Going for broke
Just came across this thread and got to say I like what Im seeing. Pretty nice little set up on your 8 especialy like the roll cage.
The track your drifting on looks pretty dope and better than some of the other tracks ive seen.

^^Que?
this girl came to the last event and actually put together a decent video. It's the best one I've seen from that day yet, but the video quality is only decent. I think people get lazy with gettin video footage up. hope you enjoy.... http://www.vimeo.com/15270343

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Honestly though, the car is done. I may put in an FD steering rack this winter, but that would be it. As far as the motor goes, I'm not going to touch it until it blows. I'm really happy with the way it is (I'd love more power though haha), but I would like to start saving my money (i.e. not pissing it away on the car). I got rid of the S13 because it was a consistent money bucket, but I feel like with proper upkeep, I can drift this thing for another 2 years before I run into huge issues. keepin my fingers crossed though.
And I dunno what website this is, but it has some good pictures of the track that we drift at most commonly. Its our favorite. Sweet elevation changes. http://www.mmracing.biz/2008National.htm

yep.....******* rock/boulder about 12 inches in diameter was just sittting in the middle of the damn grass. If I would have run off the track a foot in either direction I would have been fine.
Pretty much blew up my front bumper (i might try to refiberglass it, couple of buddies have done it and it turns out great), may have fucked my intercooler (bent up a little), smashed my koyo, and my fan blades behind the radiator broke off.
Other than that I think its ok.... I haven't touched it yet though. Honestly, I'm glad to see the season ended. I want to let her sit for a couple months and start letting money sit in my account instead of pissin it away. I'll fix her up come march, no big deal.
Here's a cool video of keith in the cressida you guys were saying you knew. There are a couple pretty dope tandem clips of me behind him. http://vimeo.com/15142352

He has some SERIOUS compressor surge.. FTL.
Nice videos of course though.. I love outside mounted footage. That big wing doesn't seem to be stopping you from spinning out however it seems. Keep at it though. Takes a special person to abuse their car like you're forced to do in drifiting. Keep up the good work.

hey bros. No real updates. Car is still running great...although i don't drive it much (sat all winter in the garage and just did one event this year). I'm actually thinking about selling it, any takers? haha but seriously, email azroto@gmail.com. I just think I'm going to take a little break for awhile from drifting...might make it back. might not. kind a sad day really
