Iunno calgary roads seem alright to me.

get 18's and you will never be low enough.

very pessimistic about high school kids with RHD's, especially in calgary.

okotoks or calgary, I drive both. Your car is still sky high, you should not be even scraping.start driving like a low car

I never said anything about you not earning the car.I just see enough examples of kids ruining cars because they believe they can handle it.(Not singling you out).I am simply stating my observations from many past threads on beyond of cars wrapped around poles "drifting"

Whats the difference? New driver driving a RHD on a LHD based system?

Be careful with this thing and make smart decisions when driving.

If you need any help just let me know, more then willing to help another s13 owner.Make sure to support your local dealers as well, visit bob at urban Exp and he will take care of your wheels!

the exhaust sits low but i'll man up soon and put my coilovers on. guessing you dont drive yours in the snow? haha

sorry, i though thats what you were getting at. i like to think i can handle it haha. ive never driven lhd and learnt in this car so im used to overtaking/turning left at a green light etc.

on another note, do you go to drift days at race city? im interested in heading out. ive herd i should get a little more experience sliding my car before i drift with those guys.

this completely... sooo many stupid kids with massive egos, specially when these cars started to become popular, ridiculous...

but i would like to give a shout out to u and all the other fellow albertans in this thread

maybe check out gram lights, deecent price, deecent fitment. If you have the wallet, cant go wrong with Volks. edit... when this becomes a track car, it will fail as being your daily driver... just a heads up

to be honest with you, the calgary drift scene is a cult.It is a bunch of elitist a** holes who will laugh and point as you fail to make your way around the track.(DW)

that is just generalizing it, but pretty much sums it up. Don't want to scare you off but it is the best way to get into the sport, even if you do not drive, go to the practices and start talking to people. Don't speak out and your a** and be honest and you will get truthful replies.

They are willing to give tips and help out as well. You simply just need to get out there!

I agree. As long as you don't make any attempt to pass it off as OEM (which you haven't) it's fine. Actually, the more and more I look at Version Select ver VI bumpers that are ALWAYS sagging, I'm digging the fitment of your bumper more and more. I wish you could remember who made it...

I thought you said you were gonna get bronze P45R's? Get 17x9+12 and 18x9.5+15.
