I included some tips that for some beginners might be useful.

AE86 Setup










With the AE86 you should use the stock motor (4A-GE) at around 245 hp.
I recommend not using a turbo becuase you dont want to have too much power.












As a setup i recommend the settings seen in the image above.
Forward Grip @0.09 , Sideways Grip @-0.02 and steering angle at around 50°
You can set camber and offset a little different but from my experience
it will have a slight impact on your grip.
S15 Silvia Setup










For the s15 i recommend the F20C motor,
it has a linear powerband and is quite easy to control
You can keep the stock SR20DE motor if you want
but be sure to get around 280 hp.
With this setup its easier to spin out
but you can go faster and achieve a bit more angle.











The setup for this car with the F20C motor in it should be:
Forward Grip @0.10, Sideways Grip @-0.02
Steerlock @53-55°
Front Camber @-4.1°
Rear Camber @-0.7°
Again camber can be setup slightly different.


240SX Setup










This is the first turbo build, i would consider it an intermidiate build.
This car has the SR20DE in it with all upgrades maxed except the turbo.
The turbo setting is only at 1 so you have 340 hp.
With this build it is going to be easier to spin out than with the other 2.











I recommend the following settings:
Forward Grip @0.08
Sideways Grip @-0.02
Front Camber @-4°
Rear Camber @ -0.8°
These settings again can be slightly different.
General Tips
If you lose angle mid drift you can tap the handbrake(Space) twice to gain some agnle back,
this will also slow you down a bit.
Try to not keep one diretionkey(a,d / ArrowLeft , ArrowRight) pressed for too long
because i'll let you spin out more easily.
Try to hug the inner guardrail, the closer you are the better.
There are highspeed and lowspeed sections on every map, find them and know them.
The best way to progress is trial and error, dont give up early
this game takes a lot of practice to learn.
Horsepower isn't everything , if your technique is good you can drift fast with the previous
shown builds.

Have Fun Drifting!

TO EVERYONE THAT MADE IT DOWN HERE
This guide can np longer be used efficiently in my opinion, JDM M4ik has changed the physics too drasticly.
Im very sorry, you still try it out but i think its no longer a good guide.
