Hey guys
Yesterday I finally got my first xmod(boxing day, $30.00 off) it's a Acura RSX. There was 1 drifting kit left so I decided to pick it up. I come home and put them on, and I cant even go straight for 2 seconds. I just keep turning in circles on the spot.
Is it supposed to be like that? Thanks if you can help.
off topic: the turning on my xmod is really wide, is that normal also? thanks.

Rear wheel drive? Yeah, it only has rear wheel drive.

RWD = Rear wheel drive
2WD = Rear/2 wheel drive
AWD = all wheel drive
PITFK = payaso is the fuckin king

the kit is normal, but you'll need a AWD kit to really use it.

You need the AWD to get traction at the front wheels to PULL you out of the the spin before you actually spin out.
It takes ALOT of practice.

Ask for what you want here:
Lookin' to score
I think you'll need more than 50 posts, so look around, READ and don't make threads if there is one like it already, we get real angry
.
What ever you're into, there is info on it here at BP. Just find a subforum and lurk a while, soak things up.
I'm sure someone here has an AWD kit for sale. I had one but I gave it away.

Okay, sorry. But I just have 1 more question. Is the xmod steering supposed to be wide?(stock)

Less posting, more reading
Xmod discussion
Page 6 may be a good place to start, that's when WE were new to them and since you're new to them now, you should start there. All kinds of mods and reviews can be found here.

lol maxx.
since the car is rwd and you can't really get awd yet, ryan, i suggest you start practicing.
put electrical tape on the rear wheels -- trust me, it's grippier than the drift kit plastic and you'll have an easier time with it.
lock the diff, somehow, as long as it's locked solidly and won't come loose under power.
countersteer REALLY early. as soon as you know the rear end is out, let up the throttle halfway or more, and countersteer all the way.
took me a year to learn how to rwd drift, so i'm hoping there's someone out there with more skill who can perfect the art and teach me back.

Yeah, I actually just found the AWD kit on the website. I had to go to the xmod section to see it. Before I just typed in Xmods in the search button and it didnt appear.
