Also if you've got marginal (which it sounds like) experience driving a RWD sportcar, take it out to an autocross to get the feel for it before you toss it around the neerest sharp bend.

P.S. I don't endorse drifting, it's just a poor excuse to waste tires.
But its fun!!!

it is fun, in moderation and not on the street. I like to attend the autoX fundraisers and such we have here because it is all fun not really competion.

Dude, if people start drifting FB's the price of them is gonna go WAY up. and that ******* sucks.

Just look at what people are paying for piece of **** old ae86s these days


I shudder to think what's going to happen to the price of FC's once that retarted initial D movie comes out here.............

My second favorite thing about 7's is how cheap they are to buy.
