im almost 21 but i agree with this ^^
it was a clean "power-slide" though (at first), kinda hard to drift these cars from that speed anyways, its something you do from a stop or slow roll like under 5 mph
if your rolling at like 20 into a corner, i would call it power-sliding, since you are using the momentum of the car to slide you around the corner rather than the force from the wheels.
however glad to see youve managed to keep the car for a year, good luck for the future.

Something tells me we won't be seeing a 2 year progress thread....
Pretty sure it's illegal (if not it should be) to have stickers covering your window, not to mention ugly. It's only ok if its on your back window in the corner at a diagonal offset that says something trendy like illest or of course monster symbol is also cool.

its different if your wheels break loose before turning it sharply, like im assuming your saying your friend did, meaning he was coming into the corner, broke wheels loose and allowed them to "drift" him along the corner, circle, whateverr..

Kind of a hard crowd around here I've noticed...
While I don't personally approve of racing/drifting/whateverillegalactivityyoudoonopenroads, I don't really care what people do and don't judge them for it if they're doing it safely.
As was pointed out, the road appeared to be rather desolate with no traffic and open visibility. With the set up from what the video seemed, you can tell it was a scouted area to ensure maximum safety; this makes me not mind the activity.
Plus, as others said, instant karma. =P
I personally see the way this Z has been used as "abused", but others would see it as learning the limits and using the car as it was built; a sports car. If you have the time and money to take care of the car for the abuse you're doing, power to you! I try to keep mine running optimally to avoid having to put more money in to it.
And to close this little ramble:
I appreciate seeing that someone is taking the time to make this type of post, it's nice to see how others use and appreciate their Zs.

Oh please. I bought my z with almost 90,000 miles less then when you bought yours. I would assume you needed that clutch because the original burnt out. The stock ones last until 125-150k. One of my buddies has a 2006 with oil consumption due to the issues with rev up.
