Well we run the drift practices at our local track, so i have been sitting back and watching all the guys get better and better over the last 3 years. With all these guys progressing i have done nothing but work on all the cars and damn near every 240 in the central Ohio area, so my car has been neglected and sat out. this was the first time i have taken it out and beat on it in forever.

it lasted all of 5mins.... the engine is fine !! its my driving skills that ended the day lol.







This is after a run in i had with a very large, very solid tractor tire thats in the apex of one of the banked turns leading into the infield.

I ended up trashing my FMIC, my hot pipe, a coupler, My drivers side motor mount, and i think i bent a tie rod since i hit it at full lock at WOT.

It was a hella good time. One of my friends did his first real tandem against James Evans in his LSx 350z. He lost, but still lol. I wasnt able to camp there but I heard that someone tried to steal James' 350 that night. Dude couldnt drive stick and they drug him out of the car. He started getting crazy and they tazered his *** lol. There was also a fight in the stands behind me where a guy got choked out... he came back trying to act tough and everyone kept shouting "One more time!" It was awesome as always. Ive only found one pic of me drifting...



sorry for the thread jack!

haha no way am i discouraged, i built this car to tear up. I have 0$ into that aero. It was a Christmas present from a customer lol. i also have completely stripped coupe shell sitting in the shop waiting to be built up as my next car. Its getting the works inside and out.

The car still needs more tuning its breaking up under boost at WOT i think i had a boost leak when i tuned the car and im now hitting boost cut because its actually building boost faster then before. we also have to add alot of timing in and out of boost, the car is sluggish and i know it has more responsiveness then this. I will be replacing the tie rod end this weekend, doing some more street tuning and hitting the track again on tuesday.
