    Your Dreams Came True, Ter-tech Parking Lot Event.

    I'm sure you guys know I'd be all over this especially if I showed up on my way from work for the last one --- but my car would instantly fail tech in it's current state; I have a cracked windshield and my shocks are all out of whack, to say the least. I do promise you guys that the next time I...

    I'm going 4agze

    Ditto, i don't hate them, just the posers that think unnecessary noise equals horsepower; it seems a great amount of them they just happen to drive hondas. I do llike the late model hatchback myself -- but yes, the posers will be pwned, surely.

    I'm going 4agze

    Thanks man, I fully appreciate it, and yes, its a happy day. Hey, I can assure you it'll be a happy week of Honda genocide as well after that swap is done. :-D

    I'm going 4agze

    You would gain power. AWD uses more horsepower (about 24%) so freeing up two tires from spinning will give you more wheel horsepower. FWD tends to have the least drivetrain loss. Some AWD Subarus and Eclipse guys convert their cars to RWD for that reason. AWD isn't bad, but each drivetrain has...

    I'm going 4agze

    oh no problem man, sorry if I came on too strong, I just love FWD, least drivetrain losses and bountiful understeer altogether. :D

    I'm going 4agze

    Thanks Lebbet :), yea, I do know more about Toyotas than any other make so far, and though I really do want punishable amounts of horsepower, I guess I can't invest more than I can even afford for right now at least. Toyota power, niggas! FWD fo' lyfe!

    I'm going 4agze

    To be honest with you, I was never interested in making or having a car that was RWD. Maybe that will change in the future, but converting a car to AWD or RWD is rather rough -- I was considering getting a Mazda 323 to convert to AWD, and you have to cut the floorpan and make some holes for...

    I'm going 4agze

    --I'm keeping my Corolla. I know I keep on changing my mind very often, its a nasty habit. But I realized the most efficient thing for me to do regarding my car is keep it and stick a 4agze in it. Maybe I'll toss in a 3sgte later, but for now, a 4agze will do. It would be too much of a hassle to...

    There must be more to drifting than I thought...

    yea congrats, bro, and I can't wait to see footage of you ripping it up out there. Needless to say, the stuff is just too much fun. To me, it's like that best class you ever had in high school; the coolest teacher, you didn't mind doing your homework because it was worth it, and there's always...

    There must be more to drifting than I thought...

    Yes! I am FF and will die FF! Thanks for the tip on the 323, Nelvis, it's much appreciated! Other than that, awesome responses -- however for some reason I just can't see it as a social competition in my opinion, FWD or not, I'd get too worked up. I just try to have a lot of fun and hope I'm...

    There must be more to drifting than I thought...

    Agreed, as much as I want to participate in the upcoming Dania drift event, I'm just going to replace my car's shock, windshield and sell it because one of my priorities is to have a nice but practical sporty low-end car (if such a thing exists, lmao), and personally, converting to a 3sgte...

    There must be more to drifting than I thought...

    Yes it was, actually. Just pretty much triyng to hear out everyone's reason and ambition for drifting! Your reply was exceptional imo, and your meniton of pro stuff reminded me that to my surprise, I was given praise at both Hialeah events I attended, and it kinda got me thinking that perhaps...

    There must be more to drifting than I thought...

    You know, after reading the thread on the new drift team for the 2006 season of Formula D, I can't help but notice that there could be more to the local events that most of us in the forum participate in --- does everyone in the forum for the most part have the intention of becoming a competing...

    new team announcement.

    Hey, much congratulations, I was flattered when Juan complimented my driving way back at the Hialeah event(s), but after seeing this, I'm beyond flattered seeing as he's made it into Formula D.

    Everyone Survive Wilma?

    I'm still out of power and I'm in Hollywood, I believe its some "minor" pole that FPL wil save for "later" according to the priority list. The whole hurricane thing actually pissed me off because I thought we had enough with Frances and Katrina, but then we actually had to be affected by...

    --and then the horn goes off in the end, hah. It's funny because I actually read the article first and thought these guys were in a big crowd doing donuts or something far more dangerous than drifting or gunning a street... I dislike how the media seem to exaggerate everything. I do find it...

    Man Vs Machine.

    yea man... it's ironic how heartless the 'machines' seem as they immolate someone-- namely the orange service truck and the yellow rally vehicle... to me, they almost seem like monsters running rampant. Crazy.
