I skimmed this but I think you should take any and all money you have and get seat time.
If you build a sponsored drift car it will be taken from you or you will have to come up with the money they covered if you get schooled by a pyscho kid that wants your blood.
Did I mention that I teach pyscho children that want your blood?
I barely know jack **** and I just guide our younger guys to events. They are rabid drift animals.
The only reason I am practicing this winter is to keep above what they learn.
Has your sponsor been to a drift event?

that would blow. but im not wanting to pay to have the ka rebuilt. so far the prices i have gotten are ca18det-1700 motorset/2200 clip, sr20det-3300 installed, and rb25det-2250 motorset. whuch one will i have the least problem findin parts for? i would think the sr since the de made it to the states and most if not all parts should be interchangeable.

I guess I would put a SR in there. You are putting yourself in a bad position though dude.
SR = Higher output and the bar is raised. I will stop there. Your sponsor should know this. He is running a business and is giving you stuff for cost. That is cool. My current sponsor does that.
Then again I have been in ever drift event on the east coast minus 2. One my car was down and I did not attend and the other I was there and drove other guys cars.
I will not get into the workings of sponsorships on the company side because **** they should know what they are doing.
I care about you.
Egg on your face does not feel good.
So, check what prices he is giving you against other sites. You guys are bagging on him for getting a TEIN system for 1300 cost. How do you know it is not a remote damper system that goes for 2k?
What system are you getting?
Have you drifted?
It doesn't take brass *****. I have tin foil *****. Easily crushed and they don't stay hot when I take them out the oven.
Not knowing the consequences of a drift also helps but that is not good.
Hit me on aim if you want some advice.
I am sponsored for wholesale parts and R&D on new parts.
I try and share what I am going thru so you guys can be protected.
