HOW TO - ADD TRACTION To Your Drift Car - BUT DON'T RUIN IT!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video we talk about how to manage the traction of your drift car. Don’t get greedy with it, it can be a slippery slope of losing the ability to drive your car. Make sure you have some quality dampers as they are the most important part, I recommend BC Racing for all drifting related shock absorbers.
If you’d like some info on the custom shock setups that I build, shoot an email to orderdriftparts at gmail.

Denofa is the only one I know that shares this much good knowledge just to see his fans succeed in the drift scene

How about Deane sharing his alignment? That's some confidence there. But Chelsea gives great explanation about how things work, love it.
You don’t need to do this.. but so many of us appreciate it and love it and it really shows how much you love drifting. Thanks man. Btw this season is yours! Kill it G!
Always been a big fan of your style. I am stoked to see someone who is still humble and spreading the knowledge and love for the sport. Keep it up man. If you keep driving like you have been you are for sure taking this one.
These videos are fuckin amazing. It’s so cool that Chelsea gives out this knowledge for free.
I haven't drifted in real life for a single minute, only on sims like Assetto, but you're giving us a treasure trove on car setups for free. Thank you, many times over.

It does indeed work and translate with assetto vdc
This is the most underrated driver in the game. Even though he first this year. Chelsea is the reason my car is set up the way it is
I've been drifting at a decent level for 10 years and this video was still helpful. Theories I already kinda understood, explained in a great way. Thanks, Chelsea!
Loving all this content your putting out. glad to see u stepping up how often u upload
Denofa, the FD Champion for 2021 Mark My WORDS.
I enjoy watching and learning from these videos a lot, appreciate you guys taking the time to do this!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us! I love this style of videos! And you got this championship in the bag!! 🙏🏼
Its so awesome to see you post these videos thank you! You came and taught a course for our series in 2017 and after that the driving level increased exponentially. Thank you for everything you do for the sport.
Dude I really appreciate your videos!! It helps me reflect on previous track days with this video really start to think what changes I want to make and really link the whole thing together!! Thank you!!!
hey chelsea! you are the man. You rock with this videos, thanks for making them! they are awesome since always... I still remember all your how to drift videos years ago... We all like seeing drifting videos, but we appreciate when those drifters take their time to share their knowleadge.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge for free Chelsea, as always! You're truly driving the drift scene forward
These videos are so awesome and informative. I need more. Thank you so much for all of this. I can't wait to see you drive in person.
These knowledge based videos are awesome please keep them coming !! I also appreciate that their 40 ish minutes long slowing you to go into detail 👌 love your work man keep being humble
Thank you for the information. It's very enlightening and helpful. Especially explaining stuff in a way us regular people can understand it. I hope I can apply some of what I learned to my car. Especially now that I'm putting sway bars back on lol.
Thanks for doing these videos man. Keep it up we love this stuff. Drifting has been such a dark art for all these years so it's great for this information to make it out there. I drift with no sway bars at the moment. I can't fit a front bar with the LS in the way and I removed the rear bar chasing more grip in Pro-Am class trying to pull every last bit of grip from a 235 radial, suspension full soft, 15psi tyres and a healthy amount of toe in.
So awesome getting tips from one of the best in this business. Thanks for all you do for the sport!
Appreciate you taking the time to talk through this topic. Awesome to have an idea what changes will do before I go test them.
awesome video! blew my mind! so many extra things I've never though of before! definitely going to wacth this again and absorb as much as I can. THANK YOU
Fricking wicked videos mate! So many people keep these things as guarded secrets, glad you're spreading the love ❤
Wow....just wow. Having someone as skilled and talented as you helping us understand these huge concepts is sick. Thank you for doing this because its nice to have some sort of path to guide you and understand whats going on when it comes to adding grip to a drift car. Some of us only have simulators and video games since the logistics arent there. And we dont get the true 'seat time' but at least with this information, we can learn to practice and understand grip overall.
Thanks for all wisdom my man always love watching you drive I learn a lot from you
You're a great driver one of my favorites, also I got interested in Drifting because of your video from like 5yrs ago. When you made a how to Drift video and how to do donuts, and now you're making these videos about alignment and grip. You explain things very well compare to others I've watched and asked.
These videos are very informative. I love it keep pumping them out chelsea!
Love these videos, helping us understand what we need to do in order to progress is great. Thank you!
I keep watching it every year to revisit my setup. Thank you so much!
The amount of knowledge this legend has been dropping on us is god tier

