Sup everyone!
it nice to be here and reading every1 post.
to be honest thoughts about supra on drifting.
supras are very good in drifting, drags, and street racing.
as in drifting scene there mostly sil80s, but rx7 & supra are very good as well.
sil80 is very cheap and easy tunes.
rx7 (fc3s & fd3s) and supras (III & IV) are pricey but can win any events.
as you know Rys Millen and Samuel Hubelette were the drifters of silver supra in Drift Day, Formula D and D1 Grand Prix.
WWW.D1GP.COM. now Rys is driving GTO, and Samual is driving Viper as in their next level of drifting. for now there is no supra on the scene. im driving RX7 fc3s project drift machine only not on the street. after winnning some events, the supra is my next project or Rys and Samuel will let me use their supra.
someone asking how to drift supra, weights and widness doesnt really matter.
inqury to drift: strut bars front and rear, roll cages, 350-400HP, at least two sets of tires and rims to waste, falken or toyo tires, 13-15" rims(deep dish style), GT spoiler, racing seat (H Point), and E-brakes adj.
level 1. driving around- (must be open tracks or parking lot where no cops see you doing)
to get use to it as low speed 34 mph then speed up carefully to 45, 55 mph.. step by step
level 2. find the spot where noone is around especilly cops, no upcoming cars, no platforms, no bars, make sure floor
is smooth, no hole, no damp ( otherwise axel breaks in and there is no control of it), extra tires and rims,
and nobody is watching but urself and ur friends..
----- drive at 30 mph on corner keep eyes one ur wheel and road. mostly gear 2 or 3rd. gas on flooriing.
stop at any cause
level 3. same street at other time. practice again until u feel sliding. safety first aware at any cause.
level 4. again same as 2 & 3, but this time practice on e-shift( e-brakes), this is little hard to do and timing must be
right on. e-shift is when after about to turn LT( left tiurn) or RT (right turn). this can be done as low speed
for perfect practices. for high speed is recommanded in tracks oe speedway.
level 5. controling - going for the right -- tap right then turn left and holding and control as u gas it, same thing as
going for the left... please look what u doing : like watching the road and other thing is coming in your way.
I recommanded in tracks for safety.
For best practice - i know it sound funny but it always works... try to go todo racing carts, even thought there no shift to gear of but at least u gets an idea how ur carts moves & turns as u gas the whole time and controlling as well.
I hope everyone takes their time practice dont over doing it. u will ended up paying alot of damages. make sure watch DRIFT BIBLE & INITIAL D JAPAN ANIMATIONS actually shows u as well. dvd is where its explains and showing u how to drift step by step on the video or dvd.
thanks supra fans and lover
