I think your speedo cable is hanging and should be tied up.

you would be surprised how many people dont properly know how to do donuts, you gotta pop the clutch to break rear traction, once the car starts to rotate then you can counter steer and keep it going with throttle movement = beautiful counter steer donuts.

You'd be suprised how many people just crank it and dump the clutch and spin enough to grin from ear to ear. Rather than trying to do 'drift' donuts because that's how 'drifters' do donuts to learn how to drift, but other people just don't give a **** and are only after fun...

c'mon, GTFO, Pop the clutch? Throttle movement? COUNTER STEER DONUTS. I think you Mean 'Mad Tyte JDM donuts'. Go watch the Drift Bible Again...

When your tires are spinning and your going in circles, thats donuts/cookies, but you must be smiling/laughing too!

Good job!

^so what.
i agree with nick d.
before drifting was invented there were donuts... so i think its kind of lame that people who drift are going to say that "that isn't the proper way to do donuts" :gtfo:

Saying it's not hard at all is an understatement. stock na's have no torque so it's not like doing donuts in a V8 or anything that has torque, plus they don't even have an LSD

I'll stop you there to save yourself from your own ignorance.

To start with, learn to drive.

Second, when I first read your statement, I knew you were a little insane. And assuming that you're insane, you'll say insane things. But trying to talk an insane person out of saying insane things is, in itself, insane. So that's why I'm going to burst your bubble - I'm a little crazy.

Don't even begin to feed us the bullshit and general misconception that having anything short of a stock TII makes it difficult to do something as simple and adolescent like a dounut. N/A's are perfectly capable little motors. Also, the lack of an LSD is by itself a stupid argument to make; most of the clutch type, and definitely all of the viscous units are worn out by now, which reduces them to a fancy-sounding open diff.

Having owned five N/A cars, all with clutch-type LSDs of varying mileage, I can say for certain that a dounut is hands-down NOT a problem with the power we're given.
Having driven a base model with far, far, farrrr over 200k on the original motor sporting low-compression AND an open diff? Dounuts are completely easy.

If you're having problems, the problem is you. Operator error, I think they call it.

So don't sit here and play a lie as the truth to a bunch of people who probably know better than you like a little bench-racer fan-boi without first knowing the facts and having some experience.



Now, to the original poster... I love the color of the car, but hate the wheels. But I'm positive you don't really like them either... Go for the A-package five-spokes. Those are decent...or...if you want stock wheels, but a great look... 'Vert wheels.


Here is my car to show you just how awesome they look. :-P
