I am not really in to on road cars but i got a really good deal on a rs4 type 3ss. Since just driving up and down the road is boring i have decided that im going to give drifting a try. Im wondering what i need to do to this car to make it a drift car. I have ordered some tires on ebay so they should be here soon. It has two speed trans do i need to change the gearing on it? And while im asking are there any upgrades that anyone would reccomend on the car? I look forward to trying to drift. Thanks

Hey,I'm in the same boat as you,wanting to start drifting an RS4 3 SS.I should have some fuel this weekend and then I'll be able to break it in and start trying to get it to slide.I'll share with you what I come up with and some pics.

I'd recomend tossing a front 1-way in for starters. the car will drift with just adding tires, but, you'll find it pushy because of the weight and diffs wanting to make it go straight.

Well i got some tires yesterday. I do not know how much i am going to like this since the car just slides around like its on glass. Its fun for a little while. I bought abs tires off of ebay and they have absolutely no traction. Very hard to build up any speed. Did i get the wrong tires or is this what i have to get used to if i want to try drifting?

I would use the hpi "a" drifts. They are made of a hard rubber compound. they will work alot better

Will they have more grip? where would you reccomend buying them from?

yes they have more grip because of the hard rubber compound, not a poly compound.
part # 4402 from hpi. you can get them at your LHS

u can try raikou drift tyres, dxpe or d68. i her its a lot cheaper than hpi tyres and many use them for comps on both tech and fast tracks. http://www.raikoudrifttires.com/tires.html thats the link
