langkah-langkah bikin mobil drift

Kompetisi drifting memang sedang booming baik di luar negeri maupun di Tanah Air. Sepertinya juga tahun 2013 mendatang adalah momentum kejayaan balap drift di Indonesia. Dari kabar yang beredar, ada beberapa kejuaran drift yang diselenggarakan oleh ikatan Motor Indonesia (IMI) termasuk Kejurnas.


Peluang tersebut tentunya sangat sayang jika dilewatkan begitu saja. Nah.. Bagi anak muda enerjik yang ingin membangun Mobil Drift dan berpartisipasi dalam balap drifting, Anda bisa melakukan langkah-langkah sebagai berikut.

Pilih Mobil Dan Tentukan Budget

Pastikan Mobil Drift yang Anda bangun adalah berpenggerak roda belakang atau RWD yang familiar dan enak untuk modifikasi, seperti yang biasa dipakai di luar negeri. Caranya bisa lihat di forum-forum, sehingga mesin maupun mencari parts kompetisi lebih mudah.


Soal biaya, bila pasang target di kejuaran memang cukup mahal, namun Anda bisa memangkas biaya pada penentuan Mobil Drift. “Nissan Cefiro itu mobil yang murah dan sudah RWD. Di Jepang pun sudah biasa dipakai drift dan kompartemen mesinnya sudah mirip Nissan Skyline,” ucap Johan Fajito, drifter sekaligus pemilik gerai khusus barang-barang drifting.

Engine Swap Dan Kejar Power Yang Besar

Mesin dengan tenaga besar wajib diemban Mobil Drift. Beberapa alternatif mesin populer bisa Anda pilih seperti menggunakan mesin 1JZ atau 2JZ dari Toyota Supra, mesin RB25 atau RB26 dari Nissan Skyline, mesin SR20 dari Nissan Silvia, mesin 1UZ 8 silinder milik Toyota Soarer ataupun mesin LS milik Chevrolet.


“Pilihan mesin tersebut tergantung drifter mau karekter Mobil Drift seperti apa, misalnya mesin Supra memiliki horse power yang besar sedangkan mesin V8 memiliki torsi yang besar,”


  Untuk tenaga mesin, Johan menyarankan Mobil Drift idealnya kejar tenaga hingga 400-500 HP. Sebisa mungkin, mobil sampai hilang traksi di bagian roda belakang. “Caranya, modifikasi mesin seperti ganti turbo, piston, stang piston, injector, engine management, dan tingkatkan boost turbo,” katanya. Johan pun juga tidak mengharamkan memakai nitrous. “Jika turbo besar kemungkinan ada lag di putaran mesin bawah. Jadi pakai nitrous untuk mengejar putaran mesin di bawah,”

Tingkatkan Kinerja Kaki-Kaki Hingga Membuat Super Angle

Untuk kaki-kaki Mobil Drift bisa tangguh melibas setiap tikungan di arena drift, piranti ini wajib digunakan pada seperti pasang suspensi coilover, adjustable arm, maupun limited slip differential yang bisa didapat di pasaran.


Yang juga sangat penting untuk Mobil Drift adalah melakukan modifikasi ‘super angle’, agar ban bisa belok lebih banyak. Super angle bisa sampai 60 derajat dengan cara modifikasi di bagian kaki-kaki seperti knuckle, terot, sampai  lower arm yang lebih panjang.


Penggunaan velg dengan offset kecil, kalau bisa velg harus lebar. Fungsinya offset kecil agar bisa menggunakan brake kit yang besar serta velg akan keluar body, berarti ban bisa pakai yang lebih lebar jadi bisa mendapatkan traksi yang lebih pada bagian depan.

Gunakan Roll Bar Dan Pangkas Bobot

Penggunaan roll bar wajib pada Mobil Drift untuk berkompetisi, dan yang terpenting roll bar tidak asal terpasang, tapi harus di-las dengan kuat. Tujuannya untuk keamanan selain itu membuat rigid sasis. “Standarnya bisa ikuti regulasi dari Formula Drift, karena sudah ada desain dan rumusnya, jadi tinggal diikuti saja.


Selanjutnya untuk Mobil Drift, bagian yang tidak perlu bisa dilepas bahkan dipotong. Atau bisa juga ganti bagian-bagian dengan bahan yang ringan seperti penggunaan serat fiber.

 The kickoff of the 2013 D1 Grand Prix season is normally looked at the Tokyo Auto Salon which brings out a huge group of drivers to put on an exhibition of the parking lot. Here is Daigo Saito with his Sunoco Fuels sponsored Lexus IS250-C. This car sounds quite insane as he rips around the TAS parking lot.

Following in the footsteps of Max Orido and Tetsuya Hibino, it appears that Ken Nomura aka Nomuken will be driving a Toyota GT86 in D1 next season.  This snapshot shows off some interesting lexan pieces attached to the rear wing. Formula D has taken steps to minimize the size of spoiler end plates, it doesn’t appear that D1 has the same rules.

