Advice For New Drivers
"Start off with a super simple setup (coilovers, quality bucket seat, differential) and go from there. Learn the car as it is and learn what it needs as you progress. Keep the angle and power to a minimum despite what you hear on the internet. Also a two way lsd goes a long way in this car, the stock torsen likes to act a little silly sometimes especially on a more technical low speed track. You’ll definitely get discouraged at times, I know I did (multiple times) But stick with it and one day it’ll click and you’ll be happy you didn’t give up. Lastly, SLAM YOUR SHIT! Drifting is supposed to be style oriented and for some reason people have gotten away from that. When you first start driving you are going to suck… like real bad ( I was humbled immediately) , so you might as well look good doing it! Then as time moves on and you progress, the style portion will already be taken care of. So get out there, drive as much as possible and have fun!" -Nick
