touge literally translates to "mountain"

 

Well I definatly dont recommend anyone whos new to drift to go practice on a mountain. Thats just friggin nuts.

Can anyone here drift a second gen without the rear toe eliminators? I've been tryin. Its hard. I've just been practicing using the side brake for the moment then as the rear comes around dumping the clutch at high revs. Damn thing just wont stay kicked out.

 

try using shittier tires.

actually, i have no idea what you would do, I'm just posting so I can use smileys.

 

I was in Japan Last month for a good 3weeks and got to see some drifting.. I also got to find out the pros and the cons about drifting in Tokyo's streets versus in the Mountains(Akagi-San). Well in the city, you got the cops, although they don't do much but just blow there horn until everyone leaves. THEN the put barriers up so you can't drift no more! As for the Mountains, no cops to worry about although they have been adding Anti-drift compound to the road surfaces, alittle raised meadian in the road, and form of a speedbump. Then you got those curbs that come out of nowhere and bite the lower A-arm and the the crap out of it! Save drifting for a parkinglot or a roadcousre, do not try to be a Takumi.. Although funny story the guy that bent his lower A-arm had a panda bear 86, and he was doing very well then my friend went for a ride he oversteered.........

 

i have a stock rear end no toe eliminators and my car difts all day long but i also have a turboed chevy 350 on alcohol wit 20 psi so that helps ive broke like 3 rears

 

wow.ive always wanted to learn how to drift.im always heavy footed though on the fd and plus its rwd.when i had my stratus(believe it or not)(fwd)i could slide sideways and ebrake the **** out of it.

 

Hey Skunks, you still gonna take me "Togue" racing while I'm in Honolulu?? 2 more weeks!

 

whoa u comming to hawaii, i did not know that (either that or i totally forgot). i dont race/drift in the mountains cuz im not good enuf but I do know some people that do. I'm sticking to parking lots untill i get good enuf. Let me know when your comming and I'll hook something up.

 

hehehehehe, dude..........I'm so drunk ritght NOW~~~~!!!!!! Tijuana is a ABASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just accidently vomited in my friend's Parejnts Mercedes SUV (ouit the window) but it's ok, I cleaned it up with the hose when I got to my house (his brother picked us up from the border............

Anyways ,yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm coming to Honululu in 2 weeeks!!!! I won't be drunk though so DON'T WORRY!! eheehehehhhe....here's that thread that we talked about so long ago just to give you some memory anyways, heheheheeh: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ghlight=skunks

Sorry I'm not sober in my reply but I saw that you messaged me in the AOL thing so I answered, donnnn't worry, I won't be drun kn when we meet in Honululu!!!! Look forward to meeting the WHOLE HAWAII CREW if they're down ...........TTYL MAN!!!

 

d1gp is in august @ Irwindale speedway in CaLI.

 

holy crap, im not taking you around in my fd if your gonna throw up all over the place haha. i think all the fd guys in hawaii will be having a cruise in about 2 weeks so it works out nicely

 

As you can tell I was pretty damn wasted when I typed that out, sorry for being so explicit about the details...

Anyways, I just talked to my dad and it looks like we'll be in Honolulu at the end of our trip (August 8th) instead of the beginning (July 28th). It actually works out a lot better that way though as the 8th happens to fall on Friday instead of Monday See if you can have them hold off the drift meet until then! heheh I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Cheers! Jason

 

how long you gonna be here for?

 

Yup Kuku/Mark is drifting at these events. I'll dig up some video of him. He was the first legal sanctioned drifter in Minnesota. I spoke to him at a party and he talked about getting drifting started here. So I did.

Here's Mark in action. He's the second Hachi Roku with the 86 on the door.
