I think you need stiffer springs and repair your right side-light (or break your left).

Think in using some cones. That way you can learn a lot faster as you have some references. Doing drifts in a open space (i mean with no references/cones/defined path whatsoever, never near trafic) is like having sex with the cloth on.

I do need stiffer springs. Good call on the light, I would never have noticed that!  I thought you were crazy at first, but then I looked carefully and noticed it.
Yep, cones are next.

well you'll get the hang of it. The car will be easier to control with stiffer springs. Let me share a secret which I found out.
The back of the cars supension is one of the biggest spots that does the body roll. I found that out while doing some testing with springs.

I'm guessing that is probably a result of having a solid rear axle setup instead of IRS...
And yeah, on my GTS coupe I can really see how stiffer suspention helps. That, and an LSD plus a 4age of course
