HOw did U meet Your RWD LOVER ;-)

Hmmmm I was fist looking for a 1986 200SX (S12), black, 5spd, hatchback. Saw it in an autotrader. When I looked around for one I couldn't find any the only one I found was a white, coupe, auto, fudged up exterior, but it was only $500. I went home looked in the auto trader again one more time and I found another perfect black S12 but RIGHT NEXT TO IT was a 1991 RX-7 GXL (non-turbo) I went to go check it out. It had PERFECT, like brand new, interior (i have ****ed it up since then but whatever, still clean inside) a little crash in the front, NO RUST...anywhere. and power everything, header back exhaust, good tires etc. So I thought damn this is a good deal for $1,500.....I learned many things from this car, like: Don't buy the first car you see until after looking at other cars, never buy a car that has an engine bay that has been cleaned, etc. So about two weeks after I bought the car I had noticed the idle problem and a few other things here and there. Then one day POP! So after that I learned how do to a few more things, like a motor swap on a budget, always check EVERYTHING on the car before you buy it like make sure the air filter is in, etc. lol

Some may say it was a careless buy and a waste of money for what I got because of all the problems, but if I could do it again I would do it the same way, because if I would have bought a perfect car (mechanically) then I would not have learned everything I did. I was a kid though, soo ya know....

My introduction to Drifting though, My good freind Peter Rigopolous showed me a video from Japan called Initial D when we were in 9th grade since then we were all about drifting that same year we saw an 1986 Corolla GT-S on ebay for $500!!!!!!!! all it needed was a door, but we were both too young to own or even have enough money to get it. Now he has a very nice G35 and after driving and being driven in it, I think its the only new car I would get.

and that's it, sorry it was long but it's my favorite story....besides my China Buffet one hehehe
 
1981 Toyota Celica Sunchaser. It was a beater my dad bought for me and my brother to learn how to drive in....I used to go slide it around this old rock quary that had a long dirt road leading out to it with a couple of turns. I miss that car, now I have a 1981 Celica Supra....and a Tic Tac..1994 Mazda Miata. I heart both of them.
 
Been a jap-dork most my life. Used to "study" japan/culture/the language. Always liked cars since I grew up around racing. Don't even remember where I first saw drifting.
 
ehh well me I have always been into the import scene and a couple years back I was able to get my hands on my very first jdm vid (which happened to be an option) and I watched it and I almost creamed my pants when I saw the **** these guys were doing... I would always have the idea in the back of my head but didnt really get into it until I found the forum through some chick that worked with gangsta been hooked ever since. Picked up my s13 from jorges cousin when I lived in fl. and now im the owner.president of my own site up here in CT.
 
what is drifting?

jk um well I always wanted a two forty ever since I watched initial d and played gt3 drifting cars. about 3 sum years ago. My cousin PINOY Drifter started gettin into drifting not too long ago, and since he had a 240 he was willing to sell me, he actually let me trade my neon for it so I could start drifting in December in Orlando.

Im lovin my first 240. I'm learning alot and can't wait to really maintaining a drift longer than I did in my neon lol. Rwd is so much fun. I don't know how I could ever go back. Like Rwdrift said, theres no better way to fix a flat surface on a tire from ebraking.

these are very nice storyss...Put tears into my eyes...LOL..well good luck with the cars all yall have now. :) ...Things neva stay the same
 
I fell in love with the FD because of Fast and the Furious... I live my life a quarter mile at a time.




Just kidding... I've loved the FD since I first saw one in 1996. At the time, I didn't know what it was, but a couple years later I started doing research on them and learning about them. The more I learned, the more fascinated I became. Fast forward... One day and a lot of hard earned money later, I got one. :)
