so its a bit late but i just remembered i wanted to do this... basically i always watched the dday footage, autox footage etc... whether i understeer through the whole run or i spin out every where ive sersioly leanred alot by watching my videos...

basically i was just wondering what everyone;s technique was for that very first sweeper at OGP... i know it went left sweeper than right turn, then another left... and i noticed on the video... a shit load of cars spun out at that left turn... idk due to the dirt or just didnt swing the car right...

i noticed on the video that sometimes if u dont angle theh rear of the car enough when it kicks back it kicks back hard resulting in a spin out..

i was wondering, once u have lost traction in teh drift how can you angle out and swing the rear out more in order to keep the car from biting back real hard...

i tried cluch kicking but my spec 2 had about enough of it... hopefully the ACT set up will be able to help me with mid drift techniques, along with a faster reaction time...

 

ebrake my friend...ebrake...

 

i used to have that problem too, the car coming back around was pretty violent, however I;ve solved that. Notice sig and turbo . Now i just stab it and the tires are never gripping so its a nice smooth transition. Im gonna try using the ebrake mid slide and see what happens.

 

you can use ebrake to dampen the effects of a hard weight transfer, that works well. as far as increasing your angle once youve already lost traction, a clutch kick is what youre looking for.

 

I thought everyone spun out on the first turn at ogp becuase it was so big, and they held it for too long???

 

jonas, isn't your car a HICAS? i think that might have something to do with it. i drifted slashes HICAS and as long as you stayed at a certain speed/rpm it was alright but when the speed fluckuated and the Hicas went into a different mode it makes the car a completely uncontrollable POS. IMO i think the only wheels that should do anyof the steering are the fronts.

 

yes my car is hicas... i never really got an indepth review of your experience with sliding slash's car.... but if i recall, the enjuku car was hicas at dday2... maybe just have to learn with it ahhhhh!!

 

yeah, just a thought. in the rain i think it wouldn't be that bad but in the dry it could be causing you soem trouble. how much are the Hicas elimintaors?

 

Enjuku sells a Tomei unit for 170$

Here ya go

Im sure that could help

enjuku sells that electronic eliminator, ermm if i was going to eliminate the hicas i would go search for a non hicas subframe for the rear... ill get around to it heheh ...
