- MotoP (prominent forum member, taught Ken Gushi how to drift (source?), has a lot of tech info. & track time) said that the stock dampers are already well stiff for solid track use; he tried out some coils & said they were un-necessary even when set to soft all the way around =D
The general talk around the forum is that the stock dampers will handle most if not any spring, really well.

I'm definitely looking into the Cusco strut bar with brake master stopper, & the oil catch can, sooner rather than later; don't want my engine to get dirty, especially with all the crazy rev drifting we're getting ourselves into haha!

& about monday; I have the funds bro, lets tear this up! I'm bringing a friend Aaron Escobedo, he's been drifting for a good part of 8 years, & does a lot of vegasdrift events in his Turbo FC; he's the guy who started teaching me at the Gymkhana spot & hopefully we can learn a lot from him on monday.

Dude, I went to the gymkhana spot last night & got a solid 30mins before security... & there were 2 trailers there in the middle instead of just one! That spot is hella fun; when security pulled up we dipped quick without even stopping to talk or see who it was, but actually came back; I just wanted to talk & ask if we could chill; hoping it would be that security guard who knows Aaron & would let us drift... it ended up being that same lady who kicked you & me out last time we went =/

& I have a new spot that feels like ice... even Ryo got good slides outta the FWD celica, we actually looked good tandem drifting =P
Imma show you this weekend; its named the Skidpad haha!
I had no idea the stock struts are that good, i might just get a good set of springs then as well to save money ad just lower the car, I really need camber adjustment as well for my fitment.

Looking forward to that Vortech. Accelerated's turbo kit looks promising but i dont wanna void my warranty just yet. sticking with exhaust and maybe intake filter for now.

Im going looks first on this and then when the warranty expires, performance.

Lets drift it up on monday man! Also maybe sunday night we can hit up the Skidpad location.
