are you sure on this? cuz i know for a fact that there were 3000 10th anniversary editions made. 1500 were sent over here to the states. and i believe the rest were sent to europe, australia, and some stayed in japan. they were made in japan, so it would hard to believe if they didn't keep some. just a thought

Well, my biggest difficulty is the fact that I cant go back to first gear unless I'm at almost a dead stop(synchros are bad). So Im always in second gear while drifting. So sometimes if I'm not going fast enough I will have to rev and clutch dump to continue the slide.
There was someone else on this forum who drifts. He was pretty good from my understanding. he didnt have the DTSS bushings either.
Thing is, when I'm in my car its hard. Its a task to drift. I like it. When I'm in an s13 (I kinda have one...long story) its a cake walk. I dunno, I like the difficulty I guess.

some people still argue that its not THE fastest... of course its not... its not about speed, its about skill and technique
*although looking good while doing so is a plus
some people just dont care about anything but getting faster

some people drift without bumpers dont wanna scratch the ride

Well having a fresh tranny always helps. Well FC is not the best for sure, but you can still learn and improve your skill. I pull more in a S 13 but then again it is not my car so I always hold back a little. I have to say I am still more comfortable in my 89 GTU and willing to try crazier **** in it. When I am in S13 I look better but I am not taking nearly as much risk as I would in my own car. Getting a S13 coupe next.

Jerk: Ya sorry my mistake your right, they didn't make those in japan so I guess that would make it a non 10th but still a T2.

Are you on drugs? I have slanty Chinese eyes and even I can see it is a R32 in front in the vid.

The car in front is an R32, and the video/chase car is an fc3s. Look at the gauges....
