^^ ya, but 285 to the wheels im sure, in a light weight S13 chassis makes for a really fun car!

now you need to come out to the mineral wells drift events - hosted by fabricatedmotorsports.com

you will see other RB S chassis out there too..

If you can find the right place to practice then I guess go for it, but that's risky with cops and all. Jason could tell you for sure, but I'm pretty certain the Mineral Wells drift events are good for first timers. I will be out there this spring learning.

Man I've never driven a boosted car. 15psi just sounds like too much fun!

What psi does your setup allow?

boost is an addiction........ive been through five S chassis with my cousin.....lol

as for the drifting, i wouldnt mind doing a bunch of skid pad runs with you at mineral wells. you dont have to pay to enter the event, but if you show up, you and i can go to the skid pad and i see if i can help show you the basics in counter steering, initiating, maintaining drift, etc.....im no expert, but im sure we can do some basics, plus i know others at the events that im sure i can get to ride with you...

once your ready - and have tons of extra wheels/tires, you can enter a mineral wells event and try to "connect" a course..

I did that yesterday with my driver's side window (2nd time doing it). It didn't help. It's slowly dying.

Good thing it came with a life time replacement
