Here I sit broken hearted, tried to drift but only...
Dear OP;
This subject has been conversed through the history of time, if not time itself.
First and first mostly, be safe; try to get a "feel" in a safe environment where no one can get hurt and where you won't have to explain to the police why you hit a sign because you saw something in the road and accidentally accelerated instead of braked... but I digress.
Read some more. You got this!

You dont need camber. Replace your drivers seat with something proper and go drive.
If you would consider asking a question like that about camber plates, you're better off just driving hard. Worry about mods LATER. Like.....much later. You are not ready young jedi.

Maybe I've been hanging out in this section too long now, but this thread is definitely making me want to drift my track FC when I get it running. I never thought I would be that interested in drifting before.

I think drifting is more technical then auto x personally, and its really fun. instead of trying to shave seconds off your time, you are trying to initiate better, get more angle, hit clipping points.

the faster and more aggressive you drive the more you notice "hanging" on to things whether it be, being late with steering input because you're trying to hold on to the wheel, or spreading your legs against the outer bolsters to not slide around.
seating position is one of the key factors in drifting. if you're not comfortable IN the car, you won't be comfortable driving the car at it's limits.
i'm sure there are a few dudes who could vouch for this.

ill second that one buckey!!!! i have stock T2 seats and they are nice just dailying but early entries and shifting into another corner sucks! lol seats and harness are a must! (i just personally want my car to run before i put those in my car.) :p
Being comfortable is def a plus.

Yeah I bought a new steering wheel for it, the one that was on it had a flat bottom, and I hate it. Its a nice deep dish ebay steering wheel, I think it look sexy haha

Within 5 minutes of testing it i noticed an improvement with my focus and overall driving and that was WITHOUT a seatbelt. I need to break down and order a 4 point atleast.... 3 point will probably chop my head off in the event of a crash as it's low mount bolted to the floor and the belt sits right against my neck.
I punched the living **** out of my ebay dish wheel and bent it into a pringle shape. Dont buy those.

safe racer has Gforces for like $150 shipped for brand new 5pt camlock harness setups. verious colors.
don't skimp on your life man. i can honestly say i've wrecked enough times wearing/not wearing seatbelts, and the 5pt harness/seat was almost as good as getting coilovers. i dont even know how many times i've been saved from getting knocked out by my cage.
get a legit (minimum) 4pt harness. 5pt harness is needed to pass tech though. i never use the 5th one, unless i'm sketched out on the surroundings. haha
