OWN!!! I CAN MEET YOU, You need to come, damn this is going to rock, SO are you in for doing it Beef, and yes i was thinking about doing it at aarf, and i know of a abandend motorcycle circle track and its so freaking awesome, i drive it daily when theirs no snow, it gets me pumped.

Dousan_PG · 03-20-2003, 04:53 PM

i'd consider it. only if it was a 3 day weekend. and it would have to be one of beef's organized ones. sounds like he knows what he's doing and has his act together (no offense meant of course). example: if i got monday off. take off friday, leave thursday after work, crash at my bro's in minn. and drive on saturday. leave sat night restop sleep somewhere and get hoem by monday night type stuff.

i'd do it. well, that is if the gas prices are low

i love drifting. and ive never driven across US.
hmm
only if 3 day weekend, i can make it. otherwise hell no.

Zemus · 03-20-2003, 05:03 PM

It would be great if i orginized it with Beef, i would love to do it, and we can do it on the weekend that would rock.

Hey Dousan, if it all works out, you wanna roadtrip together out there? I'd be taking almost the same route back and I have a pretty decent route back to MN.. It's alright after AZ..

Dousan_PG · 03-20-2003, 05:50 PM

yeah see what happens. depends on dates and what's going on for me. i might be out of country on vacatoin again in summer.

N1ceDrgn · 03-20-2003, 05:53 PM

alright, I just wanted to throw it out there.. It definitely make the drive more interesting..

Zemus · 03-21-2003, 06:54 AM

Yea it should be freaking sweet as hell, cant wait, we will all have lots of fun

Zemus · 03-22-2003, 10:10 AM

Racer X · 03-25-2003, 11:22 AM

i know that this is way off topc but does any one have a 97-98 240sx that wants to tell me there vin#. i bought a 5 lug hub from a nissan dealer and its going out. i need a a vin# from a 97-98 240 for them to warrenty it any help would be great. email me at [email protected] or call me at 612 242 7428 (there's an under score between professor and speed)

thanks mike

Zemus · 03-26-2003, 12:13 PM

sorry, 1990 here, look on ebay or autotrader, they sometimes show the cars vin #

thirteenlashes · 04-02-2003, 11:18 PM

I would definitely come, but I dont' think I have enough experience to drift yet. And I don't want to embarrass my self

. I also have friend that would definitely come, and he has some track experience, but only off-track drift experience. I have to speak for him cause he isn't much of a message board guy. He also is the new engine installer for autoimaging (may not be official).

mods:

my car:
91 SE Hatch
GP sports Spec D pro exhaust
kazama hicas eliminator on the way
sr20det on the way
z-wheels waiting for 5-lug convo

friend's car:
95 SE
s14 sr20det
power fc w/commander and bc
walbro 225lph fp
testpipe
downpipe
apexi n1 dual
cusco lsd
apexi shocks
eibach springs
pillow ball mounts (cusco?)
JIC strut tower bars
upgraded bushings
OZ 17x? super turismos
cute little silvia "S" on the hood.

Dousan_PG · 04-02-2003, 11:40 PM

thirteenlashes: if you dont want to embarass yourself, buy a LSD.

N1ceDrgn · 04-02-2003, 11:46 PM

Drifitng is all about having fun.. if anyone says different, they're taking away from it.. an LSD is a definite plus! more push around the corners..

For everyone else concerned, I found out the dates I should be in the area. Some time around September 20th. I and the car should be in the area some time before and after that date. Most of you may think that's WAY TOO late but with current events in the world, that's the safest time frame I can do..

I do wear a tree-suit after all..

thirteenlashes · 04-02-2003, 11:57 PM

stock vsld isn't good enough? I was planning to upgrade eventually, but need to put the money elsewhere now.

and oni, is that Tiff on your avatar? Host of "Top Gear"? That guy rules, and so does that show. Wish it was on over here.

thirteenlashes · 04-02-2003, 11:59 PM

I guess I have some experience...snow drifting is a blast! but very forgiving. My attempts on tar seem to end violently, but maybe I need more power...

thirteenlashes · 04-03-2003, 12:00 AM

now that I think about it, some of you guys may know my friend...he went up to St. Cloud a few times last year. He owns a green 95 s14 with white wheels. I also sort of know David, who drives the white wrx with tons of s*** done to it.

N1ceDrgn · 04-03-2003, 12:01 AM

...maybe some more power and definitely some torque... some from the engine and the rest from the vlsd and your skills as a driver...

I met and talked to your friend with the S14 last year. I'm friends with that goofy bastard David too...

Hope to see you guys out at the track this year!!

driftk2000 · 04-08-2003, 07:06 AM

Where can drifting events be held at by the way.

Crab Spirits · 04-09-2003, 06:48 PM

I'm in if it's on a sunday or better yet, a 3-day weekend and well organized. If some drift stars show up, I'll take off work. I can bring at least 2 more people from club4g.com. I'll let those guys know about this too, so you might get even more people. I have a drift prepared z31 and I should definetly have the silvia together before the event. We have been starving for drift events here!

whiterabbit · 04-09-2003, 07:44 PM

so is it just going to be you s13 folks or can i roll up in my 86? Cuz my boyz and i will show up. no doubt only live in the twin cities n e ways so not so far of a drive for me.

N1ceDrgn · 04-09-2003, 09:05 PM

I was just at the RSR drift event this last weekend, I don't see why not. I'm just one person but I don't think it would be a problem. Providing it didn't get 'too' outta hand, I think it would be a good time. Where I'm used to racing and drifitng, it was all about fun. Who showed up is who came out to play. We all had fun together, 180's, Silvia's, a Skyline or two, an S14 or two and of course the cuckoo's came out in force but it was all a good time..

battlestylespl · 04-09-2003, 09:52 PM

i'm very interested in this....i am in wisconsin and i will definately try to make it....

So that's who bought Ben's car... I'm very glad to see it's going to someone that sounds like they are going to drive it the way it's supposed to be driven.

ill get it to work later, and what is MHSC

We will eather have it at AARF or this track, we will see

Beef · 04-11-2003, 01:35 PM

MHSC is the MN Highway Safety Center, it's the St. Cloud facility that AARRF uses.

To answer the question, no, it's not the same place. The facility that Oni is talking about is in the White Bear Lake area.

First AARRF event is next Thursday, 4/17 at DCTC. My car won't be ready yet but I may stop by.
