Hahahaha, yeah Z32s have the bumper bolted on very nicely. I've snagged a few cones and no problems. I'll be coming out once my angle kit is installed for some shakedown runs.

That can be argued. I feel it is better in that there are so many different track layouts that can be done at Inland Drift as opposed to Adam's with the same layout every week.

I'm noobs, so for me this is better than Adams, coz I can really drift here, as in Adams mor like we've to put a show for the owner, so spectators keep comin. well...only if my 2cents count.

[xpl2007]

Remember this is the first show. Its only, hopefully going to get better.
Im done with messing around time to finish my car.
Open diff, automatic, underpower, dosnt = fun anymore like it use to...lol

i will say parking lots are ALOT easier for beginners then a actual course, but when your trying to improve fast no parking lot can do what a actual course can. wether its HTM, Adams, or streets, real courses teach you proper lines, a parking lots can only take you so far then your stuck. its great having another cheap venue close to home!

Agreed.
Plus Adams is so small and tight, you dont really get to open it up and learn how to hold a drift.
I saw alot of adams track locals spinning out when they actually had to drift, and not just get the car out for a few seconds.

Agreed here too.
Thats why on Thursday I had Rudy and the staff put out clipping points. Cause if a parking lot is just open, I get bored real quik.

Both tracks have their positives and negatives.
So it just depends how you drift and what your looking for.

I personally like initiating against walls and drifting along them wide open with shallow angle.
And I like the challenge of pushing my SOHC as hard as I can and getting the most out of it.
I need to just do an Adams event on the weekend, Im not into risking my car with other drivers I dont know for someone elses profit.
And 225's on a SOHC at adams was a mistake on my part, lol.

Cant wait for tandem at Inland!!

also, the way i ran the track like Tommy did, no, your car is not going to do 3rd at all

Thanks Jeff, good to hear some solid input.
I think my RSR's springs are only 1K less than Megan coils.
But I know there is alot to learn about preload,height, yada yada, lol
So that sounds like a good plan.
Plus my ride height is killing me and everyone else that wants to have my back, lol.

But hey, even tsuchiya keiichi started drifting with underpower car, so why not? haha.

thats what I was talking about too.
I know the couple larger qualifyers and things I have tried in the past dont want to see much steering adjustments.
And they dont wanna hear you let off.
So I figure the angle kit with higher HP will let me get more angle but be able to maintain drift, and the HP will let me throttle adjust instead of steering.


Of course, with my stock exhaust, no one can hear if Im on or off it, lol.



Cant wait for some money and to get back out there!!
