A huge thing that I would want to see is what it looks like to make a sponsorship proposal deck in a drifting atmosphere, I literally just purchased creative cloud to commit to learning how to make my sponsorship deck and learn how to promote myself. Was sitting down to learn as I saw this video pop up in my feed. I want to represent myself well and struggle to know where to start. I know my driving can speak for itself but like everyone says, no one cares about the driving if you aren't marketable. I'm very new to the world of sponsors and just want to make sure I do it right. This video is a gift to the competitive drifting industry so thank you!!
What I would love to learn next: I can’t stop thinking about caster… As someone with a fully open-diff Subaru rally car, it seems as though dialling in more caster could go a long way towards more front end grip. But I’m sure I’m missing some valuable info. Thanks for these vids!
Great video! 💯 I totally agree-it's not just the drifting or the content itself that sells, it's you as a person. Viewers connect with authenticity and personality, which is why talking videos get such great engagement. It’s all about building that personal connection and showing people who you really are. Thanks for sharing this insight!
Would LOVE to know more about grip suspension set up w your products... So far the only helpful run downs I have found are from Motoiq /Mike Kojima.. Having a car full of fdf gear, I'd love to know that I have adjusted my car in the best manner.. Knowing what each of the adjustments does to dial in the feel and control of the car... Great video btw 👌
I respect and admire Josiah so much more then a lot of other drivers/creators due to how he operates as a person and business owner everything he does it out of the box and well thought threw this mans just different ‼️🔥
id like to see your thoughts n ideas on the effects of ball joint placement n what effects it has, for context from above looking down on the spindle an the spindle was completely centered on the ball joint an what it does compared to normally arching around the ball joint, wouldnt it no longer arch but instead pivet in place? if more context is needed then think of removing the L shape from the spindles ball joint mounting location so the wheel bearing assembly (like a C6) would be more directly over the ball joint n not off set like in most factor setups because of the top n bottom ears the ball joint bolts to wouldnt be used n the wheel would no longer swing but rotate in place? i dont think wa i just explained made any sense
There is NO information out there on this!! I genuinely want someone to explain how shock settings affect how a car transitions/rotates. I understand that there are other big factors such as weight placement, weight distribution, alignments, and other things that probably play a way bigger role on rotation characteristics but I want to get educated about the shocks itself. I'm thinking it could be a useful tool to setup how the car rakes to angle during aggressive initiations or transitions. Please do a video on this! I've spent hrs trying to figure this out on my own car and on the sim but can't come up with a clear answer.
I would like to learn about bump steer and roll center, another thing I’d like to learn about is side bite and forward bite and how tuning your suspension affects both these things, and when to prioritize one over the other for specific opponents, tracks etc
I’d like to learn how properly set up a coilover start to finish on car. From pulling the spring to compressor the shock adjusting for rubbing to spring rate etc
Love represents your stuff, and this was a clear and concise video. Straight to the point, no fluff. Basic videos and content do well. Just gotta be consistent. Lastly, that trailer was amazing to see in person on Driftweek. Building of spare vette parts was brilliant. Keep it up!!!!
Great video with some helpful tips on sponsorship. It would be interesting to learn more about shock settings and rebound control/ the advantages of 2way dampers.
0:44 I have a few questions. All in relation to a drift car. 1. Which is more beneficial in drifting, squat or anti-squat ? 2. (roll axis inclination) roll centers (R.C.) are at different heights, which is more beneficial for drifting?--> high R.C in rear, low R.C. In front, or low R.C. In rear high R.C. In front? 3.how are motion ratios and leverage ratios related to each other? And how can they be calculated?
I'm currently working as a mechanic and in the future want to work in a raceshop, so although I have a general knowledge of this stuff I want to learn more about how side bite/forward bite, trackwidth and toe work, along with how each component works and affects a race/drift car and how each adjustment affects them. I'm just about to start binge-watching all of your more informative videos to try to learn more about this stuff and hopefully improve those aspects on my drift car
Very helpful video, as I am get into drifting myself and the business side to having a racing program. I want to learn about when to use a sway bar in the front and or rear as it relates to drifting, and also spring rates and their purposes.
A overview of how the different spring rates vs damping settings and how they affect response, do I need a stiffer spring or just more damping. How to setup for better self steering, every adjustment I make seems to make it more touchy and have less self steering.
Nerding out about suspension is one of my favorite things about drifting. I've been driving an s chassis for a few years with several different iterations of cut knuckles, adapters, car height, tire compounds and alignments. I would really like to learn the benefits of a more engineered steering setup vs limitations of modified stock parts at a grassroots level, and how one or the other benefits non competition vehicle setup. Thanks!
What is over centering and how to stop it. Stock tie rods vs after market tie rods and if they stop it. Are lock stops needed to stop shaking at full lock. what would stop shaking at full lock
I want to learn how to choose the correct spring weight and ARB. Plus roll centre correction and ride height (taking into consideration control arm angles and the effects it has).
I want to learn more about motion ratios on double wishbone front suspension and ther angle relationship and effects of differing angles and the results on the road/track . Also more about anti dive in total and that subject 😅🎉
One thing I still don't fully understand about suspension is the effects of caster angle. If you can figure out a way to present this, I think it would be pretty cool. A display for anti-roll bars would also be pretty neat, like the motion ratio of it, or the effect of different stiffnesses.
I change my coilover cuz i don’t feel real difference changing the clicks and now I bought a coilover feal 442. Could you help me how i begin setup of my coilover to feel difference?
I want to know more about how your suspension setup and side bite correlate. I've heard a narrower track width and larger tire side wall make for more side bite but I'd like to hear your take on the subject.
I'd love to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the front/rear suspension layouts of the most common drift chassis' (e36/e46/350z/is300,s14)
I have a mild angle kit on my HR 350Z that someone set up for me, and I really like it. However, if I were to replace any parts, I’m not sure how to achieve the same angle, camber, or caster. I know it’s hard to get everything perfectly technical, but I want to learn the basics of setting up my drift Z without professional help
I want to be able to drive my car with the most amount of feed back in my steering. How to I achieve this. Easy knowledge. How to I learn & earn knowledge. FDF, have the know how. If I had FDFs new Ackerman diagram I would be able to further more my skill to know how to improve my steering on track and knowledge on when and where to change my setup to the finest detail.

