just a quick bit of video and a few pics from this past weekend in myrtle beach. had a fun event, the course layout was challenging due to the long stretch of straight to get to the back of the course but toward the end of the day i was getting it. i also got to get out on the banking to run some 90+mph entry drifts on the 5/8 mile oval. the guy that runs the track told us some of the mod cars that run average about 20 seconds per lap, and we had one seasoned drifter out there lapping the track in 24 seconds drifting the entire thing .

on to the video, you can finally hear the single exhaust... pay no attention to the chick on the bullhorn that talks too much .

out on the main course:




and my favorite, on the banking



gotta thank Eli at Red Star Performance for building me a solid motor, Brady Stribling for shooting pics/video all day long, and the guys at DriftMB for putting on a fun and safe event. i'll post more vids/pics as they come, the car was a real hit with the local crowd.

+1. but, i will say that for an import i actually like the looks of the car! and with it having a v8, especially an lsx motor, that thing gets an A+ from me. but i don't like or get drifting.

Cool stuff. I would never really call drifting a sport but that doesn't change the fact that it requires quite a bit of skill and is very fun to do.

hey it's not for everyone. it's a hell of a lot of fun though and in most cases very challenging. i've met a lot of people; mostly hardcore roadracers and dragracers that really think it's a total joke, then give them a ridealong on a fast course and generally they come out smiling ear to ear and giggling like a little kid. i'm not a big fan of judged sports myself, but i do it because it's great fun and there are lots of great people involved in the sport as a whole.

oh and thanks, i like the look as well. i'm not big into the crazy kits and wings and such, i like it streamlined the way it is. the roll-on paintjob isn't terrible either, lol.

ahh man, you should check out the next one if you have time. i'm going to try to come back since i like the banking so much and it's hard to find places that allow it.

Hey nice man. What kind of wheels are those? Also, what kind of muffler and piping size are you running? It sounds somewhat quiet. I'm looking for something that isn't too loud. Keep up the videos! Good stuff.

It's the slow way around a track. Cool swap though.

the wheels are called DT05-R's and made by a company called M2. they are only distributed in japan.

the exhaust is 2.5" duals into a Y and then 3" single through a straight through 3" muffler. i think what keeps it pretty quiet are the modified stock C5 manfolds on there since i haven't had the time or money lately to build headers.

i don't doubt for a second it would be fun to do, i just can't get interested in watching others do it. now maybe if there were identical side by side tracks that made it an actual race against someone, and not just time, that might peak my interest a bit. or, if more than one car at a time did it where it was still a race???

there is tandem drift, two cars at a time where the object is to keep close proximity to the person you are following. a lot of american drivers have somewhat changed the rules and try their damnedest to pass if the other driver goes wide. that is much more interesting to watch for sure. in the pro ranks there are two cars less than a foot apart sliding at triple digit speeds, it is pretty exciting to see that sort of battling going on rather than single car runs.

i'm just a poor young man trying to work my way into the pro ranks. figured i'd just share what i do with this car i put so much work into to fit this great powerplant.

Good job Erin!!

how are these cars setup for drifting? what type of rear are you running (open, limited slip with clutch pack, torsen, etc..).

how is the suspension setup in terms of alignment (compared to a normal car)

welded differential with 10k+ spring rates on coilovers. tend to pull negative camber for clearance and sideways grip. it just depends. you alter to fit your driving style.

Looking good. Clean S13, too.
