Really.

No, you missed the point. What ruined the scene was people like you. Who raise their cars higher then a semi truck, add -5 deg in the front and +10 deg in the rear, swap in a v8 and call it good.

This discussion came up many times in those relationships about cultural differences and how scenes work in Japan.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read in the history of Zilvia.

Who the fuck are you?

I know who Maeda is. He's an OG just came back to see if we had learned anything in his absence.

And Maeda is right. This thread needs more reading comprehension and less people with a guilty conscience.

The only people replying and saying that this thread isn't true are the same people guilty of making their "drift cars" into rolling piles of shit. Calling them missile/track cars, that they happen to daily drive.

But really it's because they're too poor and lack the financial foresight to buy a daily driver, and save some fucking money to make their car nice one day.

Fucking twice.

That fatdouche is in here talking shit about V8 swaps ruining the scene and ripping on Royal-T for his swap in one of the most recognized, bad ass 350Zs out there.

Buy a nice daily and leave the POS project in the garage.

Royal-T is doing it right, Fatdouche is what is wrong with drifting. Just spouting out rhetoric and being an internet tuff guy.


(that's what I did, my S13 is far from done, but I daily a 350.)

Thats the Paradox of the comment.

Cant slip one past you huh??

I wake up to eat cereal and continue reading this bullshit?


Lets close this thread. Old-schoolers already said it like it is, while the n00b idiots are coming in here trying to make this a "drifting picture" thread. Please, hurry up and die.

Cliff Notes:
- Obeewon had an epiphany
- Maeda came back from the dead
- Mano Negro is not Filipino
- Corbic supports knockoff parts, but is not pleased with the quality
- Cody Ace is a good man
- Def has a track car that wouldnt make a good street car
- Drift Freaq will never move from Los Angeles
- Eric Castro *knows* Japanese people and has watched the Last Samurai
- and ixfxi is still an asshole

/closethread

Your dog pooped in your cereal Mike. Look closer, those are not Cookie Crisps.

Post pix of old school cereal!

FIGHTING WORDS.

I never said that.

I was griping about the over-focus on buying products and the need to spend money to enjoy cars or keep your car nice.

I own three knock off parts, circuit sport tension rods (garbage/regret), Fortune Auto Coils (shit coating/paint- regret) and a eBay "test-pipe" (hard to fuck up a 12" tube).

There is truth to this. I'm tired of the emo turn hipster kids and their Rat-rod wannabe; Rusted hood piles of shit automotive fashion accessories.

[ericcastro]

I blame Karl and Chuck,
Shame on them for having fun drifting.













This thread is like a old ladies spinsters group.

Bunch of people talking about a motorsport they do not participate in, and saying how its ruining something they are into.
Keep spreading your non-experienced opinions guys, lmao!!
Everyone else will continue to have fun

/thread.

[illvialuver]

Corbic, you were defending buying cheap knock offs and used a knock off b.o.v as an example.

E.Castro, you may be passionate, but your full of shit.

To say something about a whole race of people, ( even though you may think it is a complement) is borderline racist. You basically said that Japanese people are close minded, only can do one think, like robots, and devote themselves 110 %. You can not lump everyone in to one stereotype.

Fact is , this is NOT true. Example, how can I have friends in Japan, that drift and track all their cars multiple times a month, but also teach, and are avid photographers? If they only did 1 thing 100 percent of the time, then he couldn't do the two others.
And quoting Tom Cruise? I know it was a joke, or atleast hope it was, but that is putting the full of shit cherry on top of your full of shit statement. Might as well be retarded and post a bunch of drift car pictures.


The title of this thread says it all, what happened because driftcar? People use the excuse its my driftcar/ track car excuse for everything.

Why does your pile of shit have a Nissan badge on it?
Because driftcar

Why is your car rattle canned?

Because driftcar?

Why does Eric Castro quote Tom Cruise?

Because he lives in HOllywood, ......and because driftcar.

Why do you have neon zipties hanging all over your car with no purpose?
Because drift car?

Why do you daily a car with a welded diff?
Because I think it is cool, and makes me a super cool drifter, because driftcar.

Why is you interior gutted on the car you drive daily?
because driftcar.

Seriously, you might track your car once a month if you are lucky, but you daily drive it all the other days of the year and you have your car set up for just that one day a month?

Dont close this thread, it is nice to read stuff once in a while. Plus zilvia needs to work on their read comprehension.

Japanese people are close minded robots that devote themselves to ridiculous causes. They are also a mostly homogeneous society that frowns on anything outside of typical expected behavior. 'The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.'
That being said.. Castro you're a fuckhead. I'm glad your idea of being Japanese is so positive but really... use your brain.

---------------------------------------------------

so is drifting about..

Having a "cool" car to impress dicks and chicks?
No. Doesn't matter the definition of "cool" you have in your head.. v8.. not v8... aero.. no aero.. busted.. or gorgeous.. It was never about this.

About having a bigger dick than the next guy?
Wrong again. While it can be a competitive thing, that's not the whole point.

I can't believe it has to be spelled out.

Cool looking drift car.



Also, DD-ing a drift car is lame.

[Maeda]

I DD-ed (sorta) a drift car for.. I dunno... 7 years off and on.

There's no reason why you can't (unless it breaks). Since when did it become lame to drive your car? and who gives a fuck anyway?

[Brian]

When you daily a cool drift car, other people think you're cool.
I remember one time in downtown Long Beach, I was driving my s14 and some dude in a big bro truck next to me shouted that i was a cool dude. so, you gotta stick your head out the window and look up and say THANKS MAN, cuz drift cars are low and bro trucks are high.

Building a drift car and drifting is only to make others think you're a cool dude.

Police probably usually don't think you're cool though. No biggie. I never got a ticket for my car.

Uh no. I was comparing Greddy to HKS, but whatever. I'd also tell someone to rock a $25 Bosh unit over an eBay one.

Your glazing over my point thu. My point is I don't give a fuck what you do as long as it's not an eyesore. The scene is not about parts or money, it's about people and their interactions. The scene is not better because Toyota dumped a ton of money into FD and drifts a NASCAR, nor is the scene any worse because HKS USA is gone.

Precision turbos vs HKS turbos.

That is what I'm talking about when referring to brand whores, not HKS vs Godspeed or some stupid shit.

While ur here, Do you still have that ka-t bmw? How'd it turn out?

Still have it. Turned out awesome.. until my turbo blades started hitting the housing..

I drove it for a couple years, and now i'm going to rebuild it. BETTER.

[kazuo]

i remember one time i was parked in front of my friend's house in my bucket-ass S13 and some guys in a Firebird sped by, tried to do a donut and spun out instead

that's when I knew I made it

Part of the reason why I sold my car is because drifting stopped being fun, and became a bunch of scrubs feelin' themselves on Internet forums because they had mad flush wheels yo or the newest knockoff copy aero that they bought and got a garage paint job on.

Or because they just think they're better than you.

I miss having fun.

I've been gone a while, so I can only assume... but reading this thread is pretty convincing evidence that this is the sad truth.
