Smile drifting at matchams

was out drifting at matchams last night 1st time ive been out there in the wet, and some spots were slippery as fook due the banger racers earlier in the week dropping oil everywhere, but i dident put it in the wall so all's good, found a little vid on driftworks, bit poor quality but you can get the idea

Looks like its nice and flat round the bends. Now its lower at the front, do the wheels rub at all on full lock?

i havent got the bushes fitted yet, there in the freezer ready to go think i might try today or the weekend, you done yours yet?

yeah it rubs on full lock on the inner arch, but i think thats it, and it only seems to do it one side as the trackings so far out but as soon as i get my rear subframe bushes fitted its going in for full alignment, any ideas about good settings for oversteer

To be honest I don't know what the drift boys do for setup.

Easiest setup is just go neutral all round, you cant go wrong there.

Nope just keep running out of time! They seem a little more solid than I was expecting, but they should do the job! I'm going to have a crack at it this weekend (fingers crossed) but I need to sort the brakes out first!

Why are you putting them in the freezer? Are they made of ice cream?

because if you put them in the freezer they contract and fit in easier, meaning i'm less likely to damage them when putting them in

Yeah I tried doing it with my solid ones. Made no difference. Might work better with poly ones. Used a sledge hammer to get one in
