you guys that use the e-brake, what rear pads do you use. I'm looking for something to get better bite and lock up quicker. I was looking into getting the project mu d1 rears. Any thoughts?

D1's are pricy, but there is nothing better if you want to straight up lock the rear wheels. I actually sold the set I had after one event because I had gotten so used to e-braking on regular pads, that switching to the D1's changed everything I had gotten accustomed to and threw me way off hahaha

I'm serious. You so much as think about touching the e-brake handle and the rear tires lock the fuck up.

[whyteboi]

That's the thing. I want them to lock quick but I'm not sure if I should drop the money on them or just get something else.

[lbs_ft]

see if you can find a gently used set on here if you aren't willing to drop the money on a new set

I know it's a noob question but who drifts with out power steering or is it just me.....

And don't get me wrong I plan I putting it back on when I find the parts/ junkyards

It's not entertaining to drift without on a 240. Corolla dudes run manual racks. Pretty common.

[KA240SX808]

Not a good idea.....

[whyteboi]

I'm a weaksause so I need powersteering.

[fckillerbee]

it's not even about being strong....it binds at full lock. when you cross "zero" it sticks. If you have shitty tires forget it.....

Anything slow sucks. If you are doing like 80mph drifts without dropping below 20mph...you are good.

i ran all of last season on and off track, and the year before, with napa pads on an s13. both calipers worked right and the cable was tight but it does the job

if it bites too hard then you can't use it as much since it will throw you off, i prefer something that slows the rear down rather than completely stopping it, thats pretty much all you need to brake traction

[di-devol]

^Same. I'm using the cheapest pads from Napa, no issues here. I've thought about a hydro, but I don't "need" it yet, this works fine for me.

Driving at a local track tomorrow, I'll take some in car footage.

[di-devol]

Couple runs with the new set-up. Blew the t2 gasket on the way to the track, made it more difficult, but being aggressive really really helped. With the turbo spooling correctly for the next event, I shouldn't have any problems with it at all.


You can hear the clutch slip up top, I'm still having issues with that. With the gasket blown, it felt like I was fighting the car a bit as well.

[zeebrah]

^^ maybe its just me but you need to chillax with your hands. initiate sooner and let it steer itself. or initiate sooner and give the wheel one throw and let it spin to lock and hold it there. looks like youre trying to have your hands on the wheel at all times thus somewhat slowing it down when spinning it. pretty good besides that and sick video. and track looks mad fun ^_^

[di-devol]

Yea lol, the combined complexity of the turbo gasket and a slipping clutch made it un- predictable. I was fighting the car. Thanks though!

[Tearlessj]

I move my hands all over the wheel. I don't really plan on changing it that much. It doesn't really hinder my driving that much. If it works for you than you don't have to change it.

That was pretty bad ass

[zeebrah]

damn that was legit. i still cringe when i see so much hand action haha. but ya if it works then fuck ya stick to it

[Tearlessj]

Thanks,

I'm going to try to cut down at the next event and see how it is. I can probably do a little less. It might have to do with me needing a bucket seat too. lol

[tscharf]

that video was pretty legit

i try not to move my hands much,.. cuz in weird situations you end up fumbling over yourself i feel like.

but everyones different. I think gittin still drives with one hand..?...lol

[zeebrah]

disregard music and lame editing haha..AND disregard its a slowass single cam that can hardly hold a decent size turn. and slipping clutch..hahah. yea its time for new everything . Anyways i *try* to not let my hands cross over as much as possible. at least for me i like this because if i need a correction my hands are already in place to fix...and yea agreed with conrad i feel like my hands are in the way of each other. But pointers appreciated

I can disregard everything but the angle of the camera, now my neck hurts lol. Looks good for a singlecam.

Looks good. Looks as if your caster settings are really low, or you are running shitty front tires.

Get yourself a good wheel...i don't know how you drive with it having those bumps all over the wheel...would drive me nuts. lol.

looks god. You def have that weight shifting down. Now all you need to do is perfect your line...but that's in time. Try doing some road racing..it helps.

haha muhhh bad.

hey so what do people do to scrub speed?..yet still have angle. like in a single cam i basically just go wot in a straight like and hit ebrake then back to wot. im afraid if i flick towards then away from the wall it wont have the power or speed to bring it back around...?

he does drive with one hand sparingly. I dont even think he realizes he still does it.

at the end, you found yourself correcting, and over correcting, a good front tire setup will help with that a lot.

that track looks fucking awesome to drive...is that the same track they have pro am at?

well i usually try to just hit the ghetto 'clipping zones' at that track which in my opinion are a terrible line haha. so what do you suggest...like a wider or more shallow line?
