Its a welded diff. I only "entered" the competition because these past two events were competitions. I entered mainly for the practice time before and after those competitions. My options were enter the competition for the practice, or sit on the side lines for 3 months waiting for the next practice day.

People who think you just need "seat time" are the people who have been drifting for 4 years and still only get "ok" at it. Or they reach a certain point and simply don't get any better because they learned bad technique and developed bad habits from day 1, and have only become good at drifting the wrong way. Like when you see a dude with a fully built drift car spinning out run after run and then find out he drifts with one hand on the steering wheel, and now he can't become any better because he's been doing it that way for too long to change without relearning everything....
Learn how drifting works, the physics behind it and how it's done, and then go apply it. You'll find that everything just clicks and you'll progress quickly.

Well, thats another problem I have. My sr20 may be a shithole, some dude that rode with me was surprised I had my foot to the floor. I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't getting full power out of it.
