Good to see that you're enjoying your SC without killing your tires.

Where abouts do you live in Az and where were you driftin, an indian reservation?
LOL...thanks. We were at a chunk of desert on Hayden just off the 101. There are scrubs there but its open enough so that if you happen to hit a tree then you must really suck at drifting. There's also no dips or holes anywhere which made me a lot more comfortable. I did do a burnout on the dirt and they open diff shined.....one tire dug a big hole in the ground while the other just scratched the surface.

Who is the 240 guy?

Is he from www.az240sx.org?

Im stuck between the nissan and lexus world too (look sig). We should start a azlexus.org or something.

I did the same thing to with mine, on a drive as well.. I know people say they would never do that on the sc. This car was meant to be enjoyed and driven. inside trunk is still dusty :P.

I find it that its particularly harder to do the 180s in the SC then it is on the 240sx, the steering wheel ratio from turn to turn is just to .. loose. It can be done no doubt, but takes more effort. I can't get it to be as tight of a 180 as I can with the S13. One day I hope I can do something about this... not a priority at the moment though.

ummm...i'm not sure exactly. I have two friends that have 240s, his was a 95 i believe and my other friend has a 98. I don't think we have enough lexus enthusiasts in AZ, there are barely any on clublexus. Well, if you want to go we might be going to have another desert drifting event on Sunday if you want to come....Where abouts AZ do you live? Send me a PM and i'll let you know exactly when we're going.
