I will try this too (the dance).

Although I don't know that the ABS has ever kicked in for me. It was more of a "loosing angle.. need more so lemme just smash this pedal down here and ohhh would you look at that I am still slowing down and straightening out slowly." Car just wants to turn so badly it seems.

- Totally fine tbh the fact that nothing comes unexpectedly like this, even grip comes and goes gradually is what I love most about these cars so it's not like it isn't fun anyway lol

@Jordanwolf I stopped myself from responding like that ONLY because it was @humfrz and not some random but you are fearless lol.

For real tho I agree.. they wouldn't make cool new cars if no-one could drive them.

I know for sure that pulling the ABS fuse is a drift practice, but I am no expert.

You two in the same place would probably result in Carnage.

Installed new swaybar endlinks. After the install, I challenged the car to play chicken with every pothole in the road. After throwing up, I realized I wasn't in a ditch, success! I did not crash

Had a nearly perfect drive home in the FRS today. Saw nearly every variety of JDM goodness from the past 25 years. Drove back roads the whole way, used something like 1/3-1/2 tank of gas (home and work are only 30 miles apart), discovered some new roads, and other than the first and last 2 minutes had absolutely no one in front of me.

I did at 1 or 2 points wish I had about 10% more torque, but was not able to use all that I had for about 90% of the drive anyway. So happy that Toyoburu didn't ruin the car with too much power.

Now here's the weird part. A fox taught me the real reason more power would ruin these cars. You see, if I had more power, I might have been going faster when it jumped out in front of me, and then I would have had a fox in my grill, ruining my car. Foxes, they're smarter than you think.

Thankfully, I didn't have more power, so I did not crash.

Drove to Daytona, didn't crash. Auto-X in the rain, didn't crash. Drove back, didn't crash.
