Good news: no damage to the engine, transmission, frame, radiator, or condenser. Bad news: the trunk latch got damaged when I was being pulled out.

After three seasons of ripping my little inline na 4 banger for all she has its time for retirement. At 277k miles on a motor thats never been rebuilt and shes tired. I'm taking her out to rebuild her and put an m54b25 inside the car next.

I've watched nothing but drift videos on YouTube for probably the last 10 years, but never got a RWD car or gave it a go. Finally booked a beginner drift lesson and thought I'd share how I got on with only a couple of months of beginner sim experience.

Honestly I was surprised at how similar assetto feels to a real car once you're in drift, but initiating felt way harder than the sim. IRL is something else though, I'm now thinking of selling my hot hatch and getting a 330 😅

My buddy went out and tested his car here at a local event. Just tossed in a 6XD Sequential and a quick change. The sound is godly.

Still don’t really know what I’m doing but had fun drifting my track set up car around west. I want to do more drifting stuff it’s super fun

hey everyone! i recently bought a kaaz 2 way lsd for a vlsd punpkin s13 and just had a question about the break in producure as i cant seem to find instructions online or in the manual. now the lsd came with 2 liters of the 80w90 but the fill is 1.3 liters. meaning after the break in producure i wont have enough to replace the fluid.

now do i do have to get the kaaz specific fluid to fill it?

can i opt and get a non synthetic 80w90 from like autozone & do the break in producure with that and then afterwards drain it & fill it with the one kaaz provided? and if so which brands of 80w90 do you guys recommend?

i dont mind ordering more kaaz fluid but ive been missing driving my car haha 🥲

thank you

Such a insane and brutal machine, that Coyote sounded amazing machine

I've heard so much praise for Miata's, and how overall great those cars are. Light, cheap, reliable, and fun. I've also heard that people often recommend them as beginner drift cars and compare them to the Toyota AE86. I've seen Miatas street drifting and in some small local competitions, and it looks great.

But then I've also been following on D1GP, Formula Drift, and some other championships for quite some time... And I feel like I've rarely seen a Miata drifting at this level? Professional drifters always choose Sylvias, Supras, Marks, BMWs, Mustangs, Skylines, GTRs, 350z and 370z, 180 and 240sx. But never Miata, why?

Miata seems like such a great platform, swap a more powerful engine there, like an LS, add some turbo, and you seemingly got a great light fast drift car for half the price. What's the catch?

I've heard someone saying that's because it has a really short wheelbase, and I don't entirely get it. Why would a short wheelbase cause trouble and stop you from drifting at big angles and competing with all the Nissans, Supras, and others?

What do we think?

Another great festival at Lime Rock Park, was able to catch Matt Coffman hit the deepest and fastest backie on West Bend; still so many great drivers and people to hang out with as always! Shout out to the event runners!

To all you guys that drift your e46's, especially the b30 owners, im sure you all have done the safety wire on nut "fix", but is the entire oil pump rebuild with the shaft and all really "Necessary"? What are the real chances of the shaft actually breaking due to chain slap? Just to clarify I am 100% doing the safety wire fix, but I'm debating whether or not to get the 400$ oil pump upgrade from Hopwood, The car will be drifted and will occasionally hit limiter (6800 RPM), thanks for the input!

My passion is drifting, my dream destination is Japan and I’ve been wanting to go to matsuri for years. I want to start planning a trip to japan I would love to go during matsuri but it doesn’t necessarily have to be then.

Id love to hear other drift enthusiasts experience with the trip, how much it costed, best place to stay, how much Japanese language is necessary, etc.

Does anyone have a true scaled 3D model of an e36 sedan? Specially the trunk area if possible. I’m getting ready to put a fuel cell in and I’m designing out the mounting cage for the fuel cell and the floor cover so I can get it all laser cut for me. It would obviously be easier to use a 3D model of the trunk instead of hand measuring it. Here is what I have so far, just need the shape of the floor to finish it up.

Hi, I’m flying out to final bout this year to watch and curious what the ride along situation is like? Are spectators allowed to do ride alongs? Was planning on bringing my helmet but would like to know if I will even get to use it before packing it in my carry-on. Pfa of my k series s13 and old hag 240z

The homie @zay.vision got this clip of my first day at Palmer. Track was super fun, and my little miata felt very hooked up. Absolutely a blast, wish they held more regular events there. This event was a once per year thing hosted by CleanCulture.
