haha cuz i was gonna say usually its frowned upon if you try drifting at a autox event. it is by no means faster than grip, unless you have a rally car lol

$300.00 I think you can get it for $425 (SR) or $325 (KA).....I got mine off a friend...http://www.ssautochrome.comThat is their website....I just can't wait to hear it when I throw the SR in.....I believe Beeman has the same one in his SR 240...All in all I'm happy with it. The N1 was awesome but this is $125.00 cheaper.

No I'm in region 37, mostly binghamton, oneonta, tioga area....I live in Binghamton if your not sure where that is it's about a hour and half straight south from Syracuse on 81. I might come out there July 17...I'll try to make it. It was weird being the only Nissan guy there, but hopefully I can recruit more soon. I rolled in with 3 WRX's, 1 STI and about 2 Imprezas. I bet that looked a little funny, with me in my 240 bringing up the rear. I gotta say I enjoyed doing this immensely, definately helps me to drive a little more tamer on public roads. The only bad thing was I got extremely sunburned
