That's such a HOT car. Hell, if I had sponsors giving me free parts I'd be rocking their stickers like no tomorrow

sorry maybe i didnt word that right all im saying is that alot of drift cars are built almost identicaly, and im not negating the fact that there is a "drift" style. secondly on closer inspection the wind shield graphics arent as clutered as i thought its the matching roll cage that makes all that yellow take up so much space.
and my coments were only pointing out what i personly did not like. i was not trying to bash the builder or any thing like that.
as a matter of fact i realy like the roll cage, the 1jz with the single turbo, the fuel cell is great and that they put alot of time into something that will get really beat up.
And i do understand the point in sponcers having stickers but i also see alot of hot rods that have many sponcers and no stickers.
lastly as we have said many times i just hope our car isnt the next 240 but i do like to see the stuff and hope we do get a little more aftermarket support. (not to get of topic)

that was much better.

I'm pretty sure the SC is the next 240. Just like the 240 was the next civic. Reason why I sold my car .

Still shouldn't have been an excuss though, I miss the damn thing.

SC is definitely the next 240. Just look at the main page to see the "how good is the sc at being a drift car" what do I need to do to make it go good and stuff

The rear wheels have 25mm spacers because 15mm were not available at the time of the show. They are putting 15mm in the rear asap.

thats what you get when you can pick one up for 10k or less... come on guys these cars are old and have gotten to the point that almost anyone can afford. With the capabilities that we all praise others are finding out and soon will be "jumping on the bandwagon". welcome to the real world of hot rodding cars. this is all old news, think of all the 32 fords out there, literally everything and anything that could possibly be done to them has been and will be done again. just enjoy the damn things they are just cars.....

All hale, MASTER HATER

I am in the building. I applaud you haters. You guys are such haters. Just because the car is not bone stock like most of all you guys here on the forum does not mean his car is not good. All you guys here on the forum do to your cars is lower it put on some rims and then you swear your car is hot. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Let the man live. He got his 1JZ done to his car and will probably smoke most of you guys on a run. Stop Hating. The car looks riced out. Let me tell you something though, those same riced out car will hand you your *** on the street. I see you guys on here dissing honda's, 240's, etc. Don't forget that your sc's weigh around 3200 pounds and you need a really huge turbo to beat a ricer. I am like sick of the hate. Does a stock looking sc with suspension and wheels win trophies at any car show?

If Yes, SHOW ME ONE

I think about selling my car everyday, but I have had mine for almost 1/2 a decade now and I don't think I could get myself to sell it( I say that now though...)

Can you explain? Keep in mind this is a track/show car and not a street car.

Nice work on the s13. I did not make money on my s13 with sr20det. Mostly because it had bad rust though.

As I said in the other thread, great work on the car !
