I'm a big fan of drifting and would love to get a Corolla GT-S. Power is not everything. There is more to cars then just 1/4 racing. OMG You could get a awd dsm to do a 4wheel drift put it would be really hard
 
Theyre going to be using 2 gtos in the usa d1 grand prix, they best force those JDM drifters from japan to start drifitng in a mustang or something, instead of their bumble bee powered/sounding ricerockets. :p

here in america a 240 is not the same car as a 180.

but if you want to pretend to be japanese (since that is the latest fad now isn't it?), i'll have to correct you there too... their 180 is what we have as a 240 hatch and the silvia is what he have as the 240 coupe

so it makes sense when you say... 180 sucks... 240 is better? riiiiiiight :thumbdown

I hate to break it to you man, but 50% of the cars in the d1 have larger displacement than you do and sound less ricey. and it is a bit difficult to drift a car with a poorly engineered chasis and heavy ass car, ie: camaro and mustang. Please do some research before you say such things. :)

you sir are wrong. The 180sx and 240sx hatch share a similar chasis code. and the coupe and silvia share a common chasis code.
let me break it down for you:

The american 240sx Hatch(89-90)= RMS13 chasis, with SOHC Ka24e engine.

The american 240sx hatch(91-94) = RMS13 chasis, the M signaling the engine code, which is DOHC Ka24De.

The japanese 180sx(89-90) = RPS13 chasis, with Ca18DeT.

The japanese 180sx(91-94 & 96-97) = RpS13, P signaling the engine which is Sr20DeT.

you get the idea. The engine are also same for the 240sx coupes and silvia's, but drop the R off the front of the chasis code.
 
well a 240sr makes perfect sense. you can buy a 240sx with straight body, with decent interior and a worn engine for like 800-1400 bucks. then buy a 210 horsepower DOHC turbocharged 2.0 liter engine(sr20det) for like 1200 bucks. then most guys who are serious about it coudl do the swap themselves. (it just drops right in, with a little wiring harness magic work). Now you have a 210+ horspower car, that is light, strong, reliable, and RWD. and this can all be had for under 5k. and the sr20det is just as tunable as the 4g63. i actually kinda think of the sr20det as nissans version of a RWD 4g63.
and in my book, FWD=Handicap. plain and simple. and AWD is of course a perfect choice for a streetable fast ass 1/4 car, and/or strip car. but what about those guys who want to have a fun to drive everyday, and not have to worry about understeer as bad, and still have a car that can and will run mid 13's all day long wiht a few moderate mods. From my point of view, drifting is a harder driving style than drag racing. i am not saying that drag racing is easy, or launching a FWD car is easy, we all know that is a fine tuned art. the ability to control oversteer INTO a corner and pull through smoothly is not an easy task. I am not trying to make all of you drag racers into drifting fans, i dont care, but i do want you to understand that is isnt just some blow off bullshit. it is extremely fun, and entertaing. and yes i do have experience drifting, i just sold my 85 4ac powered ae86 about a month ago.

I think the same way about 1/4 mile drag. Redneck hillbilly garbage should stay in backwoods Hickville, USA for all I'd care. You can take NASCAR with you. The worst thing about these types of racing is the trash that comes to watch it. My hometown in Daytona Beach, and the one thing I hated was NASCAR season when all the mobile trailer trash rolls into town and clogs up the streets. :barf:

At least drifting is fun to watch when it's done by a professional team. I've seen one here in Japan where 3 drivers stayed side by side, drifting in unison throughout the turns which required quite a bit of skill. And it lasted for more than a nutshot of 12 seconds.


And this coming from someone who drives a GST which is not particularly good at either. Stick to your "60 roll" and keep your nazi esque views to yourself.
 
Yeah, i am wondering why everyone is suddenly Asian or comes from japan>???....

Im glad im a redkneck and live in redkneckland with my mobile homes and Muscle cars that go so fast they make asian eyes even squintier when we wip by with our mullets in the wind.

