Mr_A · 01-20-2003, 07:44 PM

Ken Miyoshi / Mainstream bringing you another top-notch drift event coming up on March 2nd 2003. You thought the Option event was mindblowing, we are now setting up a DRIFT CLINIC featuring the three top ranked D1 Drivers in a drift class and doing a drift demo.

1. FUMIAKI KOMATSU - Signal Auto. You've seen the car on the front cover of Super Street as well as many magazine pages. Now get the chance to get up close and learn what it takes to be on top!

2. TOP SECRET FALKEN D1 driver from Japan.... all I can give is the hint - Green RPS13

3. TOP SECRET FALKEN D1 driver from Japan... only one hint necessary - Rotary powered

Unlike the last event, this event is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC which means a gang of people are coming out of the woodworks for this one. This event will be held at IRWINDALE SPEEDWAY along with a JDM vs DTM car show being brought to you by none other than the infamous IMPORT SHOWOFF. More info is coming up next week. Keep your eyes out on the forums for updates!

Thanks,

JDM vs DTM? does that mean there will be cars like BMWs and Audis, etc.. actually running at the drift clinic? I'd actually like to see some M3s S4s M5s, etc.. (basically some european cars and maybe domestics) getting into the same stuff

adey · 01-21-2003, 10:56 PM

sounds like an interesting event!

gabossie · 01-22-2003, 12:26 AM

Dousan_PG · 02-06-2003, 01:14 PM

im in. im in! i meet mr. yoshinori koguchi! yahoooooooo. so excited. werd is, might have his "red missle" 180sx there...sick. my favorite.

adey · 02-06-2003, 05:17 PM

Wow, you signed up! haha I'm going to sign up too, just not for 'advanced' ... that shiz too scary! Novice level, here I come!

drift into a curb · 02-08-2003, 03:11 PM

I'm gonna sign up for novice/intermediate, but was wondering what the intermediate/novice track was like? Just want a heads up, thanks.

adey · 02-09-2003, 03:15 AM

that's a very good point. Does anyone have a map of the novice/intermediate and advanced courses? I'd be interested in seeing how the setups are going to be like...

Dousan_PG · 02-09-2003, 02:10 PM

dude! adey! just sign up. they wont release that info until the day off. they always setup the previous day, i've seen it.

SIGN UP before its too late bro.
u need an LSD too!!!

drift into a curb · 02-09-2003, 03:05 PM

really, need an lsd? for novice?

Dousan_PG · 02-09-2003, 03:28 PM

no LSD=power slide

most IMPORTANTthing for drifting: LSD

w/o it you arent drifting.
dont live in denial

if you want to partake in drifting and suceed. you NEED an LSD. BEFORE suspension, power, exhaust. LSD and drifting are married to eachother. ask any drifter. professional or not. ALL have an LSD.

adey · 02-09-2003, 04:13 PM

haha, I've been signed up for a week now... in novice.

I'll be there man, I'll be there! I'll also be there at the gate with you guys on the 22nd.

drift into a curb · 02-10-2003, 07:59 PM

Yeah I agree, I'm still deciding on the LSD. Any recommendations?

ny_jee · 02-11-2003, 01:28 AM

IMO, it's your personal preference. If you don't already have one, anything will be better than nothing. Just be prepared to spend some big bucks. W/ that said, you have choices among Nismo, Cusco, Kaaz, and VLSD's stateside. Couple ppl have access to Tomei from what I've heard. And then of course there are more JDM LSD's such as ATS if you have access to ppl willing to ship from Japan. I've also heard ppl talk about Quaife, not sure whether these are stateside or oversea. In any case, money, money, and money. Money for installation, parts(output shaft), gasket, fluid, etc. Take caution breaking in the LSD, and more money set aside for maintenence. Real LSD's require changing of fluid to prolong life of LSD as much as changing oil on your car if not more.

Black240sx · 02-13-2003, 09:56 AM

There are a few of us from NICO that are meeting up at The Puente Hills Mall is right off the 60, exit Azusa Ave...

the showoff starts at 10 so we were thinking of getting there ahead of time to get good seats and meet up with more peoples adn checkout cars and stuff...

so we were planing on meeting up at the mall around 8:00-8:30 just so we can wait for whoever shopws up and then caravan to the place.

if you guys are planing on going and going to be taking the 60 and/or close by the puente hills mall.. please join us... there were 5 cars that caravaned to the socal20sx meet and it was fun. got to meet a lot of new peoples... so come join us... after all we all are 240 owners!!!

Black240sx · 02-14-2003, 03:44 PM

anyone interested???

ny_jee · 02-14-2003, 07:14 PM

I live rite next to the mall, if I manage to get up that early, I'm down to meet up w/ y'all. However, if you've been to Irwindale Speedway, you wouldn't want to meet up that early IMO... 2 reasons, first, tis not that far from Puente Hill mall... Second, if you were at the Option event, there's really no "good spot" that you would need to get there early to get... Think of an autoX, then you'll know what I mean...

Yeah that's pretty much true. NOt like any early bird VIP box, but the people that do get there early, usually dont give up their spot on the rails. heh. But I think this showoff consits of Euro spec as well, so many more attendees, as well as your Fanatic "Import Showoff" fans that never miss any of these events. So who knows. All I know is that since I live in Monterey Park (close to Irwindale), thats less driving time = more sleep time. EIther way its 5:34 AM right now and I could really care less about what im writing. Good night/morning.

*revat619* · 02-18-2003, 01:31 PM

Happy birthday to me!!!

As a birthday present, my parents bought 3 tickets for the show! Just me and them. I cant believe they bought tickets. I'm still in shock! I cant wait!

p.s. And, yes, i enjoy hanging out with my parents

adey · 02-18-2003, 03:58 PM

I take it that means you won't be driving, eh?

It'd have been even cooler if your parents bought you coilovers or wheels! Heck, it'd be cool if your parents bought you tires!

I wish i could drive. I need to get off my lazy ass and get the rest of my parts together for the 5-speed swap

That and i need an LSD too!

Coilovers....now that would've been too cool. I probably would've screamed with excitement like a little girl if they'd a done that

coolerow2 · 02-26-2003, 11:51 AM

Who's going definitely, I needs a RIDE!!!!
