charles just came off like he was saying evans car was a piece of shit and not built for driving, when it probably has the same level of things done to each car. minus the sr.

it just seemed like an insult.

I think Charles was just trying to insinuate that 95% of all cars on the street are not really "made" to race from the showroom, aside from high dollar sports cars and full out race cars.

Although I do think that full suspension plus good tires makes a car capable of a lot of things that said high dollar sports cars do.

Just simple driver mistake..people learn from mistakes and move on.

true, but it just seemed like another one of charles' "my car is nicer than yours" posts.
if it wasnt, sorry for the mix up.

I thought sidesidehappy never took the road, so i was going slowly on the 1st run. I'm sorry i started drifting at tight turns?? and you got a lot of dust. All I saw from left mirror was you spun out at the end of last turn.

hey evan, over fenders will fix that very easily. you'd be surprised what those guys do over ther.e

let me know if i need to get you a price on some version select overfenders in the rear. you cut everything away and glue / rivet the new ones on!!

the 180sx and silvias which the 240sx is based off of was built and designed for more than a grocery getter. u could say the same about the ae86 our versions of both cars are crappier but the original designers had more in mind and design than grabbing groceries and kids from school.

what does having roll cages ,Seam Welds and bracing have to do with having a car built to drift?

what was mentioned about evans car being caparable to a d1 car?

if im not mistaken he was referring to his car being able to handle and having been made to handle. i dont think drifting was really even what he was talking about. i know touge involves drifting(if u like to).

evan, first off, i am very glad that you are ok, and that your car is driveable. what doesnt kill us makes us smarter (i hope).

my question to you is, while you were out there, did you have that welded diff still in place?

i hope that you guys will try and be more careful in the future, and once again, im glad no one got hurt. good luck fixing the car.
