yo bh i was curious... since you know an insane amount of people in the drift world, have you ever driven (see: drifted) anybody else's car around a track or something?

i know you're nasty with the ka, so i wonder how you'd be with something else :O

[BrianHarte]

Hi.

I really do not like driving other cars.I would feel TERRIBLE if something were to break while I was driving. I don't want to be responsible.

I drove somebody's S13 one time. It was pretty much stock except for a LSD in it.

I was going to drive NITEKIDS' car back in the day because I ran out of tires for my car. He let me take it out, but then they wouldn't let me drive because his car wasn't teched.

So, I drove one other car. A stock s13. hah

[Koshin]

Do you ever yearn for more power?? I know a guy locally here that drifts a KA and he has really good luck with it...Just wondering, I have never drifted a KA, my SR is mostly stock and it def does the trick

[E7-S14]

BH.is your KA stock?

if not whats done to it?

im drifting a mostly stock N/A SR and its more than capable of doing it.everyone's taunting me on to boost it but i think i wanna get good at this motor first.

only thing i wish i had was a better geared rear end..i bought a 2-way out of a 180 but it wasn't the 436 i wanted

i like that you slide N/A motors the kas a great motor and I loved mine.

you got any vids of you sliding?

[BrianHarte]

91ks - Yeah I do sometimes. There are areas that I definitly would like more power.

E7 - yeah stock. I just have an exhaust.

Yeah there are videos.Let me link one real quick.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO4dje-zTL0

My friend Danny made this video.The other guys in there have nice tuned SRs. Probably 300+ area.I have stock KA.I guess you can get a little idea...

[Koshin]

are all of those cars caged?? I am prepping my car for a few events this season, and was wondering if I should just cage my car (dont really want to tho)

[titanoh]

Brian, it was intresting to see your car feature on SpeedHunters. I believe the article mentioned something about old drift team stickers on your car, any story behind them?

[E7-S14]

just seems the turbo guys can bring more smoke.that would be an awesome place to drift.. too bad im not on the east coast.

[veebee]

i'm the same way, to be honest. but i was just curious since like every car someone finds asking what kit/wing/etc you're always like "oh man that's so and so's car, it's nice" so i was just curious if you'd driven anything worth writing home about haha

[sil8tdrftr]

thats in the west coast

[ZX88]

most tracks with elevation changes requires a cage. but it varies check with your local track to see what they require.

[E7-S14]

thats in the west coast

my bad. thats what i meant.as im on the east coast

[BrianHarte]

VB - I would have loved to drift NITEKIDS' S14 around. I was so close. It had so many badass parts on it.

Titanoh - I don't know. I had some cool stickers on there. Old Rapid stickers. K Style. Koguchi Power. Marionette. Tinker. etc...

91silvia - Yes all those cars are caged. Mine and Aaron's have Saftey21. Flybert has a Cusco. Mickie has a custom one. I love having a cage

[raven2345]

this is to anyone looking or posting in this thread...

i need some pointers on sliding my auto 240, complete with a stock kade and open rear end. same old stock suspension, yet with 18's on the rear.

thanks

[BrianHarte]

sure.

Try your best to sell that car and then buy one that is already a manual 5 speed.

After that do these three things first.

1. 2 way LSD2. Coilovers3. Bucket Seat

If you HAVE to keep that car you have, do this.

1. change it over to a 5 speed manual.2. 2 way LSD3. coilovers4. bucket seat.

of course you will mix in a bunch of tires into that mix.

[s13beast]

Your a stallion BH.

[ddgsxr504]

That vid you posted was pretty awesome Brian, I like the camera angle they recorded the runs at. Nice transition and angle.

[BrianHarte]

That is "little john" in your signature photo right?That reminds me of something.

He looks kind of like (i think) "little wayne"I think that is who I'm thinking of.

Anyways, the point is, Little Wayne is an UGLY... really really ugly dude.

[Xdisaster240sX]

BH that video was sick...I love it

[touge_951]

Titanoh - I don't know. I had some cool stickers on there. Old Rapid stickers. K Style. Koguchi Power. Marionette. Tinker. etc...

hey bh where do you come to find those old school stickers?

[BrianHarte]

I just collect them here and there.People give them to me...

The usual.

[roadboy240sx]

so Brian, if you dont have any motor mods what is done to your car to be able to drift like that

[Rosco]

[hazer396]

BHwill you go out with me? lol jkand is that your daily driver?

[BrianHarte]

Well, the 14 had some of these things.

Zeal Super FunctionAll the Battle Version suspension arms.Tein Tie rods.Cusco LSDSubframe spacersBride seatNismo power braceSkid plateCusco tower barsSafety21 cageR33 Rear stabilizer bar

I drove it to it's limit.

[BrianHarte]

The 14 USED to be my daily driver up until the time I painted it blue.After that, it got to be too much of a hassle and I got a J30 for a regular car.

I drove the 14 for a few years as a daily car.

I just remembered

In that video, that was the FIRST time I ever drove that track. I can do it better now.

[MastaYu]

nice video

[keith0486]

you ever take the j30 drifting?

[BrianHarte]

Not really.

The transmission in it is kinda "iffy".I really wanted to drift it around at All Star Bash V, bit I decided not to. I didn't want the transmission to die out there at the track. hah.

I slide it around the street here and there if it is wet out.
