Question:

What are the rectangular cut outs? I have the same front end but don't have those rectangles next to the position lights.

It is a gtst and it was on mobara drifting. I never noticed it before and I had this dvd for like 2yrs. I saw it and was like "oh s***," rewinded and paused it, then snapped a cell pic.

I posted it wondering if you knew about it, guess not. Its from the dvd "JDM INSIDER: The kanto tuners" if you want to see it.

Work wheels are awesome wheels. Federal tires are pretty much the cheapest thing you can get. I guess you gotta pinch pennies somewhere

Federals are super cheap and they work GREAT for me.

I recently put Dunlop Star Specs on the front though.

For rears, I'll stick with Federal. Never had a problem with them, so why change?I used to use ST115s all around, but then they discontinued them or something, so I stopped after that. I guess they are being sold again though. I'll have to look into prices.

I hope you didn't take offense. Your car is pretty amazing and nothing to scoff at. I'm a bit of a tire whore though.

Go with what works for you though. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right

You've got a great parts list but like yourself, I don't like how the car looks at the moment. I hope my opinion is changed with the addition of a lip and paint. And maybe matching wheels.

Thanks.

The paint and lip will make the car look much better.

My new wheels (I hope they arrive someday) should be nice too.

I'm getting kind of tired of cars in general.Kind of thinking about selling it after the new paint and wheels.

Too much.Over the last 6 or so years, I put a lot of money into drifting. It was all very fun.

I want to get a Nissan Cube though.

I'm starting to realize it is crazy to have this drift car with tons of money in it and not use it as much as I should.

building a car is pretty much never an "investment".

I know what color it will be.

No millenium jade, although I was going to do something similar.

Do you know if there are going to be any spots open, Brian? If I am even allowed to drive that is.

I think so, there are always spots open, and this year, I think we will have more spots open in general. (more tracks than ever before. bonus.)

I still want to see someone do the "Canteen" color (from the new Titan).

Or, the weird light mint green pearl on the new Camry - wacky.

Gregory - Oddly enough, I LOVE that color. (the green one)There was one parked next to work yesterday.

I went to Toyota a while ago to check it out.

Sadly, I won't be doing it.

If you do get rid of it, I would be glad to buy that Zeros off you. Shieeeeet, I'd be down to buy it now.
