    man, i hate drifting/gymkahna, i was working at santa pod with rf, and the workshop is down next to scrutineering, well the drift days, they all screech right past the front door, it stinks. and then theres all the mess, the little strands of metal from the tyres go everywhere, which is not good when you need to wheel out a car that costs millions, literally the tyres alone are worth more than the shitty imports that all those chavs drive. rant over.
    16 is a good et. not camaro good but still good! was that your first time at the strip too?

    first time up the strip, i went to pod for a show day in 2007 but didnt really enjoy myself

    gymkhana isnt too bad for shit like that, but the drift cars did rather make a mess.

    the fastest 1.8 turbo proton was early 14s, we have a 2 litre turbo 4wd running at finale. should be mid 10s :)

    it is fun, pop the roof down (aslong as its not raining) bang the heater on, leave it in second. and let it rev while doing 30mph. gotta love the whole theater of it :

    plus when you boot it out of a junction you get some lovely arse out action :)

    im loving it

    there are plenty of people that charge them one way or another. i think ill just be keeping it as a cheap run about rather than investing in it though. gunna sling my old momo arrows on the rear. get some fun out of the tyres (blow em up to a high psi )
