My first post. yay.
 

ive been checking this website out abit since i plan on turbocharging my 97.
my names robert i live in the dallas area. saw some some japanese cars drifting acouple years back and it was over for me i was hooked so im trying to build up my car now. im working on a web page now, so far ive been budget building. so i will have tutorials coming as soon as i can since ive put in Megan racing coilovers and there doing good. and a project godspeed radiator just installed. getting all the ground work out of the way before i put a turbo in.

so just dropping in to say hi and will have pics and reviews as well as tutorials up hopefully soon. hope to be a great help to anyone so just message me if you have any questions.

We dont like drifting in here. Welcome

i wonder if he knows he can't PM yet.

Welcome NOOB!
Yup, this forum hates fads. We hate wings and neon and spinners and driftzzing. Take it with a grain of salt, it's all good fun... but seriously, we hate you.

Now, be a good NOOB and put your location in your profile and add something useful about your car in your signature like good NOOB's should do every time they join a new forum.

Holla hellaz loud!

drifting is fucking ghey, which probably makes you gay. See you at TMC, lol.

Welcome to the forum. You need a new keyboard, your shift key is broken.

What's wrong with spinners?

Howdy, fellow noob here.

I'm not into drifting myself, but from what I understand it's a lot easier to drift cars with longer wheel bases, and I can attest to the fact that the short wheel base of earlier miatas can make things a little touchy at times. So just out of curiosity, are you using your 97 because it's what you have or what? Seems like it might not be a great platform for the sport.

typical procedure is

dr|ft a miata for a while
trade miata for 240
not come to mt.net anymore

Basically...or drift miata for a while and become a man and start doing track days/racing.

Welcome newb.

I'll go ahead and tell you the secret: the trick to making these things awesome drifting machines is to take of the rear sway bar, completely, now.
