At least this S52 purrs real nice and the PO had his priorities straight with a cool guy CF Dinan intake instead of basic maintenance.

The front pads were down to 2mm, giant lips on the rotors. Lux console trim looks like a rodent's been at it. I won't even describe the nastiness that was under the seats when I pulled them.
Sweet german-flag blacked-out trunk badge, though.
It can only get better at this point, so that's good.

I have seen a few amateur "drift" cars that I thought were pretty nice, but most are beat to shit. Autox cars, on the other hand... Lots of really nice ones.
Im agreeing with all of you here. I do believe auto-x would in fact be fun. Something about wanting to spin the tires and place it wherever i want seems amazing. I can clutch kick and slide it out here and there but controlling a drift would be sweet. As well every "drift car" i have ever seen was rough on the eyes inside and out.

I honestly don't know why anyone would want to go drifting unless they had way more $ than sense......
I respect the skill of doing it right and not hitting things. The trouble is, you need very deep pockets and no emotional attachment to all the cars you will destroy in learning how to do it well.
