Nice! Cardinals-Cubs is always a fun game. When we drive up from rolla for the games we just drink a case of beer on the way up, bout a 90 minute drive. That way you don't have to buy that many at the stadium lol.

Every time I see that front end on your 240sx/180sx/Silvia, I just wonder why they never made that front the stock front end. It looks so much better in my opinion.

I almost hate the s13 silvia front, but thats just my opinion. It can look good, but IMO the pop-up headlights are way cooler. Anyway, the reason we don't have the silvia front is because the headlights were too low for US regulations, so nissan threw the 180sx front on it.

Also, dude is that mustang really your daily??

Dude, that is awesome. A Toy for work and a toy for play. I like the way you think.

I don't think it looks bad or ugly, it looks good. I just think it would look better with the pop-ups :gapteeth:

Sorry to hear about the divorce. Car looks great though! Have you ever thought about painting/powder coating the wheels a contrasting color like silver/bronze or gunmetal? I think that would look killer.

I have, but I will probably just get another set of wheels over the winter. Mainly for drift spares but also incase I want a change of look time to time..

I like the Enjuku Square G6 wheels. Similar sizing to my Varrstoens.

never thought you were a drifter.

like the idea of the square g6 wheels, not alot of people running them, which is surprising to me since the size and price is pretty damn good. im thinking of grabbing a set my self

I initially had no intentions to drift this car...it just kinda happened. Its just so damn fun and addicting. I probably wont take it to the competing level...just for weekend fun.

Possibly, but it is a night event, so video might suck. There is a day event that is running on the road course here at Gateway Raceway on Nov 17. We currently drift on their huge parking lot that they barricade off and mark the course with cones. It's pretty legit and cheap registration.

Well the car ran great this year and I have no complaints. Too bad there are no more local events till next spring, since the weather has been amazing lately.

I ordered a few small things during black friday..

CS Oil filter relocation
New spark plugs
New CTS

I also ordered 2 more varrstoens

I have a few cool plans for winter, but well see how things go.
