I have had multiple 240SX's some with SR's some not , 2 AE86's , 1 being Turbo with GZE bottom . Plus my FC



I prefer teh 240's chassis over the FC's because without rear toe elminators the FC feels shady when sideways . I'm just too lazy to change them .


Maybe i'll use my freinds rear toe elminators since he sold his car .... I dunno but drifitng yea ... I do that

Die I mentino I have been to Japan lol ... No seriously I have

I've had this car for a little over a month. I just went to my third set of rear tires, and I'm into my second set of front ones. Yeah, I slide sideways just a little bit

(Everyone should get the deal I did. I bought the car and it came with 4 other rims! I have a drift set(junkyard tires) and a daily driving set(KDWs)

Drifting is fun it scares the people watching so much that cops now stage at my drift spots come close to tagging a sign but my TII steers away from them. Scares the crap out of my girl.

I am proud to say that I don't drift my FC because I don't have the money for tires!

Ehhh... I like to do it. I am still getting used to the DTSS though. I don't like the unpredictable snap. It seems strange that my non LSD Diff will do it. I play in construction sites where they build new houses. I did a couple donuts in this court and these kids that were like 12 thought I was crazy for spinning like that.

you'd think most people with an fc who know anything about it (near 50/50 weight ration from front to back tires) you can't go wrong with drifting in this car. I don't yet but I plan too when I feel my car is capable of doing so in a reliable manner

Ya what he said, I want to fix some things on my car, before I start drifting, I gotta get good at it in open areas before I start taking the corners, i dont wanna shatter my bodykit.

love it practice it on a couple back mountain rds that are really wide and go through some state game lands so there are no intersections driveways etc, parking lots and a couple turns on way too school everyday last yr (went around a couple feilds so u could see if anybody was a long way off) scared the **** out of my sis the one time i have a NA and on tight corners i do a clutch drop in second or just come in really hot and back of a little in the corner havent goten good enough too try a scandinavian flick on a rd still too erratic with it (plus i still havent cancelled out my dtss grr) but yea love it dont push it too hard and keep it pretty safe (on the mountain rds i jus drift a couple corners most i grip through dont feel like puttin my fc into a tree) somtimes pulling a U turn at a stop light with the e-brake when nobody is around (lost a cop like that he spun out of control and i took a side street lol) but yea im not really good but im gettin there and plus its a bone stock 87 base fc on rock hard tires but its fun lol

PS drifting is the fastest way through a turn but has a much lower exit speed so not good for most US racetracks with straits after turns but this is why it is used on touges because u have too go right into another turn also it is faster in a race style drift not a show drift a race style drift has a much less drastic angle barely dicernible from a grip driven type car unless paying close attention (this was a speach topic for my ap english class fun fun even got too show some vid clips it was cool lol)

I think its just a fad.. Try drifting a high HP car while roadracing, it won't work too well I prefer grip driving personally..

i would slightly disagree take the jgtc races in japan they use racing drifts in alot of corners on there tracks (but not all) and there cars are either 300 or 500 hp in the two top classes (hense jgtc 300 and jgtc 500) also my one freind drifted his 700 hp supra a bit at high speeds on exit ramps before he sold it. is it harder yes is there that slightly out of cantrol feeling when it slides yea thats part of the thrill and enjoyment but it can be faster at some areas but it can also be much slower on some areas too also i dont think it is a fad is there a ricer infringement popin up yea but they will all die out quickly after they bend there precious rims and bust up there precious bodykits but then the true inthusiasts will be left too develope the sport up too the next level
