As of Yesterday:








It is a little rough around the edges but with some more love it will be heading in the right direction.

Soon to come is fresh white trim, color matched sport spoiler, and S5 tails.

 

Looks good. You should post this over at nopistons.com. I am sure that some of the people over there would love to see it.

 

SOOOO super sweet. I can't explain how good it looks in person.

 

That is a bad *** T2... where did you have it painted flat black? I'm in love!

 

Erik is the master of DIY painting. He did it all himself.

 

jeez that man has skills!

 

Hawt.

I miss my FC

 

OH snap... it's that one parking lot we went too, before our little escapade at alki, that was a great night, looking great by the way

 

What are you waiting for?

 

Yeah, brotha'. It's been a LONG time. When are you going to get another RWD and come drifting with us?

 

haha, when i get out of college dude, it's going to be another FD, i'll let you know in 2 years, lol

 

Free time haha.

Working 35 hours a week and doing a double major leaves me with very little time unfortunately.

 

Erik, is that on the upper parking at sears in shorline?????

 

looking nice man, now paint it!

 

Shhhh! Lets not talk about that.

 

...

 

Why not??? Drifting at Sears is funny as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We want to draw as little attention to that as possible, because it is fun and want it to continue.

 

lol

 

true some manager there could own an RX and be on this web site. Then he would come out and make you leave. Only to get his and do the same thing

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Shorline PD could be monitoring this site to catch the very vandals putting down those ugly rubber marks on there black top.

I just thought it was funny that i recognized it.

 

 

Not really...I overheard a co-worker get the cops attention to some kids doing donuts in the SCC parking lot there with a Mustang (major ones, tire marks are probably still there) and kids were busted on site. Cops like to hang out in parking lot frequently. I'd recommend playing it smart and doing recon run first. No matter how big the lot may be and how few people are around, it only takes one dips**t to spoil any amount of fun. Especially if your stupid enough to hang around for half an hour after burning of all your tread like a jackass...

 

if youre worried about cops it doesn't really matter around here if you drift on a street or in a parking lot, if a cop catches you in the middle of a huge sideways slide, you will get a reckless driving tickett regaurdless of weather its on a street or in a out of the way parking lot that is empty. Parking lots attract a lot of attention imo.

try this sometime

What I like to do is go out late night on some good windy public roads with some friends and have everyone have a walkie talkie* in the car then have a lead car go out in front (not drifting) and tell the people behind if its clear or not to take the next corner in a full out powerslide, this is prolly the safest (regaurding cops and other drivers) way I have found to go drifting so far.
