I hear that ...... nope, I don't "drift"; I'd just as soon the back tires follow the front tires .... ;)

Anyone else?

Are you my doppleganger? That is literally the exact same reason I decided on the FRS over an evo or WRX, AND I used to own an s13! :happy0180:

I was started to regret my decision but that was before I took the FRS to a drift event. It may be down on power but nothing tops thrashing your car around at the track. :thumbup:

I had an s14 then I got an s13. Once the s13 was stolen and stripped I gave up for a while.
My s14 also was stolen but when I got it back it was at least fixable. S13 not so much.
I am leaning towards 17 inch wheels since to me it makes more sense.

I would, but I made an oath myself to never ever try to drift or disable any eletronic aid on public roads.

Do it. 17s are so much better. Especially up front

I bought mine strictly to turn into a full drift car. I have been doing nothing but straight drifting the car since i had it. entered by first event with 700 miles on the od and 300 of that was driving to the drift event lol. Super fun cars to slide around cant wait to put some more power to it and a good suspension soon

I drift.
I used to own a S13 that I daily and drifted during events every month. Very fun car. I bought the FRS to fill the void of the 240 and it satisfies, but I still miss the 240. If I find one in good condition, I want to build another S chassis. There's a local drift event coming up and I'm probably gonna take my car for a few short laps (but mostly drift my brother's SR20 S13).

well...:burnrubber:

No, but apparently my dad has drifted mine on a few different occasions.

Leonardo 05-28-2013 07:41 PM

I have a 1/3 mile paved driveway with a hair pin corner. I have drifted my cars around it. S2000, GS400, FR-S. It is fun. I ended up on the bank with my GS400 one time. LOL I had just put a set of used wheels with used tires on the car.
