The pack of smokes flying around was just for showwing the effect of real G's. LOL
One thing I suggest if it permits. I practiced drifting in the snow really slow motion like 1200-2200 rpm slow-mo drift to figure out how the car reacts. try it out you might be supprized by your next season. I noticed more in slow mo like leting the steering wheel do its own thing and you just give it minor input to keep it in the direction and angle you want. I also sugest doing al little auto cross if possible becase that will help you with low to mid speed higher RPM handling in the car. Good luck guys. My turbo is blown in the SR right now but if i get it fixed in time I might just go to the track on thanksgiving to completely end the season. snow drift is coming to misawa soon.

that way we can actually get to the track
they also do ice drifting.. so im going to see about getting some studded tires.
the first order of buisness is to locate a diff.

I have my other beasty 240 which I call the truck for this winter. It has beefy snow tires on the back and the entire back stripped out. I fit 9 tires on rims in the back of the car somehow. It used to be used for hauling my friends tires and misc stuff to the track before i bought another 240 for drifting.
Basically everything bad about 240s happened with this car. Huge holes in the floor, frame in front is rotted out, rear toe adjusters are froze and one of the wheels is toed inwards in the back. It makes the *** wiggle on wet roads. HAHA.
It was bad when the rear struts were blown.
LET ME SEE THAT BOOTY BOUNCE! LET ME SEE THAT BOOTY BOUNCE!
