My first time drifting on a circuit.
Completely rookie.
Your tips will be welcome.
Lots of fun but extremely difficult to link curves both.

Good job

 

loving the clutch kicks! Cool vid!

 

 

hmmm.. seems that clutch kicking won't break the rear diff.?

 

Depends on the clutch.. And how often.

 

What's your suspension/alignment setup like? I've always wanted to try and drift but I feel like the car grips the road too well

 

Excuse my poor english.
I found it extremely difficult to link curves because at the end of each revs fall down and the car was almost dead. At the end of the day so I stopped stepping clutch and started reduce to first gear and goes better.
Front wheels with 10k miles of use in 17-inch and rear with new tires very high profile (can not remember the number) in 16 inches.
Pressure to 2.2 in all wheels and standard alignment.

 

Generally, in a stock s2000 you'll drift mostly by momentum and not by engine's power..
So you might have to widen your driving lines, unless you drive a supercharged s2000 for example..
I never use clutch kick because I feel extremely pitty for my car..
It may help you softening your rear suspension so you have more rear body rolling, in order to lose grip in a smoother way (for stock cars with such a lack of torque)..

 

well, first the S2000 it´s not the best car to drift, stiff chassis, 50/50 distribution is not the best for ass dragging you can, make some changes to help, first the 2.2 pressure it is to low, raise it up, a lot! We in competition use pressures like 40/45. dont run bars to stiff more the chassis like X bars, or strut bars, let it flex it. And instal a turbo to power up
we are from Portugal and have a 600Hp Toyota Soarer and we run the British Drift Championship https://www.facebook.com/HugoRockyFernandes
