cmon guys, there should be more of you at drift day, the z is the best out of the box drift car, yet i rarely see any Zs out there, theres about 4 of us that go regularly and thats it.

i usely drift with my stock wheels on, but my friend wanted a shot at drifting my car, and i wanted some pictures with my wheels on, so it worked out.








check the angle

 

yes, i was out there with "the bob" and we kicked lots of a$$...well, not really but we had lots of fun. we are gaining popularity as the two kids with z's there. kinda nice, but again we would like to see more z's out here. its just too fun to do. you will get hooked as soon as you try it for yourself.

my z is mostly stock except for a plenum and cusco lsd. it is seriously one of the best setup cars out of the box. this is not according to me, but alex pfiefer, one of the best formula d competitors out there.

im awaiting pics of me out there, i wish i coulda gone with bob for day 2 on my dubs, but i had chores to do today...

 

looks fun! but I'll stick to tracks and canyons for now.
--you know how they never really talk about changing the tires on Takumi's AE86? I'm not sure how much he (his dad) spends on tires delivering tofu (ie business expense).

what LSD do you have?

 

nismo
seriously, give it one shot, borrow some stock z 17s from someone and through some azenis on them for the day, youll enjoy it so much, i gurantee youll go back.

 

didnt you know its all sponsored by ryosuke since he asked takumi to join his team cant you see the support vans with spare tires/wheels

but seriously, come out and watch, possibly bring a helmet if you want and take a ride with a instructor. may scare the sh*t outta you, but you will wanna drive next

 

yeah... but that's not till the 4th season. 1~3 were all on his dad's tofu shop.

Yeah, I may come out and watch one of these days. I luv the smell of burning rubber.

 

lol, yea that true. but you know bunta is all hooked up. toyota race engine+knowing the drift king probably helps. i suspect full sponsorship status. but what is the best out of everything in the anime, bunta always drifts/drives with his eyes closed

 

cool, ill post it up on the boards next event

 

I was with SHO at Buttonwillow, I think the drift event was on the same day as Buttonwillow?

In either case, I'm kinda in a tight budget to get my N/A Supra up for the track (maybe I might try 1 drift event with either the Z or Supra). I kinda need my Z as a daily driver while I only have 1 car running.

At least knocking down cones seem cleaner than running into dirt patches at Buttonwillow.

 

my Z is my only car at the moment, drifting is all about using your daily driver

 

Amazing pics!

The first pic looks like you were drifting so fast that some how you hit some cones and sent them flying!

 

its a friend driving, but i have no idea what is going on with those cones. ive been wondering

 

nah, it just has to do with depth of field when you took the pic. wow i actually learned something in my HS photo class

 

I would love to come out but payments+ tires + no money = no drifting.

 

I need to try this one day. I just have to learn

 

Slide or Die

 

heck ya!!

 

I didn't know there are drift events around here.
I'm very interested however I have never tried it and in my neighbourhood is absolutely no place to practise.
Where is it? Is it Legal? How much? and most importatnly is there some form of teaching on how to do it other than watching this drift bible...

 

Seems like an expensive hobby, how much do good drifting tires run you? I assume they don't last more than 1 event, maybe 1-2 runs... just a guess though...

 

Some of my buddies just buy (or free) used tires at scrap yards.
