Maybe I'm just tripping. It kind of feels like the car is correcting itself.

Hard to tell without being in the car, if you let go of the gas it will will try to straighten out or flick the other way but thats the only thing I can think of. Unless you have an automatic and are trying to pull the ebrake.

I have a 6spd

lol. But, it just feels like after it brakes traction it kind of fights to stay sideways. Its really not that big of deal to me right now. I still have fun in it. I was just curious if anyone else was feeling the same thing.

Hey VDC, I agree with you on the steering angle issue. This car doesn't have nearly enough of it. The VLSD is rather finicky, as well. I wanted to ask you on how you've gotten the car to ebrake drift cause mine does not have nearly enough locking power even after retightening it. Yes, I do clutch in.
I mainly power over or clutch kick. Only power over when it's raining.

I've made my own inner tie rod spacers spacers that give more angle but at a cost of having less thread and also installed project mu ebrake pads...that help a bit more than factory but still not perfect.

btw a welded diff solves all lsd issues for drifting and adds float to the rear end.