KEN BLOCK AND HOONIGAN RACING DEBUT ALL-NEW, M-SPORT BUILT 2013 FORD FIESTA ST RX43



For the 2013 race season, Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block is focused on two goals: winning gold at all four of this year’s Global X Games and going for the overall championship win during this year’s Global RallyCross season. Ken’s tool for achieving these goals is the all-new, M-Sport built, Hoonigan Racing Division Ford Fiesta ST RX43.

Developed in collaboration between Block, Hoonigan Racing Division and M-Sport (the Malcolm Wilson-run motorsports operation in England that’s been responsible for fielding Ford’s WRC efforts over the last 16 years), Block’s new racecar is a completely fresh build from the ground up. Starting with the base Ford Fiesta shell, M-Sport has taken their considerable years of experience and expertise and focused their efforts into creating the ultimate, fire-spitting RallyCross car for Block to compete with this season.

“We turned to M-Sport on this build for a multitude of reasons,” said Team Manager Derek Dauncey. “We learned a lot last year in Ken’s debut GRC season and we were able to take that information, pass it along to the engineering team at M-Sport and have them create an absolute beast of a racecar. Our car last year was quite good and Ken qualified first a few times, took silver at Los Angeles X Games and led the majority of the final race in Las Vegas. To be entering this season with a car that’s so much improved upon an already great vehicle is great for Ken and the team.”

Having completed a successful first test of the car just yesterday, Block came away highly impressed. “I’m absolutely stoked on how this car has turned out,” said Block. “I know my Ford Fiesta HFHV last year was awesome, but the RX43 is really on a whole new level. Malcolm and the team at M-Sport took all of our input and made some radical improvements. I’m feeling absolutely confident that I’ll have one of the best cars on the starting grid when we kick off the GRC season at Global X Games in Brazil next month. I can’t wait!”

Block’s first competitive event with his new Ford Fiesta ST RX43 will take place later next month on April 21st at the first of four Global X Games, X Games Brazil. :http://hooniganracing.com

Tips

  1. steer hard when turned to start sliding, then do a slam-wheel (countersteer) before the car off the track 
  2. countersteering to maintain the rate of glide. It's a balancing act for 
  3. you prepare for upcoming turns. The goal is to be able to drift along the path trodden by no stretch a car for a few moments when the rear (stern) swing 
  4. You should spur the pace now, so be prepared for gas which aims to keep the rear wheels continue to slide. Traction kills drift! 
  5. the most difficult moments. Keeping the back (stern) continues to glide through the bends very easily, but to continue to drift in a straight line which is quite heavy. When you lose momentum, position the car will be straight back, but you'd be surprised turned away long you can maintain a launching position.

The main techniques

There are two main techniques used by the drifter to create Clutching the drift motion (using the clutch) and braking (brake usage). In the clutching technique, while car drivers approaching the turn, he would press the clutch and move into second gear. Then the riders will hit the gas to about 4500 rpm. When the clutch is released, there will be a strong rotation on the tires because of the time the engine is spinning fast. The great strength of this suddenly makes the rear tires spin very fast to lose traction and the rear of the car will be twisted.

 While in engineering braking, the driver pulled the hand brake when entering the corner, causing the rear tire locked up and lose traction and drift create movement. This technique is the only technique that can be used for the cars front wheel-drive (FWD). While the car to rear-wheel drive (RWD) has at least a dozen techniques. This is why more of pro drifter who use the cars rear wheel drive (RWD)

Here are some of the techniques commonly used when drifting.

HandBrake Drift
Stepped on the clutch and brake at the same hand-drawn to eliminate traction. When traction is lost, off the clutch and gas pedal is pressed while doing countersteering.

Power Slide
Requirement needed a car with powerful engine. The trick only with membejek depleted gas pedal and control the direction of the car with the steering wheel.

Shift Lock
Drifting by lowering the gear position is lower. This makes the tire lock, so traction is lost.

clutch Kick
Drifting with clutch kicking segingga lead to the transmission of shocks affecting the balance of the car. This would make the car slidding.

Braking Drift
The trick now stepped into the corner so that the weight of the brake pedal to move forward. Then the gas pedal directly dipijak rear tires lose traction so.

Feint / Scandinavian Flick
You do this by moving the weight of the vehicle to the outside by turning the steering wheel to the outside corner and suddenly turned the wheel so that the rear of the car shifts. These techniques such as how to swing the majority of racer.

Kansei / dynamic drift
Drifting by lifting the gas pedal at high speeds. This happens because when the accelerator is lifted weights move from back to front.

When the drift has been created to perform the correct technique, then the next to be done is to keep the car under control. For this one required the expertise of the driver in controlling the combination of gas and the steering wheel.

Basic techniques Drifting

Basic techniques Drifting



 
Drifting technique is done by letting slip the rear tires with a larger flow than the front tires. This usually occurs when a car driven at high speed, and then been turned without slowing down the car. If the drifting techniques performed improperly, could cause the car spun and lost control. Therefore, the speed and angle of the bend must be taken accurately.
