im sorry, Emerald, but D1 is a drift event. Not a car show event. Although they do have a car show, but mostly JDM cars. cars with JDM look, parts, style, etc.

I dont think theirs anyway you're going to drift your car, because of the power from that motor, and the automatic tranny.
I've tried drifting my car.. got sideways a few times, but too hard to keep going, so i end up spinning out a few times.. because auto tranny cant keep its rpm. Unlike what you can do with a manual tranny, and down shifting..

Nice try tho.

Nice try? LoL!!, I assure you that your SC4 is NOTHING like mine from the inside out. I have no problem doing it even with full stereo in the rear. Ive been doing it for YEARS before it was turned into a fad. and everyone with an internet connection became an expert.
Im just not the type to 'run mod list' or post a picture or start a thread everytime I get/do sumthing new....not my style and you will never see a thread that starts with: "Look at my new MOD".


I show this car because I can, and to show that it doesnt have to be stripped down to get the job done if tuned right.

JSPEC 180sx is my main D car


Thanks for playin' tho

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Now are these pics new or old? The reason I ask is the car used to have the little carbon fiber mirrors like Emerald has. I'm not sure if I like the red ones in the pic.

Mine was 1990 S13 (bought it brand new) and had engine swapped to SR20DET, It had 180,000 miles before the swap. I put another 43,000 miles before I traded w/ my LS400.

Keep up the goodwork Emerald !!!

BTW, Do you know this site: http://www.240sx.org/ it will help you w/ your project.
