Man I wish there was a place where I could do that down here without the cops throwing me under the jail. Maybe I can do something about it when I make cadet or some crap.

[whyteboi]

saweet , im sure thats gonna be fun.

and alot of little odds and ends are made by mitsu for our cars and alot of other brands

[poshatch]

from the video it looks like you need a little more practice (but dont we all)

the rb will help though, congrats and good luck with the build

i wish i had an open spot like that

its all about timing lol... trust me i know i shouldnt have been doing that, esp since theres a main road right there but meh... im doing wheelies all the time, IMO the fun is worth the risk

yea ill be the first to say i suck at drifting... well not suck but i dont think im good haha. I had just got done doin about 4 suuuhweet donuts perfectly when they decided to video me. Did you catch the horrible understeer lol. We have a sweet spot in the back of an industrial complex the local drifters and i frequent. We were back there for like 3 -4 hrs at a time. its about a football field in size in between two warehouses.

That spot we videoed at wasnt very big to do much other than donuts

no you dont suck man, i did catch that understeer, the only video of me drifting will make you laugh, its epic handfulls of fail, i got 2 more events under me now but still

your spot sounds great though i wish i had one, there is a couple but the exit routes are janky

the industrial spot is nice, all you see is chunks of tire and black marks everywhere haha. even though is all open there is a nice section that comes around the building so you can intiate a good slide and come around the building full opposite lock. There's only one entrance but its tucked so far back no one bothers us. We are literally maybe a block and half away from a sanctioned 1/8th mile track and kart course so you know sound isn't a problem

[TheRealNap0le0n]

My biggest issue while drifting is confidence and I tend to lean to far into the gas which ends up with my rear end coming around on me. I think getting a decent seat will help my comfort and confidence. My biggest issue is the feeling like I'm gunna fly out of my seat

i had the same problem, if its with initiation, then your not counter steering fast enough (maybe need to lift off on the throttle more), if its durring drifting, then you need to just learn the throttle balance

track time is the biggest confidence builder, not right away, you might feel like your not good compaired to the others but when your there you just need a f*** it additude and have fun, thats what turned my day around at least

if you feel like your gonna fly out, and dont wanna buy a bucket, then bend your seat rails (s13 seats) and if you need padding just pick up some at like walmart and sip open the back again and stuff it

thats what i did, it works literally like a bucket, there is a write up on the tech page i think...

[TheRealNap0le0n]

huh tight work.... there's no close tracks to me, and the closest thing that has a drift night is and open lot at the 1/8th mile so i tend to stick to free lots lol...

[Lonismos14]

are you sure your ready for that bro, cause if your like me, peanut butter jelly time with ramen noodles. FOR A LONG TIME.

Congrats tho.

the 240 is the slowest vehicle I've owned... mark that my civic was the slowest but it was just a get around putt putt. My gixxer 1000 is the fastest thing I've been in and my camaro was no slouch. Learning to drive with a boosted car is gunna be fun tho. I've always loved the feeling of a nice turbo coming on combined with the sounds mmmmmm

[Lonismos14]

No i didnt mean it that way. What i meant was it is going to eat through your pockets like a las vegas prostitute. Its going to be expensive.

And yes i have been to vegas and thats all i got to say about that.

oh im not afraid of that... i know cars....

my 91 camaro i sunk like $15k into it just to trade it for a stock automatic S13 coupe. its not the price tag its the journey of the build

[Xdisaster240sX]

s***...Its a price tag for me. I cant afford to sink 15g into anything.

[TheRealNap0le0n]

s***...Its a price tag for me. I cant afford to sink 15g into anything.

well that was over a course of years....

$7k in various motor builds and mods including machine work. $x amount in 5 speed swap, $1200 in custom autometer gauge set up in place of factory gauges.

it adds up.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Good stuff, dude. Video looked fun, too.
