The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift.


lol. It seems like drifing (Something my friends used to do in our cheap cars 2-3 years ago) has become a REAL big thing, I guess its time to move onto something that isn't as mainstream..

oh lol, i HATE that movie so much!! I actually hate the whole FnF thing. so fake and for some reason that makes me very angry.

I didnt get into the drifting thing like most other people have by watching dumb movies like the FnF or playing Need for speed. I got started liking the idea of drifting when my friend let me borrow his Drift Bible DvD. I then started playing NFSCarbon but the same thing hit me of dumbness and the mainstreem stuff 12 year olds like. THEN! i went to wikipedia, looked up drifting and stumbled upon a "Video Game" section where it has a list of emulators and that is how i found this game. The reason ive been mostly drifting because racing wasnt my thing, i did enjoy doing it here and there but not to do all the time.

Well, you I see you presently are on Swain, which is the best drift server out there. Hang out with the regulars and it will fall into place.

Also, save up for a wheel.

that was first time i was ever online lol

I also just got a controller but im having problems with steering its too fast, ill have to mess with that more

Edit: this guy just said he got a decent wheel with stick and pedals for 25 bucks.... i need to look more

and for some reason im the first one to say
WELCOME TO S2!
Drifting is all about balance and guessing what will happen next...
you have to move your wheel, and use pedals in advance to do it sucessfuly...
I recomend Drift Bible by Keiichi Tsuchiya (spelling?) firs
and then a lot of practice
use Turbo for starters - it's a well balanced car, then when you learn it - and understand what is going on - you can try the FZ5, or LX6, or even the XRG - this underpowered little car is great fun when it's rear tyres are over hot

haha thank you!

i have watched drift bible many a times and tried using some ideas from there, it just takes come practice. I use mouse now for stearing, i found it much easier after i got use to it but i also ordered a controller, i heard its also pretty good or better. it is kinda hard to deal with throttle tho. using a button as for throttle makes it either be full throttle or no throttle.

Thanks for your help!

Go to walmart and buy a cheap controller for like 14 bucks and its alot easier than using the keyboard

something like this? its got 2 analog stick things, those look like what someone might need... right?

Quote from Tomtheman70 :

4. Don't forget to counter-steer in the direction you want to go, but don't necisarily lock the wheels in one direction once you start to slide.

7. Turn off TFaTF:3.

4 is the reason why i think stearing with mouse is better, but i would need to get use to that.

7. what is that?! sorry, again im noob

Hey guys! i just got the game 2 days ago and after about 20 mins of demo, there was no way i wasnt gonna get a S2 licence...

These 2 days, i havent dared go online and do anything there because i know i suck but i have been playing the training things for hours and hours and i decided i wanted to try drifting. Again, im a complete noob and know nothing! My questions are:

1. Any specific way i should tune my suspesion/tyres?
2. Should i set my stearing as fast as possible both ways in the options?
3. What whould be a good way to start and practice driftin?

Thanks for any response i get, i did do a search and couldnt really find anything helpful. Also if this helps, i use Mouse for gas and break and KB for rest and i always play in 3rd person view, dunno if this is bad or not.
