A few things, yes, that's a Flowmaster 40 muffler on there (2.5").I understeered like a whore. And I used eBrake on most turnsto kick the rear out more.

Enjoy...

I was expecting to see you at brampton centre in the vid. Kinda dirty for your coupe most the time when I see it, it's clean but i guess u washed it 2day cause it was pretty nice out.

The only place I can do that kinda thing in SoCal is at the RoseBowl parking lot really late or really early. Problem is I think there are houses nearby and I dont wanna wake em all up. Anywhere else you guys know of that I can try this stuff?

I would have done much better stuff if the lot was bigger.Apart from the curb, and that trailer, I didn't go too crazy.

As for the car being dirty, yea I haven't washed it in ages. AndI dind't get to that day either cuz I had plans. Cleaning ittomorrow for sure. :)

I wasn't expecting to do real drifts and stuff. Just 90/180/360spins and stuff, and i just wanted to practice with the eBrake.

Oh and I was at the Signal event; just not in the drift event. Iwas in the booth. I had the only gold coupe there with the 5-stars; you couldn'tve missed it :)

I got my White coupe in the garage. 240's leterly exploded in the GTA cause of the drift event , there's like 4 new ones at my school (turner) but 1blue fastback, 1 green fastback, 1 black coupe and 1 white fastback. I noticed your looking for a 89-90 lip cause I look around son240sx.ca once and a while even though i'm not a member there. Mega City Scrap should have one (they have like 3-4 240's there) it's about 15-20min from my house (steels and mavis), I'm going there 2mmrow soo if I see one i'll post in this thread.

What time you gonna go? I'm gonna be around that area (sorta)around 3 or 4pm and stuff.

PM me on SON or e-mail me if you wanna meet up and shoot the **** :)

I don't suppose your White coupe was at Shoppers World onDec. 26th? I was there and I saw a white coupe sitting at thelot near the baseball field.

I see a few black coupes roam brampton (one lives a few housesfrom me actually).

Nope my coupe never left my garage:( I bought her for $500 with a hole in the block. Fully loaded leather(grey) and all. The only rust was on the drivers door under the mirror (tipical spot for 240's). I pick up anther KA with 160km on it from J&R monster turbos (they do SR swaps). My rust spot my dad's going to fix at work (he's a body man) for free and yes it will be painted :D . Just got to pay some bills, then i'm on to changing the rear and front seals and getting a clutch and dropping the motor. Then the real hard part INSURANCE for a 17 year old with a 240 thats going to be under his own name:(

looks good Gonad, I can see and hear the understeer on some of those long sweeping left turns towards the camera. Do you have stock susp still? Spec-u-laters did that too until we did a sus upgrade on his.

Also increase your speed and keep the revs higher, that will help initiate the slide better.

Keep at it and have fun and be safe!

vid looks okay, but next time try weight transfer, esp, if you only have your ka/suspension/lsd. it works wonders, trust me
