Are you into drifting, drag, track, etc. Right now my car is just my daily driver and McDonnalds getter. Other than Civics reving their fart cans, my car hasnt really been able to enjoy itself.

there is this road that is so fun for drifting....true drifting.

so i like to do that sometimes. making my car fast from the line would be nice too, but it's just not built for it. my car has a bunch of dings in it from tagging different objects while sliding. as i acquire more and more money, i'm just gonna build the engine and make the exterior pretty. ;) i'd like to make it a 12 second drag car...but that won't happen unless i stumble onto a couple 10,000$$$ and some competent mechanics to swap the engines.

My goal is for track driving/autox/possibly dabbleing with drift, with a built KAE, for about $2000 into the engine/drivetrain you can be making 200 to the wheels, some weight reduction not making it unsightly (going to be daily driver still) I should be able to get it to 2600lbs with driver, not a bad weight. Just a good first car to learn on and play with.

I daily drive it. I autocrossed my car till it started burning oil. Now I'm looking to rebuild it and get it back out there. Either that or buy a vw gti, older model, and use it for autocross. Make my 240 a really nice and quick street car.

mine's just a daily driver right now, but I occasionally "go driving" and push it a bit on some twisties. I just got the car two months ago, so I don't go super fast or drift... I don't have a good enough feel for the car and how iot slides for me to feel comfortable doing that. I love driving her though, even the commute to work is enjoyable these days!

I pretty much drive the hell out of it, and dailly drive it. every once in a while i drive the canyons, i drift it here and there almost on a daily basis. Gotta do some work on it soon tho, all kinds of things happen when you drive it hard. It would be nice to get the NA KADE up to 250 HP to the wheels. 18" rims and all brand new suspension parts. only then would it be worthy to paint it and do interior.

I'm into starring at it in my parking lot, cause I'm saving up to get some body work and a paint job done before I license and insure it.

Right now . .I use it to get to work and just go places. My eventual goal is the yashio factory wide body kit, ab-flug grim lights, a fully built rb25 or rb26, full suspension upgrades, c-wings spoiler, red bride brix seats, nismo steering wheel etc, and a phat sound system controlled by an alpine dvd and mp3 head unit.

I have already drag raced and tore up a few canyons in it.

Going to start doing AutoX events and maybe some drift events now that my helmet and brake parts are all here.

I deliver pizzas. Not for very much longer though, I don't like the beating my little girl is taking. I will set her free of the rigors of pizza delivery soon enough. Other then that I like to hit up the canyons here and there. And try to get a little sideways, only on right hand turns though, my shocks are blown. -Jeromy

I occasionally drive it aggressively. But on the most part, i own it for daily driving and car enthusiasm.

As for competitive driving, the most i would ever do it autocross. Cheap and safe.

As for drift, no thanks. I can't afford the track time. Or the tires. As for public road drifting, I can't afford the risk that is beyond my imagination.

I stare at it's broken self in my driveway all day and just get more and more pissed off that it doesn't work...and when i'm up to it, i'll charge my battery, put some gas in it from the lawnmower gas can, and rip burnouts down my driveway....but that's about all i've done with it.. :(
