- Grip vs. Drift - The How and Why to Understanding Slip Angle Dynamics
A drift is defined as the point at which the ENTIRE tire gains this slip effect and the car begins to rotate The more you break traction at this point, the greater the slip angle
- Suspension 101: Stiffer is Better? Text by TANABE U. S. A.
A stiff anti-roll bar will definately improve roll resistance, but may also upset a vehicle's handling balance if not done consistently throughout the vehicle - A stiffer front bar will cause initial understeer, while a stiffer rear bar will cause initial oversteer (explaining why some FF drift cars run without a front bar)
- how much Horsepower does a drift car really need?
How much do you really need cause i'm thinking about dropping a SR20DET into my car and all the upgrades i want to put on it would put it up to about 450 hp should i or shouldn't i?
- Choosing a Tire Wheel Size For Drifting? - DRIFTING. com
so when it comes to choosing rim and tire size for sideways party time, is it best to stay close to stock wheel and tire diameter? Will it make a difference at all?
- Should i get sway bars? - DRIFTING. com
Well, it depends, what is your S13 doing or not doing that you hope to cure by installing sway bars? Trust me when I say that big sway bars are not a replacement for stiffer springs or strut shocks
- steering angle - DRIFTING. com
I can see the benefit of having a few degrees extra steering angle to help get the car a tad more sideways than usual, but usually (as far as I've heard) the only cars that deperately required steering modifications were domestics and other cars with a large turning radius (and pro drift rides)
- Are spoilers on drift cars just for show or are they useful?
The ones on most drift cars were designed for downforce created by air flowing from the front of the car to the back, not from side to side My 2 cents
- drifting w abs or w o abs??? - DRIFTING. com
I don't really hit the brakes during a drift anyways so it doesn't matter at all to me I could not have brakes and still drift, but starting and stopping the drift would be impossible There are a ton of 240s without abs, and i dont think ANY 86s came with ABS (someone correct me if im wrong) and I see a ton of those drifting
