New to drifting?

Hello

Recently bought a BMW E36 328, fully drift set up. Got the hydro, stripped interior, buckets, harnesses, M3 LSD, lowered on springs and coilovers and a few other bits and bobs.

Before I can drive it I need to sort something on it. When I press the throttle the pedal just sticks down, but the car revs fine from the engine. Any ideas what to try?
 
Hey, i will soon be looking into purchasing my first drift car. But i was wondering if a welded diff would effect any normal driving, for example commuting? And also if a stock engined volvo 360 2.0 would have enough power to go sideways? Thanks
 
Hey guys I am just getting back into drifting and I'm a little rusty, I was thinking about another car and I'm looking into a Nissan 180/200sx, Nissan Silvia s15, or a Mazda rx7, I need a cheap option with easy modifications like the 180 sx but also adjustable castor and camber. If anyone could give me any tips that would be awesome, thanks.
 
hey i believe this question was probably asked before a billion times, but how different is a car with a welded diff? this is my first rwd car, and love the whole drifting thing, however sometimes i just like going quick around some bends, and since this is my first rwd car i havent got a huge amount of experience with rwd should i leave it open diff(no cash for lsd) or welded it? any tips advice would be great thanks.
 
Hi all. Please help. I bought a jap import skyline r34 set up to drift. When turning tight circles slow it Clonks from the rear loud. And the wheels sort of jump. The abs light slip light and TCS off light are all on constant. Is this normal? As the mechanic I use did not like it. I am brand new to this so every bit of info is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
 
Im just starting out learning to drift, driving 1989 supra what aftermarket parts do i need for my steering, noticed that the cars have good amount of oversteer or how to set my steering and suspension up properly. Any help would be appreciated from west canada.
 
I am looking for a starter car for a first time drifter any ideas. I have about $1300 to spend. I wouldnt like to spend anymore on that for the first car incase I dont do so well and wreck it.

So if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
I would be very grateful.
 
Hi guys,

I'm brand new to drifting but am determined to get myself a little MX-5 as a starter and get involved.

Am I right in thinking that this is all I need to do:

1. Buy the car.
2. Disable the air bags if it has them.
3. Get a hydraulic handbrake installed.

Is there anything I am missing that is an essential? I'm trying to stick to a budget of less than £2,000 in total if possible. You guys think that's doable?

Thanks.
 
Buy car.
Weld diff.
Do some skids.

Optional extras of a decent seat and some suspension, not necessary but will help.
Both much more important than a hydro handbrake.
 
Is there many licence days?

For a bike racing licence, it's only one weekend a year in February with the club I raced with
