    Back from the dead, once again

    Sup guys! It's cool to see the SFL community still growing. For those of you that [don't] remember me, I live in Tallahassee now, so you're most likely not gonna see me in any FWD Corollas again anytime soon lol. I've got an 84 Turbo Volvo that I'm building for once-in-a-whiles (unless the...

    Back form the dead... with a proposition...

    It has been a hell of a long time you guys. I'd be flattered if any of you fellas remember me showing up at the HIaleah events with the white FF Corolla. Good times. I never thought just foolin' around on the track would be so much damn fun and productive (as far as learning about how the...

    1.5 or 2-way?

    You guys know what I'm talking about. Can I go wrong with either one? I also heard that Heard 2-ways adversely affect daily driving (such as in u-turns because of the diff locking), is this true? I'm hoping to have my new car ready (and keep you fellas in suspense) by the December...

    Hip hop's answer to drifting

    It's called getting "sydewayz" and as a noun its referred to as a "sydeshow". Supposedly, it's big in the Bay area of Cali and been around since the 80's, and I couldn't help but relate this to the "initial obscurity" of drifting in several ways. Thought it'd be an interesting culture shock...

    Awake from the dead

    Sup guys. I kinda just been ghosting aorund here for the last few months, but for those who enjoyed my FWD follies (it's only intended as pure entertainment, no matter how good I get at it), and I've unfortunately sold my little white FF Corolla. I'm gonna miss the little guy. Really sucks cause...

    See you guys at Ultra

    I mentioned it in the thread regarding electronic music, but I guess it died. :p I just wanted to let everyone know that my friend is gonna throw down some tracks I've made for Ultra which will be highlighted by a singer that we're working with. Things are going well and I'm hoping you guys...

    Very informative link

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifting_%28motorsport%29 I feel that everyone should read this wikipedia entry on drifting; both noobs and veterans alike. I learned quite a bit from it. I hope everyone reads the intial paragraph under "Drifting" that says it can be done informally for fun...

    though this was funny

    AIM (and perhaps AOL) seems to have a chatbot to promote the new movie "When a Stranger Calls", and I gave it a shot. Thought I'd share the transcript. You'd think the bot wouldn't be so linear. Still thought it was a good laugh though. :D jill020306: This is Jill020306, brought to you by...

    4AG(Z)E headgaskets, need info

    OEM 4AG(Z)E headgasket spec Yo fellas, if things go right, I may be making much "progress" sooner than I can ever expect... but at this point I've been trying to research headgaskets and such and am in need of some info. Would anyone in the forum happen to know the thickness of the 4AG(Z)E's...

    this discourages me, personally

    it's threads like the one below that really make me not wanna bother with FF drifting; or much rather, keep it to myself. http://www.drifting.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-6325.html Of course, I shouldn't let it phase me, but I see it as discouraging when so many people are so hellbent...

    Just in case you all were wondering...

    ...whatever happened to me since the July 31st event, I've been hit by some harsh reality checks. Job-switching, my prospective career, and even the lame trials of everyday life have been keeping me away from my participation of the last few events. I've decided to go for a 4agze rather than...

    I'm going 4agze

    --I'm keeping my Corolla. I know I keep on changing my mind very often, its a nasty habit. But I realized the most efficient thing for me to do regarding my car is keep it and stick a 4agze in it. Maybe I'll toss in a 3sgte later, but for now, a 4agze will do. It would be too much of a hassle to...

    There must be more to drifting than I thought...

    You know, after reading the thread on the new drift team for the 2006 season of Formula D, I can't help but notice that there could be more to the local events that most of us in the forum participate in --- does everyone in the forum for the most part have the intention of becoming a competing...

    My car's going bye-bye

    Yo guys, I know it's been a bit since anyone's even seen me, and I'm sure I made some sort of impression on people by bringing an underpowered FWD Corolla and doing what I can with it -- but unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to sell it. As much as I loved the little sedan and its...

    My dream car

    I usually keep to myself about my ambitions and goals, because, frankly, not everyone cares, but for the sake of participating in the forums, I thought I'd post as well as ask about dream car(s). I love my car dearly, and I don't even plan to sell it (can't bear the thought), but as soon as...

    My performance on the 7/31 Ter-tech event

    Well, I showed up late into the evening, but I still feel I got more than my money's worth. Last time I counted I only spun out once, and other than feeling like the underdog, I feel like I excelled my performance from the previous event. It's amazing what just a little bit of track time can do...
