Default the official HALP! thread

okay, i know im not the only one on this forum that could a use a few pointers, so ill just throw this up for anyone that has questions that need to be answered...

if anyone saw my driving at cfrc last friday, theyd notice that i may need a ... few pointers. i did get a few great pointers from boxmod, thank you, but i have a few more questions.

1) when i slide at "home track", im used to sliding 90 to 180 degree turns, so i wait to countersteer for quite some time. on this long swooping corner, i know i should be countersteering quite a bit sooner, BUT how do i know i wont just understeer straight into the wall? i was told to start counter steering as soon as i clutch kick, but im not sure if this will allow me to oversteer around the corner, or just slide straight into the magnetic walls.

this is very hard to explain, i should probably start by explaining that i do not have a hand brake and am severly underpowered... not to mention my car just <3s spinning out.

2) this is my first welded diff, i have been sliding on an open dif for so long, that i still get that uncertanty that both wheels are spinning when i slide. im affraid that it is still acting like an open dif, how do you get out of a mindset like this?

should i stop sliding short 90 degree turns? where in the fuck can i find long swooping turns?

any other usefull tips would be very much appreciated. thank you.
