Default My First Drift Car!(pics)

Today i received my TT-01 from tower. I immediatly opened the box and started working on it. About 4 hours later I had the chassis done except for the wheels. I used ABS for the wheels. When i went to Home Depot with my mom to get the ABS, she was like the car won't move(burnout) with the ABS, I kept on trying to tell her that it will work I know it will. I painted the STI body midnight black or something like that. I used the decals from the kit but I modified a few of them and put them were I wanted. 30 minutes ago i got done putting the rims on and detailing the body. So i decided to drift it in my kitchen. Its pretty awesome. It drifts pretty well. Everything is stock but I have an aluminum drift shaft on the way from tower. In the middle of my drift session I accidently figured out that it has reverse. So i did some stuff, like go full out backwards then spin it around and drift(tried) around the corner all in one smooth motion. This is my first time drifting pretty much except the countless tries with a few successful drifts with my XTM X-cellerator. Tell me what you think about the body!
