im sorry, Emerald, but D1 is a drift event. Not a car show event. Although they do have a car show, but mostly JDM cars. cars with JDM look, parts, style, etc.

I dont think theirs anyway you're going to drift your car, because of the power from that motor, and the automatic tranny.
I've tried drifting my car.. got sideways a few times, but too hard to keep going, so i end up spinning out a few times.. because auto tranny cant keep its rpm. Unlike what you can do with a manual tranny, and down shifting..

Nice try tho.

Nice try? LoL!!, I assure you that your SC4 is NOTHING like mine from the inside out. I have no problem doing it even with full stereo in the rear. Ive been doing it for YEARS before it was turned into a fad. and everyone with an internet connection became an expert.
Im just not the type to 'run mod list' or post a picture or start a thread everytime I get/do sumthing new....not my style and you will never see a thread that starts with: "Look at my new MOD".


I show this car because I can, and to show that it doesnt have to be stripped down to get the job done if tuned right.

JSPEC 180sx is my main D car


Thanks for playin' tho

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Now are these pics new or old? The reason I ask is the car used to have the little carbon fiber mirrors like Emerald has. I'm not sure if I like the red ones in the pic.

Emerald,
Off the subject lil bit, I was wondering how to be in the mailing list for an up coming event like this?

Regards

Mine was 1990 S13 (bought it brand new) and had engine swapped to SR20DET, It had 180,000 miles before the swap. I put another 43,000 miles before I traded w/ my LS400.

Keep up the goodwork Emerald !!!

BTW, Do you know this site: http://www.240sx.org/ it will help you w/ your project.