Learned a lot from this video. Sway bars and what grip in diff places does. Sharing your years of knowledge with the community. We appreciate it all!
These videos came out just in time, I’m building a s197 right now or next season🤘🏼 thank you for your knowledge my guy you absolutely kill it!!
Awesome video, I’ve tended to have the same theory’s and beliefs as you, I was so happy to see the spares in the front video, when I first started looking into the front end, I felt grip was important, then after watching stewy do his maniac driving, I watched the front doing a lot of sliding, and started to understand the pivot point, and it’s importance. A car that pivots around the front end is just a weird feel, and it takes so much more room to make transitions and god forbid you get backwards, you scrub that speed really fast, and that’s about the best scenario you can hope for.
Another great video. Thanks for always being down to help. For the public every time I text Chelsea with some questions about how to setup the car, never a complaint, always helps makes my car feel amazing. Thanks for the knowledge man.
I love all the info you are giving out for free. I'm literally writing it all down
Always great to see professionals share their tips and not keeping info to themselves. Reminds me to watch the HP academy suspension courses.
I knew you couldn't resist talking about sway bars! 😂 Awesome information dude. Thank you for spreading the knowledge!
This video finally helped me understand a lot of fundamental principles of chassis tuning. Stuff like how sway bars add grip to the rear, or what damper adjustments actually do. It finally all clicked in my head. You have an amazing way of teaching really complex things. Sat through the whole 40min video like it was nothing. Also, I finally understand why I'm having to initiate so fast and so late with my car! I have too much grip at the front and the car instantly wants to turn in. A few times I've had really close calls almost crashing on the infield because of this. This video is GOLD!
Thank you for not only kicking ass on the track but also helping us understand how to get better
Learnt some new things in these videos, solidified some things in my mind iv been doing and thinking of doing. Appreciate the content 👏
thank you for your time!! thank you for support non professional drivers!!
I'm a professional Sim Drifter and always finding my way to this video ! huge thanks for all the info it helped me so much in the last season ! ( Best one I ever had )
I have been really intimidated by the idea of tuning my suspension. The way you break it down at least gives me confidence to a) give myself a baseline setup thats not just "set it all in the middle" and b) what to feel for when making adjustments. Thank you so much for passing along the knowledge. I want to come back to the school sometime to talk setup and improve my driving. It might be a good idea to put all of these setup vids in a playlist.
I used to compete in 1/10 Rc drifting in Europe… seeing you talk and explain 1/1 car setup is so so cool when i can compare that to my skills in Rc, Running Plastic tires for example (by rule) creates different challenges, things like hp wars were non existent because of tire damage rules, for example if u overpowered your car the tires would literally melt and increase grip which was not allowed (would result in dq) swaping shhocks and shock oils and springs was waaaaaaay easier and faster than on 1/1 and the tuning options were endless… even tho i wish i had more setup knowledge back then beacuse thousands of different setings was overwhelming at times… Anyways super interesting videos! Lets get that championship!
this was really what many drivers were missing including myself! Thanks👌🏻
very good explanation of sway bar effect and weight jacking / transition feel
SUPER helpful! Really need to test these out to see if it makes the car feel better.
Thanks Chelsea, I know its and old video, but it never gets old for us. Saludos from Panama, Central America. You are an inspiration for drifters out here. Would be a dream to meet you sometime or even come once again to our city. Keep Drifting!!
This is a great video I've forsure been messing with tire pressures but not clicks on my bc coils but I'm for sure gonna mess with some shock adjustment at the next drift event
Love the info man going to make some adjustments on my BC coilovers next event.
Thanks! Stoked for the information I’ve a lot to learn and take to the track
Very informative; definitely saving this to my library. This is your year buddy; bring it home. 🏆🙏
Really appreciate these videos Chelsea, great info shared. thank you
Love your stuff bro, from New Zealand man!! Your the best
Super informative and well explained. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids
Most helpful car setup advice of 2021
I wish I can meet you someday. The way you share information just to help others is amazing. Thanks for all the help with your videos, you are the reason I built a drift car. Jorge, from Panama.
This honestly helped allot for vdc cars at Irwindale where if you don’t run a sway bar the banked corner is almost impossible
Love the insight man, thank you a bunch! Recently got my stock KA s13 feeling pretty good but might loosen up the rear so I don't need such hi psi for the rear tires lol
Thanks dude you're the best, all this info really helps us all 👍🏽🙂
Whoa, didn't expect that much information when I clicked. Very cool, thanks!
Love the videos bro super informative! I wanna see the progress of the fox body!! But you are slaying FD bro I hope you take it all the way man!
Congrats on the championship my man! This video is my recurring reference to understand my car and its setup
You have so much suspension knowledge, it great that you share man. Ive learned a lot. Your a good dude

