im not a sifoo unlike tydus and those DCM LFS drifters.
do u have any specific setup to drift that UNDERPOWER XRG bro?
the theory is, to drift XRG at blackwood is by taking out as much grip as u can from the rear tyre. by all means, all the knowledge about the car suspension, camber, stiffness bla2 that u have use them in the OPPOSITE WAY than the one u use to tune up ur car for MSR Racing.
1. u start by putting in more pressure to the rear tyre as this will reduce grip and makes the tyre hot quicker thus, the longer u stay on track the less grip u will have and more smoke u can make and longer drift u can do with this little underpower engine.
2. make ur suspension stiffer and lower at the back as this will reduce the work of the suspension thus, transferring all the movement/energy/force straight to the rear tyres which obviously cant handle it end up u will tend to go oversteer easier which is good for drifting.
3. the gear ratio plays important role too. instead of setting the gear ratio for the top speed of 180-190kmh, u make it just enough to touch 150-160kmh at top gear with full throttle. so, by doing this u will ALWAYS maintain the RPM 4.5k and above around the corner. u see, 4.5k or 5k and above is enough to produce quite amount of tourque to make the wheel spin in XRG.
*i tried to attach the setup file. but i couldnt do so (IMG:

so, the technique to drift.
1. start by handbraking
2. start by clutch kicking
3. start by feint drifting(feinto durifto)
the feinto durifto,
there's some corner that is suitable to use this technique.
1. the first U-Turn corner
2. the corner AFTER the straight line
3. the third last corner, the ones when u're going down the hill (assume u use blackwood not blackwood reverse)
normally feint drifting the will just throw the car in the opposite way and then quickly turn the car into the corner direction to get more momentum. but since this XRG is quite underpower, that wont help much either. so, u throw the car out ONTO the grass and turn the car back in and start drifting with 2 rear tyres while still on the grass and full throttle all the way. dun get it? its ok. i will post the screenshot and video later on
i will post the screenshot and replay in SPR format for u bro later on.
its a complete different game. LFS (IMG:

WEI TIKUS, COME LA SHARE UR TECHNIQUE =,= HOW U DO ALL THOSE WILD DANCING ON TRACK DURING EACH DRIFTING EVENT from 06-08 (IMG:
http://www.malaysiansimracers.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
for start, just practice in the first corner, the one after the straight line and the one when u're coming down the hill (the third last corner).
