R-X-R: Haha nope, rims aren't rented, all of them have been owned. I was also surprised how much smoke I got with 65psi in the rears.
slowgxl: I have done that and it did help a bit, but it just doesn't lock as well as my buddies 240.
Something a buddy and I will be working on hopefully soon.

A buddy of mine (UMWorks) does videography and he wanted to shoot my car, again.
I got a nice fat pay check and was ready to pull the trigger, but fall semester is coming up soon. Need to save more monies which gives me more time to learn the car.

Someone suggested that my cable is worn out and keeps stretching out more and more. I guess I'll look into that before I get new pads, the ones on my car are still fresh.

Clutch is definitely in, it locks great when I'm running 205 on the my 15" stockies. But it just won't lock with my 225 on 17s. Maybe I just need to flick the car harder. But yah my buddy finished the teaser and sent it to me to look at for the first time, even I got excited haha. Need to add a few things before we do the final video.

I agree with that statement. I think my first two drift events I used my e-brake. But honestly, i haven't used it at all this season. Although I haven't been fortunate enough to be on a track (just stupid *** parking lot events) but I mainly just flick the car and clutch kick. And all my friends do the same. Only time I use my e-brake is when i'm in the mountains and go around hairpins. Especially since you're na, you'll scrub to much speed using the ebrake. And when we have third gear corners, I just flick the car and floor it, it's the only way I can carry enough speed to last through the corner... and I'm turbo. Although I am completely stock and only pushing 4 psi.

Tyler: I think you're right, I just need more flick and less e-brake. Using e-brake is my "comfort zone" so I tend to use it alot. Needa step away from it and try something else.
JC: Haha not even, glad you decided to put that lip on your car. Those rolling shots of your car I saw a while ago were siiick!
For those of you that were interested...I'm selling my G35 Rear Mudguards. Hit me up if you want them!
