i think i may be treating every turn like a 90 or 180. i seem to whip it hard and countersteer late. should i try a more gradual "just let the rear break traction instead of flick+clutch kick" approach? i know ill still need to clutch kick or hand break it, but should i stop trying to flick it so hard? like go for less angle?

i think i have an idea, go for less angle and just get around the corner, increasing angle with practice and comfidence...
ill give it a try i guess, but ill probably suck at first hahah, never driven a ae86 except in small donuts. see you the 22nd

E-Brake cables go for 50 shipped all day on Club4AG, that cant be more expensive then a hydro brake. If I could do it with open diff, stock suspension, and no e-brake; so can you. Enter really fast.

Rotary if you want to take a ride up to hernando i practice and teach noobs like my buddy chris on the dirt roads that i live on. you can come down here one day/night and ill take a ride with you and guide you through what you want/need to start doing. Starting on dirt really helped me and a couple of my friends, its like sliding in the rain, simple. Add me on facebook

My real name is Neil Stevens or you can look for my E-mail nihilism@musician.org.

Edit* Plus theres a nice big dirt road sweeper out here you can learn on for those bigger corners.

Flicking is an AWESOME way to enter for underpowered cars. Ask sean. I wouldnt stop flicking as much as i would try to just get better at flicking. I dont know about everyone else but when i flick i flick hard and clutch kick at the same time.
