Okay guys, as you guys can see.
I am a new forum mate and a ida-racer.
Just wondering if you guys feel that Mazda RX-7 FD/FC is a good choice?
I got a RX-7 FC3S but i felt that I should have gotten a FC ): Also, i kept 'kissing' walls at Mt.Usui. ):

New to the game I take it?

FD's a generally good choice for beginners; It's an all rounder. The FC is similar, with an advantage on Akagi DH.

And if you have trouble keeping away from walls, it usually means you're heading in too fast or your lining is awkward. Slow down more, and watch some Time attack videos on youtube to get an idea of how you should take the turn.

Yea, im a new player.
Think im gona change my car from FD to FC.
I kept trying to do APEX but yea, it still hits the wall sometimes.

Well, even if you have to slow down more, stay away from the wall as much as possible. When you hit it, your acceleration bogs down for a period of time depending on the severity of the wallhit. The last thing you want is to get that in Usui; your top gear actually in negative accel because you couldnt keep your car away from the walls.

Geez, think im sticking with my FD.
Anyway ya, doing a sharp turn/ drift in Usui, do you do the 'eraser' technique or do you brake->turn->pedal?

Both actually. But do the machine a favor and dont spam eraser like mad; it takes its toll on the shifter. ( Nobody wants a dead shift knob now do we?)

Eraser functions essentially as a turning aid. When you downshift and your steering wheel is at an angle, you will notice the car will start to lean more towards that angle.

Generally you would want to brake to the proper speed, turn the wheel in, and once you're in the middle of the turn you can floor the gas pedal, though that varies with the turns. Holding your brakes in more will do nothing but cause understeer, since you basically lock your front steering wheels.

I did a complete brake-turn just now. :/

Wait what? You have a laptop or something next to a machine right now?
By the Gods I wish I had that kind of resource when I play.

Lol no.
What i meant by just now was 1hour ago. :/

Ah -.-;;
Cannot make it.