But seriously, Drift Racing will be like Street Racing was only a hundred times more dangerous and if this crap explodes like Street Racing did after FnF, there are going to be a TON of peole getting killed by moron ass teens (prolly a bunch who think their asian now because they can drift)


Drifting on a track is kinda fun to watch, but average idiots doing it is stupid, and personally i think drag racing takes more skill and timing than drifting... just my opinon

whatever, my point still stands, we live in america... so i couldn't give less a shit what a car is in japan.. i speak american.

everything is opinion but this kind of thinking is stupid... "i'm american, i'm better than everyone else." I'm proud to be an american, and a korean citizen, i dont have any bias opinions because of nationality because obviously that's what is wrong with the world. Stop being a pain. I guess controlling a car beyond its limits is moronic.

Not everyone has the chance to drift, but if you have a car, everyone is able to drag, be it may, a minivan or a viper, you got a car...you got a dragster. I believe drifting is no where near as easy, I enjoy both sides of racing. Also, a lot of the drivers that are in d1 are apart of the JGTC.

oh well, my opinion, i just never heard such hatred toward an ethnic group based entertainment.

my point is this... i don't care what a car is in japan.. we livein amerca, so our car market is the american car market.. or are you "too JDM yo" to understand that :laugh:

i think america is full of ####-ups, but the fact remains in america we have a different car market than japan. so i don't care what the ### version of a car is, what matters is what he have here.

i bet you're also one of those idiots that thinks drag racing and nascar take no skill :laugh: :laugh:

I see infinitely more wannabe dragster kids and young punks who think they're Dale Earnhardt Jr pulling off dangerous maneuvers on crowded city streets. Kids will always be a danger to themselves and others, regardless of what pasttime they choose.

I love Darwin's law.

How else do you explain that those types of racing are confined to a primary audience of backwoods sheep-dippers? Simple sports for simple minds.

thanks for re-enforcing your obvious idiocy. you apparently don't know anything about racing. go read some more magazines and pretend your cool, it's the closest you'll ever be to the real thing.
 
Ah, strong words for a sheep-dipper. You're not going to call me chicken now, are you? :rolleyes:

While we're pointing out idiocy, let's look at the following comment:

You speak American? I speak english, so it's a wonder that we can understand each other despite your butchery of the language! Pray tell, what is this "American" you speak? I await your reply with great suspense.
 
HighPSI TSi Guy said:
i am speaking american right now. what did you expect me to speak, japanese? sorry i'm not as "JDM" as you :laugh:

Some of the replies in this thread seemed like they had some thought put into them. This however wasn't one of them.

You are the stupidest person i have ever known...

Dale Earnhardt Jr's???

Dont you mean Vin Diesel Juniors you crack fiend idiot??

How the hell do you get that people who street race are Dale Earnhardts? Your about the stupidest person in the WORLD if you think that the Street Racing scene has ANYTHING to do with NASCAR... my god you are the dumbest person i have EVER seen on these boards..

ps...the next time you think Americans are stupid redknecks....We invented the bomb that knocked your people on their asses, so STFU and sit down.
 
Ok people. What the majority of us all need to do is un-wad our panties. So what? You dont like it? Then ignore it. So you like it and you hate people who dont like it? Then ignore it.

I hate figure skating and cricket but you dont see me bitching about it. :rolleyes:

Why is everyone getting so offensive here?

Easy there bubba, don't make it so obvious I'm getting under your skin! I poke, you squeal like a pig. :D

Let me explain in simpler terms to your extra chromosome: Dale Earnhardt Jr. NASCAR. Emulating teens. Reckless passing maneuvers in heavy traffic.


Your about the stupidest person in the WORLD if you think that the Street Racing scene has ANYTHING to do with NASCAR... my god you are the dumbest person i have EVER seen on these boards..

You are hereby awarded an "F" for reading comprehension. What would your parents say?

ps...the next time you think Americans are stupid redknecks....We invented the bomb that knocked your people on their asses, so STFU and sit down.

Guess what mullethead? It's American GI's like me stationed in Japan who are making it possible for stupid rednecks like you to live safely in trailer parks across America. :thumb:
