Time Attack is amazing.
Drifting in America is pretty lame.

There's actually a guy that would come out to the OSW events and was sliding with an auto. There's also a lincoln town car that comes out and slides.

um, sorry bit i gotta disagree.

i understand that its easy to hate on drifting since its a huge fad in america lately and its super fanboy and ****, and i hate that about it but i cant hate sliding itself.

its possible to like gripping and sliding both, i know i do.

and believe it or not it is still driving.

I think he means more on the terms of performance driving, drifting and oversteering = not fast

Driving: to cause and guide the movement of a vehicle;to drive a car.

Driving to me is any form of skillful manuvering of a vehicle.

Then theres the fan boyz. This is why I understand why you say drifting isnt driving.

*There are plenty of options when it comes to Autox style driving in Kansas, but if you're interested in drifting you have to do your own thing if you get what Im saying.

For 1650+shipping you can get it from several places in Canada, such as JDM motor import or JDM racing motors. It would include the tranny and it would be at most 260 dollars for shipping(that is what JDMracingmotors.com lists as their max shipping price to the south. So it is about the same as importing it yourself maybe even cheaper when you consider the transmission costs.

That price for an SR without a tranny seems just average.
