How did the 8s do?

 

The Fult Tilt 8 and Kyle Mohan didn't get past the round of 32. I thought Mad Mike qualified but he didn't run today, I guess he didn't qualify?

The FD made it past 1 or two rounds, he was pretty good

 

If it fit no problem it wouldn't be "aggressive" lol. Trimming that plastic off really isn't a big deal though.

 

Thanks for the update

 

Yeah mike and the 4rotor 8 didn't qualify which is a shame.

Full Tilt Rx8 got knocked out first round same with Kyle Mohan

 

dude honestly i heard how the judging style was wayyyyy weird. Well weird considering that i didn't know that the trailing car had to keep the same line otherwise they'd lose points??? I call BS on some of those calls...especially kyle mohan. I feel he got robbed. IMO tho.

i got fresh pics for this thread tho. Ima post em' up tomorrow.

 

Very true, and very odd that I am willing to do a roll but not cut a piece of plastic off my car.....

Got any pics of that by any chance?

Let me adjust my previous statement.
I want aggressive, but I also want it to look right... if it's so aggressive that I have to modify it by cutting up something that will be noticeable when someone is looking at the wheels, I need to rethink.

I want it to look as flush as possible, a little camber is ok. Maybe I need to do the rears in +37? And also, we were even thinking that I should go with the 255/40-18 in the back instead so that it's not too stretched on a 9.5 wheel, which may add to the problem of the plastic.

Didn't require a roll or anything, but after I put 5mm spacers on it started to rub that plastic just a little bit.

 

im not much of a formula drift fan anymore..

im waiting for T.I.T.S this summer!
if you guys want more info let me know

also, i will be going to adams kart track this thrusday.

and the following month i will be trying to get into inland drift. i think the track is in paris CA.

and i think i might hit the balcony that same month too..
if anyone wants to go and practice with me your more then welcome!

 

Yea alot of guys are going more towards the grassroots drifting because FD has seemed to get away from it. I'm personally looking forward to more XDC, ProAm, and Vegasdrift comps this year. I also can't forget to rep Drift Indy aka MDU Drift.

 

Riverside seems a pretty good place to live if you're into drifting, you've got Adams and Perris right there.

 

 

^yee yee

 

OH ****. NEED FITMENT PICS NOW. I'm headed to work on the car now, gona start massaging the fenders

 

Oh hawt damn; 18x9.5 +22?

 

Well in other news I know its not about wheels, but I got a quote on a formula D cage from a guy here in AZ and I'm super stoked. Once my stock interior items sell and I get my new Sparco Evo XL in, its time to send the car to get caged.

 

damn seems i got to go to adams this thursday, and check out the first 8 ever drift lol

 

btw alex your clar lookedclean i took some picks at the illest show

 

Pic's of some fitments and wheels from formula drift are in my thread i just put up...
