i think he can drift it, cuz if he has that money just to have that car like that, then he has money to fix it if it crashes or brakes down, but thats just me

Sweet car,Im jealous I love FD's. Take it to a track, alot safer than the road. FD's look better without spoilers...IMO.

There is absolutly no reason to drift that FD. With a car look'n like that you already have major pull with the females! Is this your "daily" or "weekend worrior" If you get it out to the track once in a while that would be cool, but if you do have an itch to drift, maybe explore adding an FC3S to your garage.

Very nice FD. Makes me miss my old one. But it's all good. And I can understand what you mean about not wanting to drift it. My old FD died at a drift day. But now I have an FC that I actually prefer for drifting. But God, nothing looks as good as an FD. Nice car bro.

nicely done......u dont have to worry about crashing it if your in a drift event parking lot.....as long as u know the basics, the worst that can happen is probably spinning out...close to the wall or fence?....lol.....but i understand where your coming from.....u only live once...so just drift it!!!!

actually i'll probably be at drift day.. but for another reason.. rc drift competition sponsored by falken.. whoever wins gets free tires.. yes!!!

i wont be bringing the FD tho.. i'll be in santa barbara for work ( live in san diego) so i'll be driving a rental all the way down to fontana.

the wing is made by FEED.. its been on the car for several years now.

yeah.. not that many yellows.. only 350 competition yellow micas were ever imported.

the car is more responsive with it and you can run the car without any cats with the pfc.. the stock computer cant handle a free flow system.

i like it because i can also control the boost of the turbos so i dont need another boost controller.

the commander portion is also a nice touch because you can monitor up to 8 parameters at once on the screen.

i usually monitor 4.. boost, water temp, inj duty, and intake air temps.

you need a professional to program it or at least someone who knows what they are doing to fiddle with it.

one wierd quirk is that the A/C no longer works when you put it in a FD.. there's some Do-it-yourself fixes around that tho.

i've had two pfc's on the two FD's ive owned and im pretty happy with them.
