n2motorsports-not taurus..and yes matt panic was there. hes actually drifting for drift office now in this red 20v coupe ae86. heres a pic of matt fuckin killin it. he actually won the event.

That car is fucking sick. The coupe 86's are so much better looking than the hatches.

[8atman]

agreed but man Eric's e30 is looking ill out there. Its really cool to see e30's out there smashin on the normal guys. Makes me wanna save faster for my turbo and get my ass out there and learn.

Find a drift event and give me enough time to plan a trip... I'll gladly go if the plane ticket isnt a rape.

I will see if I can make it out to the 22nd event. I am not working and that is before school starts up again.

i may hold you to this hahaha... you just have to show me how you did it when your done

[M42Technik]

its just been fixed right so you cant really tell until you get real close...

Thats why I'm surprised that you're throwin' dorito's and knockin out taillights :)

Seriously though, I would wuss out if my car were straight and lift off the throttle...and if there's one thing I learned from Erick...

Don't even buy a turbo kit. Power is only for those skilled enough (and ballsy enough) to take wide enough lines to need power to carry it through. Just learn with what you've got.

The M20 is a great stock motor to start drifting on. Just save your money for suspension, a clutch, LSD, a bucket seat, TIRES, event entry fees, TIRES, some Sportmax's, TIRES, and Jack in the Box.

^ What he said. Power really puts a hold on your learning, because it makes "the basic" stuff so easy. You end up not even challenging yourself. I was open diff, stock n/a for over a year before I commited to a turbo.

Wish I had some cool drift events here in Iceland...
Great to see you in the top 12!

What diff. are you running right now Erick? I'm wondering if I need to rebuild mine for higher lock-up or just keep it at the stock 25%.

Also, are you having any oil starvation problems in your M20 drifting? I hear that's a big issue with a lot of M20-powered track rats on left-hand sweepers.

Yes and more rigid. I have owned 4 of them.

My motor's always been running strong and as far as I'm aware, S14s are the ones notorious for oil starvation. :p Something's up now, but it sounds like an electrical/ignition issue more than anything... but the motor still sounds strong.

As for the diff, I'm using a stock S2.93, which really isnt my cup of tea. Love it on the highway... and makes my car a highway monster, but for drifting it kills my 3rd gear as I can never get boost (unless I go suicidal) to keep the drift going. So I'm always stuck on 2nd for drifts, working my way around with ebrakes and clutch kicks.

I'm considering jumping back to a 3.73, but we'll see what happens.

PS: Hatch AE86 > Coupe AE86. Looks-wise. :)

[Digitalwave]

Erick, get a 3.25 or something. Best of both worlds.
