Default Little drift video...

Went to Drift day 38 at U.S. Air in Shawano, Wisconsin. Here's a little video of the intermediate course...

Heres a couple pics:

Edit: finally got some time to do a write up.

Overall the car felt great, no problems mechanically aside from my powersteering fluid boiling over and my torsen lsd wouldnt kick out to the left. For those of you thinking about getting the supra torsen lsd for sideways fun you might not wanna waste your time. It kicks out and locks hard right but doesnt kick out left at all (i've only had it on for about a month and this was my second event with it.) I took a gamble and went with it anyways but this only solidifies what I read, it is a pretty weak lsd but it is great for the street. Pretty much feels like an open diff to the left. I think I may save up for a kaaz 2 way for next season

By the end of the day I was just flicking into the first corner with a clutch kick and then using the weight of the car to transition threw the rest of the intermediate course. That video was early in the day and by noon my go pro's 4gb memory card was full Hopefully ill be able to get a 16gb card for the next dday.

All in all it was a great time and im psyched for some more sliding at the next event...

Nice job! And with the relatively weak NA motor too? That has to make it even more challenging.

Looks like the car wanted to understeer the whole time.

Not bad.

With our cars you have to be pretty aggressive swinging the big booty around.

Keep it up!

Thanks man, yeah the torque is actually pretty solid and it being gutted and light weight mods make it feel pretty good.
