C2 - suspension set up for drifting

Went out today with the boys for a little drifting. mine is the low power c2 3.4l - front camber was 0 rear camber was -1 toe & castor was 0 i found the car was very difficult to drift. When it finally does, it wasn�t easy to control. I had some high powered JDM prior. all in all I think the problems were: 1. Car was heavy 2. Underpowered 3. No LSD (Psm off) anyone got recommendations as to how improve my drift game?

The main problem is that the engine is in the back, as in it's heavy there. It takes a lot of angular momentum to get it to spin around an axis that's somewhat towards the front of the car (which is what you're trying to do when starting a drift). By default, rear engined cars will be hard to drift. Note how front-engined drift cars basically rotate around the axis of the engine. With power on the rear-wheels coming far from the center-of-mass, spinning it is going to be relatively easy. With a 911, heaviest in the back and powered there as well, not so much. Kinda like a shopping cart. When it's empty or all the weight is in the front, you can drift it around the corners like a mad-man. Put two crates of beer on the rear loading rack and the thing becomes near impossible to control.

Thanks for reply! That�s exactly what I thought I am in process of finding a clutch type LSD.. look at the japan drift king. He has no problems drifting a gt3 996 You Tube

Tires and HP play a part in drifting too. Not to mention the hand brake to get it all to "break/brake" loose.

I found my 996 GT3 significantly easier to drift on a race track than a tight course (like an auto-x). Particularly in the wet on a race track it was loads of fun and relatively easier. My car was very much a track and not a drift car. I took it to a drift event with a tight course and that didn't suit the car (or me I guess?). Set up goes a long way of course, I think an LSD is going to be a large part of that. Not that I have much experience with proper drift cars but having driven a handful, the more drifty set up you put into a car, the worse it gets for handling/grip.

You will need LSD and completely disable the PSM if your car has it.

Why don't you go all out and get a LWFW to change how the power is delivered - not good for the engine but then again drifting probably isn't good for the whole car. ​​​​​​

Take up rallying.

Lol - I used to do rallying with my old Evo talked to a mate here- he said my set up was wrong. My rear tires were too wide. I need to change them to some ****ty narrower tires. I will need some sort clutch type LSD as well. My geo was also set up incorrectly - more castor and rear toe

No setup information, but maybe some inspiration You Tube

More video for inspiration You Tube

And I'm spending all this money not to drift!

That�s what I did few years ago. With more confidence now, I want to venture out to something new

Well if we're sharing video here's me drifting a completely stock (open diff) 2002 Carrera some years ago @the skidpad @VIR. You Tube

Thanks for sharing. Skid pad driving is always fun. Here�s a video if proper drifitng You Tube
