So to kick it off, I'll start.

This year I will be attending Spring Matsuri & hopefully Summer Matsuri as well. I have been behind the wheel off and on since 2010 and will be visiting from Seoul although I am originally from California.
(I will be in Osaka, Tokyo, Aomori and Hokkaido prior to getting to Nihonmatsu on April 29 to start working on my car)

My first Ebisu Matsuri was last spring (May 3/4) and I bought this gorgeous S13 via PV while I was still deployed hah.. It started off as a pretty car, but since it was my first time drifting in 4 years after getting heavily involved with racing motorcycles I had some relearning to do. On top of that it was my first time driving RHD besides my rental up to Nihonmatsu which doesn't count. So I went off course a few times, lost my front canards, jacked up the rear diffuser, and eventually smacked the wall on Kita course pretty good. But I had a great time and thanks to Andy & Emily I had a sweet place to fix my car. And also big thanks to all the guys who taught me how to mount/dismount tires!! I felt like a pro after a few training sessions! Also, thanks to the aussie when lent his Milwaukee impact to me while I was struggling changing my broken suspension. I since then bought my own milwaukee impact and will be shipping it over.




Here is some of the cosmetic damage my car accumulated:


Ended up snapping rear knuckle, bent front left LCA and bent tension rod. I had to drive my car down from Kita course with my rear knuckle snapped and the coilover only staying upright because it was rubbing into the wheel haha!

I haven't made a youtube video still but I do have some pictures to share. It was really hard to take pictures and video all while trying to get seat time...






The reality of Minami!
