Where is "out your way"? I have a felling that it's not much different than here in california. I'm just a big drift fan. 99% of the people here have never heard the term.

Ahh, I see. Well, I know that you guys do have a pretty rapidly growing drift community, actually. I also know that the AE86 (of Initial D fame, although in the "Levin" version) is really popular over there, and there's a huge enthusiast community.

Yeah, the GT Twin Cam pretty much reigns here, though ttrying to find one in good condition that hasn't already been caned is getting harder and harder...
Its mostly JDM grey imports, but the Insurance companies are becoming tougher making them harder to insure. One of my friends was thinking of building a Caterham 7 for drifting, but he's lost interest since getting a house...

heres what i use for my Supra.
AWD
Bearings
Stage 2 Drift motor
3* tie rod
now here's my secret
BLUE springs in the front
RED springs in the rear.
batteries slid to the REAR
this set up provides an extremely agile car if you can use it. i put the stiff springs up front to promote traction on the front wheels and since it is all wheel drive i put the soft springs in the rear to lower traction on that and and transfered the weight to the rear to help in breaking the all wheel drive traction. REALLY great setulp

just a thought on the battery placement... usually if you want LESS traction on the front or rear of a vehicle you make the other side heavier or take weight off the end you want less traction on... for example... if you have a truck that is rwd and have lots of power... you'll burn out all day... no weight in the back... add some weight to the bed... and try it again... tada more traction and you dont break your wheels as easy... so i'd think based on this you'd probably get a lil better traction in the front and less in the rear if you moved the battery pack to the front... but it would also make your car more stable in turns... which isnt what you really want... =P
