Teddy's "I drive my track car on the street" BUILD

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Im glad someone understands...

So you want the track to refund your money if YOUR car breaks? Thats hilarious.

Sorry but if you cant afford $110 to drift, you probably don't have enough money to mod your car to drift. Therefore it is an acceptable price. The breaking down part is always a risk you are willing to take. s*** I go to movies and fall asleep all the time; I don't get a refund. If you went to a sports game and tripped and had to leave you don't get a refund...

It is what it is, and the world goes round.

i think you guys missed the point entirely, i never said i'd want a refund if my car broke down. i'm saying from a newbs perspective you won't want to pay 110 to drift and you won't care about 60mph entry because you'll be too scared to go more than 30. i'd drop 110 for an event if i had a trailer and everything but just think how you guys where when you where newbs you just want to practice for as cheap as possible as much as possible.

we didn't move it, that one guy with the clean green zenki started one up..it's the youdrift meet

actually bowser went to my rap groups hip hop show at dieffens and got the idea he ran it by me before i left but i never got a chance to clear it with dieffens so he i guess took lead on it and cleared it with them anthony just helped hype it up. so technically you guys did move it lol

[phanatikz32]

dude how where you getting to school and work and what not at this point?

[nieko]

[S13Teddy]

Sorry guys, I've been at SEMA all week...

So what color green is your car???

It is Mulsanne Teal. Haha.

teddy suck c***....vtec

Vtec! Broooo!!! Where have you been?

that hourly rate is probably more than most people in this thread make at work so that doesnt seem cost effective to me, and if you do make more than that it may not be expensive on an hourly basis but what if you don't want to drift from 8 to 5? better yet what if you pay 110 and you car breaks down after an hour do you get a refund? no. so why pay a flat rate of 110 and have to drive all the way the hell out there when you can go to inland drift or adams for 20 bucks an hour and just pay for what you use? it may be worth it to you to spend 100 in one day to slide your car around but to other people (newbs) thats a rip off because they can just do it free on the streets or pay 1/5th the price for an hour, and be closer to home in case something happens.

Okay. With that mentality, you can never get serious with drifting. First of all, yes... $12/per hour is more than what people make on average at work. I don't see how that is relevant to ANYTHING. You're not going to work, you're going drifting. Suck up and pay the money. $110 is cheap considering the track costs thousands to rent. On top of that, you're not paying only for the track, you are paying for the organization of the event and all the extra help you'll receive. You usually get instructors to help you out, and people to chase cones after you knock them over. Sorry, but $100 is cheap.

Next, you are thinking too hard about your car breaking. s***t happens man. If you always think "what if my car breaks" "What if she doesn't like me" "What if I don't get the job" "What if I break my leg when I go down the stairs", then you sir are going to get nowhere in life. You need to live a little.

Plus, you should be making sure your car is reliable before you head out to a track anyway.

AMEN!

[Dire91]

Raped! Verbally that is.

true true i went drifting last night. my engine got a major rod knock and lost a cylinder.but i got my car back home this morning when i woke up and im already working towards getting it going again. i was asked if i regreted going out last night and i said no. my engine might have given out but i had a hell of a time and pulled some pretty good drifts.

Exactly. This is motorsports. Stuff is going to break, it's inevitable. If you don't like breaking your car, stick to car shows and hard-parking at meets.

[spooled240]

after thrashing/effing up my car on the street/canyons I've come to the conclusion that track time is the way to go. Track time is not cheap(at least for my income and my bills/expenses) but it's worth it IMHO as far as actually learning how to drift.

I've slid around on the streets and parking lots and i learned a lot just from that but the combined seat time for all that is probably not even an hour lol I can't imagine how much i would learn on a FULL DAY of sliding

[TimTurboZ]

You learn alot! 1 skidpad event on blown coils and next month fulltrack on new Stance GR+ Pro's that 1 day I learned soo much I have confidence I didn't think 1 day could give me.

Teddy how you you single cam guys do it! I was out there with my Dual cam keeping the throttle to the floor and I couldn't keep the tires spinning enough plus I had pretty light weight 15" wheels on the back with atleast the 35psi you said you ran during events. I just couldn't hold the angles

oh Moar updates please!

[evolve S13]

TimTurboZ up the tire pressure to 50psi "over inflate" you will not blow the bead on the tire and this will help you with keeping angle. Once you start flicking hard and really committing to your entries then lower the tire pressure to 35psi "causing more grip", I tandem with guys that run 60+ in their tires "big wheels low power", hope that helps

[Jdmstyles]

Inland drift today sucked. So did the Gymkhana portion. I left and went to UCR for some boba. Cool story bro.

[TimTurboZ]

I felt dumb the day after the fulltrack I realized I never even checked my pressure I assume it was above 30psi. I was entering @ 70mph in 3rd...yeah earlier in this thread or possibly another ppl were talking about running high pressures makes perfect sense I'll have to try that next time.

[Kalypso]

teddy...

you should buy some new wheels with all that money you have

[spooled240]

yeah those falken's are alright but i don't like how they go one direction so your car isn't symmetrical...idk i'm just weird like that lol

[Kalypso]

he pulls them off well... tho

but i know he's thinking of something more fun

[Jdmstyles]

[Kalypso]

in white

[Jdmstyles]

Yup gram lights ;]

I finally got to see Daijiro's Celica in person today. It was beautiful.

Thread jackingggg sorry Teddy. He blacked out his front mount though.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ Did that dude get his fitment issue fixed? I saw that car at the JCCS and the rear fitment was horrible.

Who is that guy anyways?

I didn't take a look in the back so I don't know. I doubt there's a fitment problem anymore though.

And are you being sarcastic about not knowing him? D: Daijiro Inada.. founder of Option Magazine? ;[

[Jdmstyles]

Edittttt.

Looks fine to me.

[S13Teddy]
