yeah.. i hope to join you all too.. but i have to get an E.P car first. Had a short drift session last night/this morning. Why I say this morning is because we were on the "track" from 10 o clock till 2 in the morning. hehehe.. Some stupid things happened Al's Tx/Rx problem.. I lost my air filter after my car flipped (hit a piece of wood at full speed) and a funny story involving my shirt. It was a fun night out and it was an awesome feeling to drift on a GP car (hear the revving d**n syiok!). Hope that spot can become a regular spot.

If you got standard rims, You'll have to reduce the outter lips (OL) of the rim by about 1 mm, then squeeze the OL into the PVC until it butts against the inner lip. A lathe would help immensely to reduce the OL, otherwise a tyre trurer could be used, last resort is to sand it by hand.

I never help much lah. Just some comments here and there only... Anyway, don't be afraid to drift even when you suck at it and when there are a lot of people. Everyone has to start somewhere right? All the experts out there have also walked past your stage. What really matters is you enjoy drifting! BTW, thanks Rick for the ride home. ;D
