Best place to learn to drift
#26
I've been wanting to do this also. I'm just too broke to buy tires and all that stuff. But I'm down to come hang out and check it out so I can get a general idea of what I need to do to my car.

Uh oh, I went gone and done it now...
Q: How do you fit 8 tires in an FC?
A: 2 in shotgun, 1 just behind the seats, 3 lashed together with the hatch open, and 2 on the roof.
Mustang wheels -- check. Picked them up from a pretty cool kat as well (he and his brother have one of the more beautiful FBs I've seen recently).

For the record I did have a towel under the roof tires and a 10,000 lb strap wrapped around about them about three ways. I had it lashed through the windows and Duke of Hazarded my way in and out the window. I will admit I wasn't quite ballsy enough to drive it on the freeway like this. I ended up taking surface streets all the way from near Dodger stadium back to Pasadena.
Oh and if you think that's funny wait till you seem my 100% authentic RE-Amemiya wing supports with a 2x4 up there in place of the wing so I can strap my surfboard in place (can't get the straps far enough apart otherwise due to the short roofline...)
No thanks. I'd rather keep my car in one piece and myself out of jail. Coolness is debatable but it's tough to argue with the fact it requires substantial skill and teaches folks some significant things about throttle control (which is the part I'm looking for).

LMAO!!! You are truly a thug in every sense of the word haha. I gotta see pics of that 2x4 with the board mounted on top.
So you got all those tires and rims for 150????????????
Ready to go spin them pony wheels with your GM motor huh? In an import? Damn you have all sorts of stuff going on in your car haha

Id have 3 behind the seats, 5 in the trunk and 2 in the passenger seat. My rear hatch is wide open , I used tie downs to make sure wheels dont fly out..

Yep. Couple wheels had minor lip bends and one has an actual portion of the lip missing (hence the welding I mentioned). Still I'm not complaining because for the purpose they should be awesome. Just hoping the old set of tires doesn't delam instantly when I put some heat into them.
I might be able to stop by at Halloween but it's unlikely the car will be ready.

So my car is pretty damn close to ready...
-New clutch broken in: check
-Brakes: check
-Accusump: check
-Spare wheels/tires: check
-Almost done with the new swaybar setup...
Who wants to come drifting? Daniel, you feel like coming out of retirement to coach for a bit?
