I already have all the parts I need to fix it, it will be fixed by this weekend.

I understand all the people that dont comprehend drifting, but its a rush to me... I cant explain it. Kind of like my addiction to rotaries.

No worries though, I bought another FC this weekend to drift, so I wont keep banging up my 10th....

Video will be forthcoming, it was caught on tape!!!

Good man! Always get back on the horse when it bucks you.

Drifting is fun. I do it w/ somewhat of a beater...It's a 94' T-bird, its very light in the back and i can break loose like its nothing, sssooo much fun. My mom wrecked the passanger side door about 3 months ago...she's lucky I had just gotten the 7, or i would be uber pissed. I drift whenever i get the chance in empty parking lots, I'm w/ a few other guys who are pretty into it hardcore....I went tonight in fact...nothing like scarring the **** out of a rustang b/c your coming at them 40mph sideways...:-D

Haha. I already hooked him up with another 10AE tail light.

I must say that it was REALLY impressive to watch. He was right on the wall around the oval and rather than get out of the drift he just kept pushing it. and *tap* He was even still going after the tap.

Haha, the more I learn about drifting the less I want to take my turbo car back out once it's done.

Drifting really shows the potential of the car and driver. Drag is easy to do. A Mustang mite take a Trueno in a straightaway, but how bout a track. And dont say the Trueno is fake in Initial D. If u read all the Super Streets, their is a Japanese guy who drove a 180hp Trueno who did everything that was done in the anime. He beat R34s-Supras. If you can't drift, then o well, jus dont talk sh*t on people dat can.

Well Those are crazy cars the begin with.

A trueno on the streets usually can't hold a candle to the other cars like FC,240's, etc....

The trueno is more of a starter car than real performer.

J, You guys should develop big bumper gaurd that bolt onto your cars. That way it won't hurt your car lol.

Some people get a rush from completely different things! If thats your thing, do it!

J-Rat: Good luck, and may it be the last body repair you have to worry about for a long time!

ever stick your hand in a garbage disposal, and have your friend flick the switch, and pull out your hand in the nick of time.... now, that's a thrill!

The more RX-7s that get wiped out now, the more mine will be worth in the future

No, but I've gone on two wheels on my side in my SUV taking a sharp turn at 60+ MPH just to land on my wheels, slam on the brakes and come to a swerving stop. No damage, didn't roll, didnt hit anyone (thank god) but man oh man, thrill of a lifetime. I was so pumped with adrenaline, fear, etc, I almost had a heart attack. I was shaking for like an hour.

amen to stupid **** that you somehow get away with!


I've never seen or heard of these "ae police" that you people are talking about...

but as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather see an AE with drift damage than an ae that never saw above 3000 rpm.

nice damage there!

my friend who has an FC hit a fence while drifting. he took off his bumper and took one of those markers and put 'real battle damage' and arrows pointing down on his hood to where his bumper used to be lol.

hachis are hard to learn drift on

dont hate just because its something new or different to you. i like the feel of my FC when i haul *** thru a corner and feel those G forces pushing/pulling on me. i also like when the back end slides out nicely thru a turn too.
