AMEN. if you've got the car, why not use it?? i know i use my '89 GTU. i mean it's a beautiful car, and god knows i baby the hell out of it, but it'll get up and MOVE, and that's precisely what i usually do with it. not too hard, shift at5-6k, but still.... haulin' ***

anyways i think the point is, it's your car - do whatever you want with it. if somebody wants to tell you that you're an *** because you drift your AE, that's awesome - i wish i was there to see it. i wouldn't drift my 7 (not yet, at least), but then again.... it wasn't my 7, so do what you want!! this is getting pointless though, so i'm stopping .... i suck

Hey, the car will be fixed. My 10th AE definately suffers a bit more abuse then most, but I fix whatever I damage.

 

That sucks, J-rat....

Hey...... Yanno how you were wanting one of my cars once? Want to buy the AE I have left? Seriously....PM me if you want it. We can work something out.

 

PM sent

 

Yeah, I'm not even THAT bad. My car sees 8000rpms every time I drive it.

 

my ae only sees 3500.....im serious too...i shift around 3k or 3500 rpm ALL the time. i love her =P

 

I love mine too, but you seriously have to drive her hard once in a while for protective maintenance. I used to be like that when I first bought the car. But after reading a lot of threads on this forum I realized that revving it high actually does good for the engine; cleans out carbon and keeps the seals healthy. You need to redline her atleast once a week. if not more

 

Got the video yet?

 

Wow that sounds like some great fun

 

dDub thats just awesome man

good luck with the drift damage man, I can't wait to see the vid

 

The SUV almost but not quite rolling? Yah that was pimp and effing scary.

 

and you'll love it when your secondary injectors don't work and your engine has nice spots of thick crusty carbon on the inside. REDLINE IS HEALTHY. If you don't drive an RX-7 hard at least occastionally you are KILLING the engine.

 

As soon as I get the vid, I will post it for all to see.

 

Yeah, now its worth LESS that a regular S4 TII

 

J-rat is the drift master...

 

Only when the contest is seeing how many different things you can hit.

 

 

Well, there is a certain element of danger when you travel the speeds I do, sideways. But yes, I do have a tendency to hit things....

 

Yea, regarding redline, don't baby the engine. Mine was owned by 2 women drivers early in it's life. The 6th ports were completely seized up, I'm betting my secondaries are probably not in the best condition (I'll get them cleaned... sometime), and the inside was all carboned up when I tore it apart after it lost an apex seal at 120k miles.

Plus... what's the point of owning a sports car if you don't drive it hard every now and then?

man its really just somtin u gotta get into, tak ur car out onto a gravel road doin lik 45-50 an when the *** starts slidin sideways ull lik it too

 

Damn man, thats hardcore I know when you get into fights with those walls its a fight you will never win I hit a few walls when I was younger an have done some major damage to my car be happy that was only a few scratches :P:

 

There you go Icemark

 

Sliden the rear is great fun. That small amount of damage can be fixed in no time. If you race you should learn how to do minor body repairs (.....bondo.....paint) You and Dale Jr. keepin' bondo in business. You should get a medal for your efforts.

Seriously, you racing is really cool. Keep it up, win a few times and soon a sponser will pick up the cost of those small little booboos.
