Yes, DoLuck is your best source for drifting. ****, every caravan he tends to drift away from the group. So there goes the celphone ringing every 2 minutes.,,for directions.

I know theres no such thing as drifting parts I posted that already

i wanted performance parts to make my car handle drifting more
and pep boys suck if you need stock parts they never have it
and if you order it they take like a week to get it

well thanks for not helping

"using my dads car for a while thats all" First off drifting is not recomended on the streets 2nd using your dads car is got to be the lamest thing. and if you not a kid then you must be a infant.

People be realistic
im not drifting in the street
i never drifted in my dads car and never have tried
i used my dads car to go to college thats all
We drift up at the Canyons and its somewhat safe
theres a bunch of car meets up there
and we try to keep it safe
I just turned 18 I've been driving WITH a license for a year now
and im not a 34 year old using his dads car but that would be
this is my first year in college
took me about 2 years two find this rx7 and i got it because i wanted something diffrent, more like a challenge
Im going to fix this car for the sport
and I was not asking a noob question the question was simple
if there was a store near my location that anyone know that sells performance parts for rx7's
if no one knew one or there isn't one a simple no would of been fine
and i would of just ordered my parts of the net
people misunderstood the question and most of you people asume the worst too much

Psshhhh!

Dude, get some seat time first, then start asking questions. Check out solo2.com or type "track time" "HPDE" or "open track" in your favorite internet search site.

You need seat time. I repeat, YOU NEED SEAT TIME!

When you learn how to write, let me know and so you can borrow my pet DoLuck to you. He is a good bitch.

please dont crash in azusa, i would come kill personally! 1st learn about the rotary, 2nd learn every aspect of the car and handling characteristic, cars capabilities and potential. 3rd get use to the car, 4th learn the road, practice the road (not drifiting), practice drifting in parking lots until you understand drifting and control of your car. Also just dont drive off of San Gabriel Canyon Rd, or drive into a canyon wall.

o0o if want parts, you can try jhpusa down in San Gabriel

We drift up at the Canyons

:
So there's a track up in the canyons, right? cause you aren't drifting on the street, so there must be a track up there?

Or maybe where you live they don't call canyon roads "streets"? Hmm?

Ask Andrewdruiz for suspension parts. He likes to keep them safely stored all over the 71 fwy. He's also a very good mountain driver and instructor. Just make sure you bring a big bottle of Pepto Bismol for him. He gets the bubble guts and sometimes the mud butt.
If the cops show up, he likes to trick them by telling them hes up there racing. He's quite the sneaky fellow!
