Drift damage to my FC
 

Found a wall at the last Tucson Desert Drift... Wall won.

OMG, that really sucks man, I'm sorry. I've always wanted to learn and try drifting but that's exactly what I've been scared I'd do. Again sorry, but other than the damage how'd you do at the event?

hope the 10th annie police dont flame ya. sorry man. battle damage happens. i doubt this will keep you from the track.

dont you get extra points for kissing the wall?

Screw the 10th ANNI police. Its my car and I can do what I want with it....:D

Nah, wont keep me off the track, just will keep me a little farther away from the wall.

that sucks man ur still goin too drift her right? s4 tails are ceap atleast and a pri-bar hammer some bondo new rear molding little toucgh up paint and some artistic skill and u will be fine

dude, sorry about that, sux really, but I'm sure that you'll be out there again soon enough.

Damn walls, just jump outta nowhere and get ya in the ass :)

yea kindah like trees!!!!!!!:cursing:

This is why I'm looking for a beater to learn drifting in. Or a big open parking lot or such. But a beater would be preferable, because if I kiss a wall, I shrug, duct tape pieces back on, and continue.

Sorry man...I hope you can fix it without it being too costly.. do you have any more vids for us of you in action?

Ahhh.... That's OK, looks like there was putty in there anyways. :)

O yeah, racing is expen$ive. I mean drifting.

ya play ya pay

ohh the tree didnt have too do with drifting and that incident totaled a 89 ford probe involved wet grass (cant stop) ditch (got into it couldnt yank the e brake so my front wouldnt hit (most expensive part on a FF) a big tree in the ditch (they dont like too get out of the way do they) and leaning too adjust the radio on my first day on my license grr (leaned pulled steering wheel over turn in ditch then somtin like sh** sh** sh** thud at about 35 too zero seat belt cracked my floating rib but thats bout it and it brightened me up (better to reck that and learn too be more careful so i dont reck the seven doing somtin stupid

In the winter time here there is an ice track that is 3.1 miles long.

Best way to learn to drift... and the cheapest.

Tires last ALOT longer and when you hit the "walls" they are just snowpiles. ;)

I've only driven my 85 there though...

ill sell you a s4 rear bumper + set of taillights for cheap =]

that'll buff right out

sweet

dorifto damage impresses all the ladies

any pics from the event????

Damn man, that sucks. It's how you learn though, experience. Hope you get her back together straight.

I'm not directing this at you, nor am I trying to be insensitive. But I just don't comprehend the thrill of the whole drifting craze. Rims and body panels aren't cheap, and the ratio of damage incurred during attempted drifts to damage incurred in drag or road racing is probably quite high. Why you'd go out and get involved with something that has such a high probability of hurting your car. In my mind, it'd be like taking my convertible that I've worked so hard on, out railroad track jumping or something...you KNOW something's gonna get screwed up.

Like you said, it's your car, you can do what you want...I can't figure that out, though.

I'm def. with RR on this one- ^

its a thrill, some people like the feeling of controlling a car driving sideways at 70mph. others dont i guess

i haven't tried it, but i imagine its the mere thrill of driving like a maniac (but in control if you're above amateur). if there's one thing i'd love to do, it'd drive balls-out. driving balls out would include breaking the rear tires lose in a turn. it seems fun, but like i've said, i haven't tried. i live in city suburbs, and there doesnt seem to be too many safe, legal places. some people actually care about their driving record (or just cant afford tickets:)).

WHO WAS IT A WHILE BACK THAT SAID PEOPLE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR AES!!!!!!!!!!

Hah, consider the AE police here. Nah, like you said it's your car, do with as you please. It's my choice if I garage mine every night and read it a bed time story.
:D

I saw a nice set of AE taillights on ebay yesterday for a good price. Might pick them up while you're at it?
