American drifting.

Hlam424 — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 02:48:59 GMT

what's up, hola, and how's it goin?
so i just reciently traded my 95 jeep wrangler for a 90 300zx. bone stock, 2 seater, and no twinturbs. i'm not new to cars, or the performance industry...but then again, most of the stuff you guys are chattin about blows me away. lol. anyway... i'm thinkin about some small things first...small engine work, catback exhaust, and maybe some new neato ecu...that's after i finish replacing all the wear and tear on the 16 year old.

anyone have anything to say?

oh yea...i've been very interested in the sideways realm of drifting. anyone have any pointers?

where to start?

Davis — Sat, 02 Oct 2004 11:36:35 GMT

i've had an interest in drifting for a while now, not some stupid fanboy "OMG I RACE CARS" kind of interest but a genuine interest. but i dont know _anyone_ else who is and therefor i have no (real) way of learning other then experimentation. i dont have the car for it now (84 VOLVO stationwagon! <with super rad-ass soundsystem :D>) im very seriously considering getting a newcar sometime in the near future (2nd gen rx7 possibly?)

but yeah, backstory aside.

what is the advice all of you would give to somone just starting?
