It was pretty impressive...the sounds and the smells were great. but this was way before i got my license...i was probably 13 or so. When i got my first car (a 300ZX) i tried to replicate some of the stuff i saw. Eventually i got pretty good..i could power over and such, but i wore the car out back then i was pretty dumb, so my next car was a '98 prelude...ouch. it was much quicker in a straight line, but the handling stunk. so just recently i bought an RX-7. it needs some engine work..but im slowly working on my skills again. i practice in the rain on low traffic roads and such..when i get the new motor it will be much easier though. initial D sort of got me back into it. but im not a huge fanboy and i like watching the D1 stuff...its a lot more exciting to watch than some of the other powersports.

I drift occasionally but my true love is Touge... I have a 1985 Corolla GTS coupe with a Hi-comp AE92 motor in it. Running pretty much stock for now with the exception of some NCRCA's, slotted/drilled rotors, 14X6 Black Racings, and Falken Ziex tires.
Also... XzifT... check out my friend Jay's website... he is in Michigan

I'm a big fan of drifting, Real life, GT3, it's all good. I'm hoping to pick up an S13 some time in the next couple months so I'll have a chance to try drifting...I know I'm going to suck at it, but I'm sure I'll have fun anyway. [/QUOT
I was gonna do a s13 as well. My rents gave me 20k to spend on a car, i was gonna get a s13 and drop and s14 engine with a yashio factory full body it. I found a website where they sell every part of the kit. Full kit was like 3700 . I decided to go back to gettin a supra tt or a 300z tt. Although I think the s13 woulda been a fun run.

yeah, I'd get a Supra TT if I were you. I love MKIV supras.
I want to get an s13, (fastback or coupe..doesn't matter), put a blacktop s13 sr20det in it with Tein or Kei Office coilovers, and if it's a coupe..put on an s13 silvia face and if it's a hatchback, either a kouki style bumper or s15 face and kouki taillights, with some nice lightweight wheels like volk gramlites or something. I want it for autocross and probably drifting eventually after I learn the basics of racing. I'll probably end up just buying one and driving it stock until I blow the engine or stuff starts to fall off, then modding it when I get money. Until then I have my grocery getter to drive (97 Accord).
Wow, you are the only person on this forum other than me that is from Mississippi. What part of the state do you live in?Originally posted by Drift260Z
I want to get as much of Option(2)/Drift Tengoku magazines as I can. without a doubt, I am the most into drifting probably in MS.
