I argee s13_Iketan "this had beter not totally fuck up the drift scene in north armarica " all we don't need is for it to get like streat racing w/cops and and shit like punk kids who think there all that just because they have nos, but they can't drive worth a damn so they end up geting there selfs killed.



P.S. no offinse to real streat racers

if you street race you're going to get the law coming down on you no matter what

Drifting is classified as dangerous driving. Cops consider a skidding vehicle to be out of control so its best left on a track

"drift your civic" need I write more?

[Suislide]

don't be worried about the "drift your civic" thing. i was worried too when i first saw it, but now that i bought a copy of the magazine, i found that it's not as bad as i worried. all that it is, is a question and answer with some of the "big names" in the north american track racing scene. they ask the guy's opinions about whether or not FF cars can drift. they ask guys such as Roger Foo (SCCA racer, drives a Protege 5, he answered "no"), Benson Hsu (proprieter of www.sileightymania.com, winner of amateur drift contest at Drift Showoff, he answered "no), Bryan Norris (SoCal drifter, drove the JIC 240SX at Drift Showoff, answered "yes" surprisingly), and a couple of others. more people answered no then yes, and there were no step-by-step instructions or anything like that. all it was, was the questions and answers. so don't be worried! in fact, i highly recommend you pick up an issue. it's pretty fappin' good for a first try. the only error i noticed was that they labelled Koguchi's red 180SX (the one he had at Drift Showoff) as having a CA18DET, and right beside that, there's a blatant picture of his SR20DET, the actual engine in that car. but oh well, can't be perfect. and i've started to stop worrying about drifting getting big. as long as it doesn't go totally ricey and played out, then who cares? we drift to have fun, so as long as we're still having fun, who cares if some little rice-boy crashes his Civic trying to drift? just keep it on the track, and have fun.

now that I think about it. Drifting won't become over blown like street racing simply because it takes some skill to, consider your self good at drifting. plus you go through tires like once a month or less

[WhiteBlur]

true, and once those little ricers scrape their 4,000 dollar paintjob they'll be like, "OH S***, NOT MY PAINT!" stupid f***ers, when will they ever learn

You say that, but it will be the same. Some stupid ass ricer will try and drift a 30mph street intersection corner at 70mph, because he saw some professional driver do it, on a closed course, with a car setup for that, and then the media will blow it all out of proportion, and everyone that does it legally, and responsibly will get the blame for it.

you drift cars that are easy to fix , as long as they do it late at nght I don't care
