oh yeah if its a sunday im really down then PS after aug 7 please i dont want to miss this

stock is fine, you do need to have a LSD though.

In regards to tires, I brought one extra pair to drift and they are still able to do another round, but they were in top condition.

Finalizing Details with Naoki representing Drift Association LLC.

In addition, if this works well, we will plan more events with both Drift-Day and Just-Drift.

Nooooooo!!!!! Hopefully the date changes because I have a f**king wedding to go to that day.

EDIT: And changing it to the weekend after that does me no good either :D.

not aug 13
 
Please not aug. 13th, Thats the day Just drift will be ruinning the east loop at buttowillow!

I swear JD and DD set their events on the same day just to mess with each other. Half their events are on the same damn day! It messes with me because I am part of Just Drift but I still love going to the ddays(besides the fact that I hate clipping cones, thats called autocross or in this instance driftcross).

Please find another date,
I really want to make it there!

ihatethatbobbarker 07-18-2006 03:31 PM

ditto, im pretty set on buttonwillow.

636Racer 07-18-2006 04:12 PM

I'm envious. Our drifting events have been cancelled pending a new race track IF that ever happens.

I might have to bring the Corolla to this :icon38:

Wholey Smokes 07-18-2006 08:27 PM

Man, I've been wanting to go drifting for a while now. I need to install my Nismo LSD and Brembos. I ordered Volks last month and am waiting for them to come in because I was under the impression that a full set of wheels was needed for Drift Day due to a lack of on-site tire mounting service. I guess if I just need tires, like you guys are saying, I better get that LSD installed by the 13th.

Wholey Smokes 07-18-2006 08:28 PM

Oh there's a drift related question I've been meaning to ask. I have an 06 with the adaptive power steering. I'm assuming this is going to be a big negative for drifting. Anyone know of a way to disable it?

636Racer 07-18-2006 08:55 PM

^^^
It's actually not that bad.

shmately 07-18-2006 09:56 PM

Wholey Smokes, I don't know too much about that adaptive setup.

But KEEP the power steering, especially with a car this heavy.

And depending on where we run there is a tire facility on site. Irrwindale is one of the only places that dosen't have one.

Willow springs and Buttonwillow have tire shops on site.

And you can always run to a local tire shop if you don't like getting ripped off.

And just one extra pair of wheels/tires should be good for a beginner. (2 more couldn't hurt)
If you can't get that lsd in, come out anyways. The viscous works just fine to learn with. Plus you won't be beating on that brand new lsd.

can you explain about the viscous? Taka mentioned that the stock LSD is a viscous type that doesn't work well in drifting...what's the difference between a stock LSD and a Nismo in regards to drifting?
