Socal drifters

Hey everyone, I'm new here. The drift scene in my city's pretty small, so I was wondering if anyone here is from the Riverside area. There's only a handful of drifters out here, and the cars consist of 2 AE86's, 2 or 3 sil80's, and an SW20. That's, about, it. Anyways, I drive (well, I have, I'm still trying to get it running) a 74 Datsun 260z, with a Dual Weber carbs, high compression pistons, an 82 280zx 5-speed tranny with close ratio gears, 280zx rear end with lsd and 3.90 gear ratio. That's about it I think. Oh well. I'm tryin to get it together, but it's just a pain in the butt. Anyways, back to my point. If there's any drifters out in this area, we should all get together some day or night. Start a little club or just make some new friends. Take care all.

Not exactly. It's the chassis code, SW20 is to a second-gen MR2 as S13 is to a 1989-1994 Silvia. AW11 is the first-gen MR2.

Oh yeah, and we got another socal wannabe drifter here. I'm in West LA.

looks like your wheels are turned the wrong way for that drift. are you sure you're not just losing control and traction. or not doing a donut in the rain
