~ the SC or soarer fascinates me but i believe it weighs as much as an elephant




i love road racing or grip racing since i used to be a dumb *** and go to the mountains with my civic Si like 5-6 years ago although i graduated and started tracking the Z... if my budget allowed me to go id go every month, cant wait for the new wheels to come in


i have been always fascinated by drifting, i do though meet people who claim to drift 2003 corolla S's, automatic IS300s and accords but i really ought to check out an event or go...... just need a diff since i have a base


what do you guys like or do?

 

i want to go grip racing with an elise! i dont even want to try to drift... and mess up a car. lol. but drifting looks cool

 

We have similar taste. Id love to grip drive any one of those you mentioned. As far as drifting, i've driven a miata which was suprisingly really easy to drift for a car with so little power, but it had coilovers, camber, and some other drift mods.
The SC, which i'm suprised you mentioned, caught my eye when I saw a few at drift events. The only thing that drew me to it was the JZ motor (non-turbo ftl) and the looks. It looked alright to me in the 90's but now its just ugly to me. Plus you'll never be able to find one of those in stick(400's didnt come in manual, ftl again).
Heres a pic of my fav drift SC.

 

i would love to grip a ariel atom. that would be awesome. being able to see the tire hit the apex every corner. plus that open cockpit...oooohhhh. as far as drift goes, the s13/s14 coupe and my Z. i have the nismo lsd now so its so controlled in a slide. makes it easy to bring that bir *** around. i love that sc, its got cf doors to lighten the body up now. i read all the stuff he did to that car, a bunch of 1 off custom work

 

^+1 it waS on JTuned... nice car. thats actually the car that made me think SCs were nice.

 

The driver of that red SC would be pretty damn amazing if he drifted a lighter car like an S14 or S15, but the bigger luxury cruisers are his style.

+1 on the Ariel Atom.

 

what new wheels are you getting Boneout?

 

FD for both! But it needs a non-rotary motor, preferably an LS1...I know...blasphemous

 

I would love to go grip racing with the Caparo T1..as long as it doesn't burn down on me lol

 

That will ruin the weight distribution and center of gravity for the car haha

 

then why even have a FD, go buy a camaro and you dont have to deal with the swap...

 

^LOL
for corners i like light cars with enough power (not too much)- something like the elise or exige would be fine.... but for the straightaway, i like big horsepower, wide wheels, big turbos~ lol

 

ill reveal them in a few months they will match my V2 better than my Blitz technospeeds

id say them but i only have 2 so far waiting for the other 2 low offset rears to come in and theyre 18"

 

No not at all. I dont think I could ever own a FD with a rotary, I'd swap that **** out for an ls1 quick.
Plus the ls1 only weighs like 200lb. over a na 13b. If you add turbos, intercooler, piping, etc, I'm sure the difference would be very small. Plus who can say no to a 300+ hp 300+ ft/lb na motor.
Even though its a pushrod .

 

how about a k20 or f20 in a elise? lol i dont know if the s2k engine will fit. ive seen k20s in there before.

 

I know what the are and I've done bicep curls with them I won't give away Ben's secret though. My lips are sealed.

 

^hehe same with me... damn youre weak! curls with those rims?! those are like 5 pounds no?? haha
try doing curls with my 100 pound meisters LOL

 

i hope you guys never buy rx7s

i love both grip and drift,(id rather drift i went to track alot w/ my s14 (mostly drift) its very fun especially when you get lots of seat time..people say yah you can mess your car up drifting but i dont think it messes it up that bad i think any form of racing can mess up your car, if i had the funds to drift a z, hell yah i would love to, and people mite say oh but your going to put dents and scratches on your car, IMO those people are vaginas XD j/k

grip is definatly faster around the corner
