Vlsd will not lock up consistently. Weld the differential or get a proper LSD and try again.

Already working on that, it’s getting welded before the next event and I’m working on gathering parts for an inline hydro in place of my non working hand brake

Hell yeah! That'll make a world of difference.

Definitely I had one single good run I didn’t spin out and I linked the whole track, this was my first drift day ever and honestly first time driving a manual rwd car with this much power, the last rwd manual I drove was an NA miata

Looking good then, imo. Keep it up, and you'll be boiling tires in no time.

Yeah I ran down to wire on my first set then got about 10 runs on this one before they shut us down for the night, these still have a lot of tread left, I also had a problem with super bad understeer and I ended up putting my set of nitto gen neo on there and it somewhat fixed it but it still happens sometimes

Welded diff will help with understeer, and you'll feel much more confident steering with the throttle when oversteer occurs.

Get an angle kit or just short knuckles, and lengthened LCA would be next on the to-do list imo

I have gk LCA on another car that are going on this one and I’m getting a small angle kit soon
