Lesson learned, don't date redneck girls, no matter how hot u think they can be if they clean up.. because they will never want to clean up.. the whole idea of finding a diamond in the rough is just a pipe dream, if they wanted to be "hot" they woulda stopped dressing like a scumbag years before u met them

Im getting a jump on this 1JZ sc300 movement. I have a stock 1993 daily driver sc300 that im installing the 1JZ into, with a vis bodykit, ebay staggered 18in rims, some cheap lowering springs, new leatherette seat covers, some cheap gauges, and sell on ebay motors for 13-15k when 3 fast 3 furious comes out.

i went ahead and bought my 1jz manual and it will be coming in on the january shipment. i wish it was a bit cheaper but with the way that are going up in price i figured i'd get it now before the prices went any higher.

As a hobby and having fun on your own time it's fun and cool, now treating it as the biggest auto sport (and you consider it an auto sport) and setting up the whole car for drift is pretty stupid and going overbored!
Just my 2 cents, don't mean to offend any hardcore drifters lol...

mostly a bunch of 16 yr old kids that just get their licenses and think they're already pro "drifters" so they go out, buy a beat 240SX, talk about all these future plans that will never happen, crash it, get a hand me down, then stop dreaming.....

My drifting is limited to empty, wet parking lots in the early morning hours.
I don't do it to be cool (I try to make sure no-one is around). I do it to learn how to control the car in non-favorable weather conditions in case I ever need to use the skills to save my ***. *knocks on wood*
I have loads of respect for anyone who knows how to handle their car well.
I have no respect for anyone who purposely pushes their limits on public streets.
I also have no respect for fully sponsored cars or cars where the driver had nothing to do with building it.
With that said, my opinion on drifting is mixed. It highly depends on where it's being done, and who's doing it.
I also anticipate more attention from the city's finest and since it's pretty unavoidable, I've prepared for it by making my new ride look bone stock on the outside.
No comment on VIP. I'm a "function before fashion" guy.

2. I agree again. I have no respect for those acting like idiots on public streets
3. This one I'm not sure on. What is wrong with being sponsored?? Are you going to hate me because comapny's such as Meguiar's and Dunlop give me free cleaning supplies and tires?

4. The VIP thing? It is a matter of what someone prefers. You like function over fashion. Some like fashion over function. We can't judge ppl on what they prefer right?

I'm not even gonna hate you if you didn't pay a penny for your whole car.
What I'm saying is, you're not an enthusiast if you had nothing to do with the car getting to where it's at, so I won't give you respect as such.
I could just save up and pay someone to build me an awesome car. What do I do instead? Jump on the forum...read for weeks...buy some parts...and go at it! (usually get it wrong, or break something, read some more, redo it...
![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
You're definitely right about judging people, which is why I said "No comment".
I used to be into looks, but that's when I knew little about the car's inner workings.
When I learned about all the performance possibilities, I was instantly hooked and never looked back.
I definitely appreciate a cleanly modded exterior though. Cars such as Jose's SC make me drool, but I'm not sure he'd win any VIP shows.
Cheers,
~Alan
