Default 1st Gen drift pics

A few more pics of my 1st gen at a drift event this past Monday. Still hanging it all out with only 173rwhp and 162ft/lb. Welded the rear diff solid in leiu of LSD for the time being.. much better. The car slides like a champ now and even with low power it will smoke the tires on demand and sway very controllably.

Enjoy

Yes, it is pretty common in rwd cars..especially 240sx's.. Makes for an interesting low speed turning circle, the inside wheel in the turn wants to turn faster than the outside because it has less distance to travel, so it skips and chirps on the concrete. But once you get them both spinning.. very nice.

As soon as I take care of a few other bills I will be going ahead with a torsen from a Supra, but for the time being this is a lot of fun.
