Drift zone car setup?


Recommended Posts

Try C63, preferably not with much of tuning on engine and transmission. You don't really need a fast car here, but powerful enough to to keep momentum uphill.

 

For dirt, get Subaru, no matter much of a set up, you'll get much more points than you need with this car.

I done every drift event, including the offroad ones, with the following.

 

Mazda RX7
Engine:
Slots all Ultimate +


Chassis:
Pro+ suspension
Elite everything else

 

Drivetrain:
Elite DRAG tires
Super showcase differential

 

Traction control OFF.

 

Power into a drift and counter-steer, tapping R2 as needed, and it will keep you going sideways.

 

It also helps to get a good run up and enter the drift zone sideways, particularly for a specific event which name I can't remember (the one that requires a 100k score downhill on an S-bend).

 

Hope this helps.

This is work, I just use stock engine and almost furst try every challenge,  the only thing that make you fail is random npc car.

Thanks

Yeah this one I saw on a video on YouTube and it worked for me too.

I've had massive problems with the drift zones due to a wrong set up. Took me hours for a single drift zone. Things changed when I discovered this Video The Secret to Drifting in NFS Heat | Drifting Guide - YouTube

 

Changed my set up and were able to get almost every drift zone first try with way more points, than needed for 3 Stars. I used the following Set Up:

 

Car: RX-7 Spirit R '02

 

Engine

Engine: 562 hp 3,8l V8

Crankshaft: Ultimate+

ECU: Ultimate+

Cooling: Ultimate+

Exhaust: Ultimate+

Turbo: Ultimate Dual Turbo Charger 

Nitrous System: 5 x 3LB Tanks

 

Chassis

Suspension: Super Speedcross Suspension

Brakes: Elite

Tires: Elite Speedcross Tires

 

Drive Train

Clutch: Elite+ Clutch

Gearbox: Super 5 Speed

Differential: Speedcross Differential

 

Auxiliary

Active: Repair Kit

Passive: Nitrous Extra Mix

 

Live Tuning:

Steering Sensitivity: High

Downforce: Low

Traction Control: Off

Drift Style: Gas

 

Also I didn't drift quite the way the game tells us to do. I held down gas all the way and just used the steering to start drifts. In few cases the hand brake also helped.

I highly recommend this set-up. It helped me a lot.

I haven’t gotten there yet, but thanks for posting.  I’ll definitely give this a look.

Following the YouTube video and Leo3572's advice made a night and day difference with my drift scores. Drift zones I had previously only managed one star on became WAY easier to three star. I used an almost identical setup on a Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, except only one of my engine parts was an Ultimate and the rest were Elites. Thank you!

Why did you need Nitrous for drifting?