The two last videos about setup was freaking awsome.
Great videos bro appreciate all the knowledge !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks men I alway liked your style of driving. Thank for making video like this
This video is super helpful and it reinforces a lot of my understanding of setup. One thing I would say though is that this is the perfect rubric to follow for cars above 250hp, lower than that and you have to start resorting to some unconventional setup techniques lol. Like when you went out with your Corolla and had to air up to like 60psi to compensate for the lack of power. It becomes a balance of trying to take out grip while still maintaining enough control to link corners ✌️
Congratulations Chelsea! Good job!
keep em coming man these videos are amazing
Sick videos you have giving all info anyone would ever need if they put all your information together from all videos and has a bit of knowledge. first person i have seeing to put all info out there big thanks 👍. I buy drift cars with sway bars removed and always put back in way better and set up how you have have explain and young fella bets cars with twice power in comp whole time 😁
Hell yeah baby! Gonna be a sick episode
Bro! Your knowledge is literally gold 🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙🪙 Love all your videos. Love ❤️ from India
Thank you for taking the time to drop your knowledge

Thank you for the help and clarity!
Can you do a video explaining how differential setups change how a car drives, i.e, welded, 1.5way, 2 way, lsd, torsen . What the pros use and why? How to decide what you might need? I drove a high powered 1.5way car and could not figure out how to transition, literally broke my brain. I absolutely love these vids, have taken a ton of notes from them!
Taking notes on how to ungrip, appreciate the info.. thanks!
Keep it up champ!! I'm going to apply this to my SIM set up.
Super instructive video, thank you a lot Chelsea! It would be fun to discuss setup for a newbie like me.
Thanks for the tips! Makes a lot of sense
This dude on the internet showed me all I need for drifting is space saver donuts.
That information worth years! 🤩
Awsome info, can't wait to put to use at track
Such awesome insight, as always.
These videos are amazing!
This is great info! How about big wings and endplates? I remember you used to run the wing on the e46 at certain tracks.
These videos are sooo good!
Thank you so much for this Chelsea.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great video especially for someone like me getting ready to set you my c5!!
Loving all the info
Super helpful thanks! The fact you're taking time to make these videos just to help us out is why you're the shit.
Amazing information, thank you
Man the only thing not stoked on this team are the bumpers! LMAO, dale yeah! Keep up the work and the content!
I was super curious why did the manji and now I know! That’s insane the nitrous plays that big a role.
