Extra steering angle for drift

in #cars6 years ago (edited)

For those who couldn't understand the title, here's a picture for you to visualize it better

If not mistaken, the old Mercedes models have a little bit extra steering angle as well, as they turn to the maximum angle on either side, you can see it is a little bit slanted. Just like my picture.

So what does this mod does is the knuckle for steering input has been changed, to a custom made one. Those that are pre-made or factory ones are way more expensive than custom made ones. Just like an exhaust pipe, either you buy from a shop with the exhaust set ready and plug and play, or you can go to a custom exhaust shop and they can weld according to the size and piping to your likings.

Basically this extra steering angle allows me to drift at a wider angle and also a higher speed. Well, there are drawbacks of course, especially whenever I'm doing a 3-point turn, I have to apply more throttle so the car can move or else it will stall. The reason being is because the angle has already exceeded the normal angle that allows the rear to push the car forward (Rear Wheel Drive). Kinda like the theory like you're pushing someone who doesn't want to walk.
