How does that help me???? This doesn't seem to be the right place to be asking these questions. Seems to me this is for AutoX/Road racing forum.

Forget it.....

 

The site below provides some information on different kinds of drift techniques. I do not know how accurate they are, nor do I know if our S2 is capabale of any/all of these techniques.

Read on for more information:

I hope this helps.

 

crisco... crisco works better

 

I thought you just needed throttle and steering input ?

 

just brake into a turn to induce oversteer, then get on the throttle hard to kick the rear end out. You will need to be at around 6K+ RPM. I do it every week around town (when turning onto 4 lane roads), the rear end kicks out nicely and you can continue the rotation as long as you are on the gas. Let up and the front snaps right back around.

 

If you know the proper techniques to drift a car you can drift any RWD car. Plain and simple. Now drifting it in a small radius and being able to hold a drift as you see at professional levels is an entirely different thing. That takes more work, power, the proper suspension set-up, etc.

 

hmm... not always.

I've gotten an AP1 S2000 to snap oversteer on me (unintentionally of course).

When you let off the gas it transfers weight back toward the front of the vehicle, further unloading the slipping wheels. You can either finesse the gas pedal until the rear wheels regain traction, or jam the gas even harder to induce weight transfer to the rear wheels.

The S2000 is slightly easier to drift then other cars I've seen around here enter "drift" competitions. It's more and more common to see FWD drivers out there yanking their e-brakes

 

Thank you all, this is very helpful. I must appologize as I did not clear state my question.

What I'm looking for is the tuning/parts needed to maintain drift like the professionals do. I did find an article with the RSR D1 Drift S2K, and it explained how they were able to get the S2K to drift.

As far as technique, I'm working on that with my friends 240 Kouki style. There are many types of methods that everyone here is using IE.. power drift/ powerover, shift-brake, trail-brake, feint......there are too many to name. But I'm trying to learn the balance and control of his car. As for the S2K, I'd like to learn using it, as I feel that it would be a LOT more fun to drift in it like Alex Pheifer in his RSR S2K.

Now based on what the RSR team had done, I'm going to have to find out what parts they used and how difficult it would be do DIY.

You're right about what they did to Alex's S, it is far beyond with I can do. Let me rephrase what I said. I'd like to do some of the work myself, since it would be good to know my car. For the majority of the work it will require professional help.

Besides, I'm not trying to be like Alex, I just want to see what I can do in a much smaller and a cheap way. Now if the only way to drift it is to go the route that RSR has done, then I will have to reconsider it, but again "if there's a will, there's a way".
