Traction

Apart from lowering the car, ensuring tyres are all okay etc what can I do to increase the traction on the car. I drift 90% of the time at the moment, usually having to slam on the hand break and push power through to put the car into a controlled drift.

Any tips please?

buy new tyres so you arent "drifting"

Install brain MK2 or at least use the one you have.

its wet.. drive slower.. hardly rocket science. if its FWD and the back end is coming out check the tyre pressures and drive slower.

i thought i drove hard yet iv never had my car (240bhp 4x4) break away into a "drift" i dont know how people can drive fast enough to do it, it must be insane speeds!

and drift is just a term to make people more comfortable with the fact its actually a slide they are actually in very little to no control of the car.

Suppose your right there, Ive been playing too much Burnout

activa. more tyre contact due to near zero body roll, more grip than just about any other car out there.

and driving slower, lower front suspension (or raise rear), increase track, more front toe out, ,more negative camber on front suspension, softer compound tyres, stiffen rear shock absorbers, blah blah blah....

yea stop pretending youre a rally driver and drive properly

Serieously 10mph around a roundabout should be fine yes? Im still getting stupid movement.

205s on steelies.... It just aint working at all....

Arrgg and Roll ask Knighty about the roll on the thing. His reaction was "ermm is this a clown car?" Ive replaced all shocks, dampers and springs yet still not killing the roll.. Also checked the integrity of the anti-roll bar and its fine...

Get a new car then
