How the cars are set up:
The suspension in a drift car is very tight and unforgiveing even the chassis is tighened with roll cages and strut brace. The die hard followers of drift also alter the geometry of the suspenion this is to allow the the car to slide alot better..
The differentials aren't your standard limited slip type they are semi lockers to ensure there is more wheel spin.The cars quite often have different wheels front and back cause the owner has quite a few sets cause one afternoon of drifting can destroy a set of tyres. As a rule the good tyres and I mean very good tyres go on the front on the back they fit hard compund tyres quite often second hand ones as they tend to end up in a cloud of smoke. Also they stretch the tyres over a wide rim to give an example fitting 205 50 16 tyres to an 8" rim or 235 45 17 to a 9" rim this reduces the chance of the tyre rolling off the rim and enables the car to side better. The clutches on these cars ( dont bother drifting with an auto it is quite dangerous.. you can pretend in the wet though) tend to be very tough ceramic brass button or multiple plate varieties. Why? well alot of drifter use their clutch to commence wheel spin and hence the slide by either using compression lock or a clutch dump at high revs.
