Do FC's drift well?
Stock ones are pretty controlable. But compared to S13-14 or AE86 it is rather limited.

I gotta say that I've seen a lot of drift websites and a lot of them have that same info as previously stated, the only thing is, differentiating the real drift techniques from the ones made up by watching Initial D. Its usually the descriptions that vary from site to site.



For a lot of club drifters, when you ask their technique they will tell you they dump the clutch and use the e-brake, they don't use jap names for different ways of taking a corner, cos all situations are different.

you can intiate some kind of drfit with any 7. I'm positive about first and second gens and we've all seen third gens destroying tires.

MY FC drifts fine.........its kinda like an overgrown hachi roku. Both of them not being the easiest car to drift in. I have driven......s13, 14, FC FD Cefiro Laurel, AE86, KP starlet, and other cars as well. The Sylvia, 180s are nice for drifting they are pretty neutral and easy to get sideways and kind of maintain it there........if I wasn't a damn FC nut I would probably get a s14 but everyone and thier brother has a damn nissan over here and I like wooping *** in my FC



The FC likes to come out fast and requires a good line and spot on Throttle control to maintain a long drift but they are fast and turn quickly like a hach rouku. Hachi Rokus have real short wheel base which makes them a littl jumpy and they are underpowered so you have to have some speed going in and be able to control the throttle and steering wheel quickly to keep from wiping out.



As with any car though the more you drive it the better you will get and you can make modifications to support your needs.

A "FAINT DRIFT" is actually mispelled, should be "Feint" drift. A feint is moving opposite of the intended direction. In rallying, it is often called a "pedumlum" turn, or a "Scandinavian Flick."



This technique helps to promote the weight transfer for the suspension, and it gets your inertia heading in the right direction. Its a lot of fun, but you gotta be real ballsy to pull it off in tight quarters or with walls/cars/people around.

I have taken my TII on a few occasions to try and practice some....but the main problem I am having (outside of shitty tires and suspension) is the gas pedal location. It is too low or the brake pedal is too high that when I am heel-toe shifting into a lower gear that it is damn near impossible to hit the has pedal accurately. I either don't hit it enough or I hit it too hard since I have to try so hard at it. My FD has perfect pedal placement and S14's also have unbelievalbely perfect pedal placement...plus they are so close together that you can simply roll your foot left and right while touching both pedals.



I am new to FC's...but is there a way to raise the gas pedal or lower the brake pedal? I would like them to be more even for rev matching.
