RE: Post pictures of your drifter!
Hey, alot of us who competed in the Drift Expo (so cal) mess around every Friday nights at Best Buy parking lot in West LA. It's on the corner of Pico and Sawtelle. We meet at 10:30pm, and go on til about 3:00 am. Some of the Yokomo management team and a Super Street editor comes out to play. We have wood sections as well. There are at least 16 people on the track each night. Try to make it out.
Here's my drifter:
Pro3, award winning setup

Imamura is not quite Keichi, he's a D1GP driver of the Apex'i FD, and winner of the D1gp about 2 years ago.

The video I posted of the meet is a weekly sunday meet held in San Diego. There are also meets in Los Angeles county, in west LA. We practice on Friday nights (tonight) in the Best Buy parking lot on the corner of Pico and Sawtelle. I'm sure you'll find an address on line. We drift from 10:30 PM until 3:30AM. Hope to see any of you guys there.

Actually, Imamura won last season (2003). The car he drives in the US is not the same car he drives in japan, although it looks just like it. The LHD A'pex-i FD spends most of the year in orange county.
After the first rounds it looks like it could be Kazama this year, he is driving really well. That would be nice to see.

liberalswine, i love the s2000, thats sweet rims on it. is that ABS? it looks like you have a little bit of un-even wear on your front wheels, did u put camber on that? i thought u only put camber on tyrez (if u can drift with tyres)

, that would be pretty tight though.... the closest track to me is either Pegasus, or some little crap track in Pamona.... you know where I'm talking about... Both are just too far for me to go... [&:]

RE: Post pictures of your drifter!
pretty cool, but I'd get a new motor and an esc. Then get some ABS so you have Black tires and not white tires, ya know? but hey, it's a start... I am currently working on a trade deal for a TL-01 super modded with tons of extras... gonna make it my drift car , so excited!

RE: Post pictures of your drifter!
I haven't actually seen a mechanical speed control since I bought my first car. It was a gold tub chassis RC10 buggy with the white nylon/plastic parts. It was a great car, for its time (about 1988 I guess), and it had this god-awful rheostat thing for a speed control. ESCs are the best thing since sliced bread. They are such a huge improvement over any sort of mechanical deal, and pretty cheap too (think Novak Explorer II).
I miss that buggy, that thing was great.
