Drifting at Grange Motor Circuit; Apple Valley, CA
The event was hosted by www.SlideFactory.org and is great for all driver levels from straight beginner to advance.

It's a safe track and a great place to learn dynamic car control.

Just had the PBM knuckle + outer tie rod installed. I realized at full lock my wheel is grinding into the outer tie rod. What offest do I need to prevent this from happening or what offset are you guys running with the knuckles? I'm currently 16x8.5 -6. I'm noticing a trend that anyone with the full kit from PBM has overfenders...

The offset spacers may help prevent that. Or depending on how much it runs, a small slip on spacer might give you the clearance you need.

5mm spacer and removing the clip on wheel weights did the job. Thanks!

Noob here. I'm getting an opportunity to drift on an actual race track and I've only initiated in 2nd gear and have no experience in 3rd or above. How do they differ and any pointers?

More speed, more throttle, more commitment. That's pretty much it honestly. You'll probably want to start a bit higher on rear tire pressure and then lower accordingly depending on how the car feels.

^^^. This. Commitment being the key part’

What is everyone running for alignment? I've got some BC coilovers, SPC lcas, SPC toe bushings, and Megan racing inner tie rods. Thinking something along the lines of -4 deg camber up front with slight toe out, -1 deg rear with slight toe in.

-3 to -4 is typically a good starting range up front. A bit toe out is nice as well.

For the rear, -1 to -2 is ok. If you can get under -1.5 then you should be good as far as tire wear goes. For toe, it depends on your preference. Personally, I found zero toe on the rear to be better. If you want more rear stability, a touch of toe in will help.

Great, I'll start with 0 toe and go from there. Thanks!

Still struggling with consistency.

What is everyone running for dampening?
