Yeah every car has different params and most likely will require different settings. with mod cars you never know, i generally tend to keep away from them, next dlc should bring some crazy tuners cars that will be crazy to drift with. Add me and send me your tuning setup, ill take a look at it when i have time :)

is their any guidelines for wheel setup. i just got my setup going last night (thrustmaster tx wheel) and i tried doing some slides with some cars and it was just spin city and just didnt feel right. idk if i messed up the calibration for my pedals or something but it felt terrible, or maybe the cars i downloaded didnt have good mods. as far as experience with drifting i've done far too many hours in gt6 and fm6. so any advice or does everything i've learned from their mean nothing QQ .

To see if your pedals are calibrated correctly you can either use the control calibration panel for your software or there's an app in-game that shows pedal input.

1. Idealistically, you want a steering wheel. If you're absolutely new to drifting, i suggest decreasing the steering angle of your steering wheel to 720° just to make life a little easier for you at the beginnning, later on you can set it back up to 900° or whatever is your max.
2. Use the E30 drift spec, its pretty good for beginners as it has that sweetspot of HP for new drivers-not too much, enough to get the tail kickin. I'd suggest adjusting the setup as well of the car because with the default one isn't that great and you will find it hard to control the angle or connect transitions together. Additionally, if you still find it extremely hard, I know a while back beginners used to leave TC on for 10% to avoid constant spinouts, I have no idea how it is now but back then it made a pretty big difference.
3. start with SP. don't jump into online drift servers to learn drifting, most of the time you'll end up either crashing into walls or other people, piss them off and you will be the centre of all salt. Until you don't have at least the basics down and you can control the car well stay offline.
4. This probably should've been a point higher up, but I didn't quite understand from your post whether you're new to drifting in general or just new to drifting in AC. If you're new to drifting in general, watch drift bible by Keiichi Tsuchiya HERE . It's a great starters guide for anyone, after I watched it back when LFS was still relevant it really made things clearer for me.
5. Practice, practice, practice. Start drifting, adjust your setup, turn down assists, increase the steering angle, practice more, adjust your setup again, practice, practice, setup, go online, get shouted at, practice, setup, practice, practice and you're the next drift king going off to tokyo to meet Dom Toretto :)

About the setup, there are a lot of guides online on how to generally adjust a car setup in real life. Once you understand what impacts what how and read hints inside AC you will have a good understanding of what to change and why to change it. For everyone the drifting setup is a bit different to suit your style, but the essential things should stay the same.

Good Luck :)