I wanna learn about side-bite, dynamic/progressive toe. What difference does a wider trackwidth make in rear vs a narrower one.

The biggest thing i would love to learn is how caster effects driving and what it completely does with that little tool
Doing biiiiiiiig initiations also helps sometimes 🤪 lol
Thank you for ur support on my program and educating the community on so many fronts!
Can you go over spring rates/damper in drifting?
Beat me to it

It was really cool running into you guys at PRI... personally I'd love to learn more about anti dive and roll center
good job on the video... very informative

I want to learn more about Ackerman/king pin incline and how caster really affects self steer
Great lift kits ! Running strong for 3 years now ! 👌🏻💪🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️

We are always here ahhaha
I want to learn more about anti squat and how it affects side bite and forward bit. I guess I need to finish up my sponsorship proposal 😅
Very helpful video, as I am get into drifting myself and the business side to having a racing program. I want to learn about when to use a sway bar in the front and or rear as it relates to drifting, and also spring rates and their purposes.
Going to put in some work to get sponsors soon, thanks for the great video!
absolutely love this video. It was such a pleasure meeting you at mondello. Hopefully not the last 🙏🏻
A overview of how the different spring rates vs damping settings and how they affect response, do I need a stiffer spring or just more damping.
How to setup for better self steering, every adjustment I make seems to make it more touchy and have less self steering.
Thanks for your continued content, FDF Team 🤙

New to learning drifting set up, be nice to learn setting up toe in/out and tyre grip set up, tyre side bite for example
I change my coilover cuz i don’t feel real difference changing the clicks and now I bought a coilover feal 442. Could you help me how i begin setup of my coilover to feel difference?
I would like to learn about how adding shock travel changes the motion ratio
Side bite vs forward bite. I'm so confused on it.
I d'like to know how to calculate soring rates
I want to know more about how your suspension setup and side bite correlate. I've heard a narrower track width and larger tire side wall make for more side bite but I'd like to hear your take on the subject.
Learning how side bite and forward bite are gained and lost. I don’t understand how each work and what to adjust
I would like to learn about spring rates
I'd love to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the front/rear suspension layouts of the most common drift chassis' (e36/e46/350z/is300,s14)
I want to learn about to how to adjust my suspension and Atkinson or however it’s written
I have a mild angle kit on my HR 350Z that someone set up for me, and I really like it. However, if I were to replace any parts, I’m not sure how to achieve the same angle, camber, or caster. I know it’s hard to get everything perfectly technical, but I want to learn the basics of setting up my drift Z without professional help
Would love to see a bit on anti squat and weight distribution, does it matter that much?
I want to know about rebound and steering angle
I WANNA LEARN ABOUT ROLL CENTER
This video has helped remind me to keep drifting a hobby so I don't have to do all that crap lmao
Would like to know about Sway bar type/style compared to thickness in terms of chassis setup for more speed and control
I want to be able to drive my car with the most amount of feed back in my steering. How to I achieve this. Easy knowledge. How to I learn & earn knowledge. FDF, have the know how.
If I had FDFs new Ackerman diagram I would be able to further more my skill to know how to improve my steering on track and knowledge on when and where to change my setup to the finest detail.
Shock dampening. Shock valving. How doesn't it effect grip, body roll.
i really need a crash course in spring rates and differences for different scenarios?
I would love to know how to determine what spring ratio is best for you. Is it the chassis, the track, feel. I’m lost 🥲
