only if you did donuts, in gravel and called it drifitng.

good job. I found out last weekend on a closed autocross course, that it is tough to drift the 8. Well for me it was. Good job.

Is that a drop from third to second gear, followed by power on and counter-steer to induce the slide? Or did you start in second and rev match it down into first? What speeds, both engine and vehicle, were showing when you flicked it?

You got 32,000 miles on stock tires. With autocrossing and driving recklessly (and a nail in a sidewall) I only got 22 (prob could have gotten about 5,000 more out of them)!

I didn't nail the sidewall...I just went off the track and the sideskirt bottom-out..and was all scretched up...so thats why I said it'll be a easy fix....

but you only have 22k on yours and your tires are dying already?? I'm guessing either you like to step on the pedal to the metal when the light goes green alot, or you have 16" tires
