    but in all honesty, you can't both be on the course at the same time so even if you show up at the same event it's no problem helping both of you . let me know what events you will be at for sure and i'll try to make sure we're all in separate run groups or something.

    cool, cool, ok I gotta run and masturbate really quick. Excuse me. And no, it has nothing to do with me talking to you just then. I got another idea! Fuck, too late, did not make it. Well let me run and change my panties really quick. I don't like it when it looks like every Ninja Turtle got a facial.

    the only reason the Viper won is becuz of marketing criteria.....it would make Mopar and the American Drifting scence look alot better.....that;s my 3 cents

    yea, it wasn't a 100hp Trueno... it was more like a 300hp trueno, with a 4A-GZE running about 12lbs of boost to a single turbo.....

    either way, its a COROLLA...... keeping with a fucking VIPER!!!!! hahaha, thats awesome.

    I used to have a 4A-GZE swapped GTS-Twincam hatchback... that was the funnest, best car, I have ever owned.... We'll have to see about that though... I've just barely broken in my S2000... hehehehe

    I already told you I upgraded mine.. but, I sold the stock unit to the shop I installed it at...

    I bought two different recievers when I was shopping for one.. the one I'm using right now is a Pioneer DHE-p3500, but I still have a kenwood that works on the S2000 perfectly.. I just didn't like it, because the Pioneer came with a 50' range IR remote, and also a full color screen.. lol

    other than that, the Kenwood, is pretty badass and sounds ALOT better than the stock unit.. IMO

    peace out yo..

    sorry s2000 is one of worst cars for drifting, it was designed to stay in shape through a corner and drifting is all about going out of shape.

    ya, well.. i'm just saying S2000 because i fucking own one.. and its the only FR car I own right now.. lol

    I did have that 4A-GZE swapped corolla a year back, and had it for a good 11months or so... and that was the best car I have ever driven in, LET ALONE went drifting in...

    I'm just dicking around in the S right now, until I can get my hands on another decent Corolla, or I can find a coupe S13...

    no biggie.. besides, I love to grip the S..... WAY better than driving sideways with it..lol

    no car was meant to drift. an S2000 does just fine in capable hands, just like any other car. it's a RWD car with a limited slip and a good neutral weight distribution, how does that make is one of the "worst" cars to drift? was a 240 designed to oversteer like mad around every corner?

    have you been behind the wheel of both to make that statement or are you basing your opinion off of a certain DVD that all the bench drifters take as gospel?

    bring your car to an event and enter, i'd be glad to prove you wrong

    i would like to know how many people free posting on here actually know how to go out and really drift. Not just kicking a car halfway through a wet turn. I have driven 6 different chassis... Miata (duh), S14, S13, S2000, Z32 300ZX TT and a few Corolla GT-S's.

    I'm used to the Miata, so its home to me.

    The S-chassis cars were funky, i never knew what understeer in middle of a drift was until i drove one.

    I borrowed a S2000 at an event and found it was easier to initiate a slide then the Miata, but was equally as snappy once it was out.

    3400ZX TT... now that was a car i liked. It was like the Miata but with much bigger balls. It steps out fast, mostly due to the dynamics of the weight breaking traction. Buit the power curve was very broad and smooth. If i had the $$$, i'd definatly do one myself.

    AE86 chassis. Hmm.Smooth thats for sure. But it only gets like that when you have the power. And to get usable power from it takes a fair amount of work. I had a 87 GT-S coupe with 420,000 miles and in the wet, that car was suicide. I could be going 70mph and jsut flick the wheel and it would just nicely step out (maybe it was the really shitty tires). But the fact that the LSD still worked was nice too. It all worked fine i nthe wet, but couldnt do shit in the dry. I took it aroudn the cloverleaf at the mall of ga, i nthe wet, and jsu power over'ed at about 55mph. I did the whole drift while on the phone, and one hand on the wheel and talking to my friend in the pass seat. (i know, not safe), but he trusts me and i had doen it several times before during the night. But liek i say, it needs POWER for dry, the 4AGE lacks it wihtout boost.


    I sick of people buying "drift cars" when they dont know what to do, just get it because thats what everyone else tells them is good. Just because you bought a 240 or a Corolla DOES NOT make you a drifter. Just because you have a SR swap doen not make you a drifter. Just because you now have fancy Tein suspension does not make you a drifter. Just because you have a car thats RWD does not make you a drifter. Just because you watch a bunch of videos and can clutch dump/power over in the wet only makes you a bench drifter.

    My point is, buy something YOU want and make it work. Yes, some cars are easier to modify and less expensive. I think thats what makes everyone go for a 240. To me the 240's were the hardist cars to drift. Maybe because i started with a "harder" car to drift, Erin might be able to attest to that (dont think your car had a LSD), but you'd know how it handles compared to your S13. I didnt buy my Miata to drift it. I just bought it and drove it. And with lots of practice, i LEARNED HOW TO MAKE THE CAR DO WHAT I WANTED IT TO DO.

    Another thing is power. You dont need to get 500000000hp to learn car control. Shit, i did what i did with 115rwhp and 112rwtq. Sure the Miata is lighter, but its still power to weight. I didnt start off with some fancy suspension, and still dont. Just a well matched spring/shock/sway bar combination. Yes, the more expensive still will help improve technique once you have learned it.

    If you want to get into drifting, get a car you want, GET A LSD FIRST, if your car does not already have one. Thats the most important thing. Sure you now have a 400hp engine, $2000 suspension, $1500 in wheels and tires.... but NONE of it is any good if you cant get it to both wheels and learn the proper way to manipulate the dynamics of a slide.

    So whats the best drift car? none. Its all in the driver. A good driver can get in any car and get a feel for it, learn it response and take advantage of it.
