spotted THIS little beauty in Santa Ana on Saturday. This tough guy got all tough when I pulled up next to him at a red light. He started 'hitting the switches' as fast as he could. I almost stalled out I was laughing at him so much.

Nothing greater then rolling my window down, pointing at him, and laughing. :rofl:


Look at how high up the rear end of the car is...

Sorry you don't like it, I didn't expect everyone to. Its kinda funny I was telling some ppl the other day that once I put the pics on here I would get alot of crap for it. But what the hell I like it! :)

Figured I would ask the question in this thread...

Back when I had my 6, I went online to purchase the front lip, sides, and rear from Mazda. My 6 was 'lapis blue'. I realized the front wasn't available in my color and I didn't want to purchase the set unless it would match all the way around. I then considered getting the front, side, rear in the white that Mazda offers. A minute later I changed my mind. I had the Monte Carlo SS 2-tone exterior look in mind when I got this idea. Any opinions on this look if I had done it???

xsnipersgox 03-26-2008 01:57 AM

i like that 240 though, if he is drifting, the large wing actually helps alot in that it gives the rear wheel more grip, (think it allows for larger drift)

This post has epic amounts of fail.

He's not drifting, he's auto-crossing. "e-mod" is an auto-cross class.

When you drift, you want LESS grip on the rear wheels.

Even when auto-crossing you're probably not moving fast enough to get any benefit from the wing.

He's probably just looking to put as much weight as possible over the back wheels. I think he's succeeded with that park bench. That way 2 people can sit on it to keep the back end from oversteering.:lol:

BlackRX82006 03-27-2008 12:58 PM

Has anyone thought of how we make people angry as we pull up and laugh at them...they might be some wacko with a gun?? And we sit there and take pictures...

IcarusX8 03-27-2008 03:25 PM

Theyre usually too proud of there ricejobs to turn their head away from the wheel to notice someone's taking a pic of them. Even if they saw, they'd probably think we like what they did.

xsnipersgox 03-27-2008 03:46 PM

true, the art of drifting is controlling an oversteer, however, to go into a faster and larger drift, you want grips in the back tire and enough power to keep the backwheel just off traction, so you can drift with a smaller angle at much higher speed. if there wasn't enough grip in the rear tire, you won't have enough foward force to push through a large highspeed drift.


but if he is autocrossing... ..

someone get this guy a miata.. he dosen't deserve a 240

the 240 was at an auto-cross event

Go beat off to "Super Street." Drifting is already a waste of a perfectly good car, and I'm not taking any lectures on it from a kid who can't tell it from autox.

xsnipersgox 03-27-2008 06:24 PM

seriously, i like drifting for many reason, and i don't really know what super street is, but its not one of them. i moved here from that part of the world and u know what, putting cone down is a legit way of practicing drifting. autox is just driving around in a parking lot with cones using grip techniques while drifting newbies practice in a large skidpad/mountain/parking lot..

speaking of autox, i was planning to try it this weekend, but from the sound of it, i might just stay away and go to texas drift, save my money for my tires.


btw, using 240 in autox is a WASTE OF A GREAT DRIFT CAR

EDIT: y'all are welcome to join us play kid stuff with cones

A. "Super Street" is a magazine.

2. Let me know how practicing on a mountain works out for you- you can be like that kid who rolled his 8 off a cliff.

D. Good thing you decided not to go auto-x this weekend, you'd probably be laughed out of there. I'm sure everyone will be happier if you go off and be the kid who's too cool for traction.

5. There is no such thing as a "great drift car."

xsnipersgox 03-27-2008 08:21 PM

glad u care what i think

what i think is, always remember that the US government always uses the lowest bidder.

i think human is fragile and die easily


and god damn u grew up in a small town and had to drive 17 miles to go to school? /applaud


regardless,

ur still an ass. and drift > grip.

Thanks for the pics Pink Flea. that blue POS is freakin sweet! I should do that to my car. ;)



Ok, this is not really the place for this topic, but I cant resist.

I am an atocrosser. it is a blast. it is very hard and very technical. it truly shows you how you rank as a driver, and it shows you how well your car is set up. (or not). It gives you a new perspective on mods. like when someone tells me they got a new grill..... who cares, it did nothing to the performance of your car. (no I am not dissing astetic mods, just prooving my point). the grip levels are insane. you cant dog Autocrossers, if you do, you have clearly never done it.... or your not good at it and got laughed off the track.

now as for drifting I think its awsome! I have been to many D1 events and I have to say the skill level is amazing for the pro drivers. the fact that they can controll a car that is pretty much out of control is freakin amazing. and it's a blast to watch!

now with that said, I would never drift. talk about a wase of tires. the sport is for fun. it's a judged event which means your at the mercy of what "they think". in "real" racing there is a clear winner and a clear loser. In drifting if the judge does not like you or your style, you simply dont move on because he said so.

if you have a set of tires that you cant find something better to do with, then great, go have some fun. but how could anyone afford to roast a set of tires in just a matter of minutes, unless you are a pro and have a major sponsor? what you end up with is a bunch of low budget, crappy "drifters" that think they are cool because they were able to afford a few crappy used stock tires that they can slide on.

NON pro drifting is not impressive to me. there is liittle to no smoke, the drift angle is poor, speeds are low, and 9 times out of 10 the car is a POS like all the ones in this thread.

apparently this is really big in the "south", my friend also said that they do this a lot in arizona....dont know...

dozer 03-28-2008 11:47 AM

20s and lambo doors are really big here in santa ana too...they even got a "cruise night" were everyone gets to gets together and shows off their cars i tend to think its really "wabby" and definitely not my taste. but A LOT of people are always hyped up about it and think its cool, i dont.

tajabaho1 03-28-2008 11:58 AM

you should come to Socal, we beat all you in bling yo!!

btw, drift > grip

if you would like to die soon

besides, I love drifting, its riskier than gripping

but any retard can tell you that, if a car drifts around a corner vs a car gripping around a corner at the same speed, the gripper wins

fyi... pros from japan all started as "crappy drifters" with "POS" cars using "crappy used tires" racing as "stupid kids" on the deadly "mountain sides" as "dumb fucks" where they don't belong

not everyone have mommys and daddys to spoil them or have awsome disposable incomes to go to "advance driving school", paid instructors, and brand spanking new cars to learn to drive in.

ppl don't drift to be fast, it was to have fun. not everyone really cares about how fast u can get there, is if you can have fun while doing it.
