I'll be down for this. I'll probably look like a fool though.

I did a little bit of drifting in my 300zx but nothing in the FRS... Lets see how this turns out..

I will probably look like a fool too. I did lot of drifting on my Silvia S12, but last time I did it was back in 2013. Spent 2 yrs building Silvia S13 and had to sold it when it was finished, so I want to try to go sideways on FR-S very much.

We're all going to look like fools out there. Last time I was at Thunderhill there was a tandem drifting team practicing at the skid pad, I imagine we will look much worse than that. But that's what it's all about! Learning your car.

You'll need to have a roll cage to go tandem, so it's not for us

BTW: I think helmet and neck brace is required too.

TravSaidit · 02-09-2016, 06:13 PM

Just helmet is require and you don't need a roll cage at least I don't think.

I'm too scared of US cops to do it on streets. Back in Russia we were drifting on the closest mall's parking lot because we don't have things like reckless driving in tracfic laws there.

In Soviet Russia car drift you!

How about the 2ND weekend of March ? That will give us time to get some tires and what not....

I might be down but depends when..got a ton of stuff going on in next few months...truck needs a rebuild too before summer gets here.

I haven't had the FRS sideways that much since I've owned it but it sure is tail happy..sure it'd be fun on a pad
