The mods have absolutely nothing to do with making the car drift better (except maybe a few). The ASM car is a time attack car. If anything the mods would result in greater grip and balance, thus making the car worse for drifting.

Stop hating... lets see some videos of you at a track event. Stop putting the OP down he is obviously proud of what he did so be supportive. He didn't state he was the best in the world, this just might have been the best he has done.

But hey since you know it all, we aren't going to be able to tell you anything you don't know.

haha i have videos of me drifting my old 240sx.. hell there were acouple clips of me in a drift demo for nopi about 4 years back that was on speed vision...

http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/f...000/index.html

there try reading that... the electronic steering is and always has been an issue.. if you want to stick up for your buddy go for it.. I didn't make a post trying to call people out saying it takes skills.. it can be done.. I did it.. when people at the event were talking about how the s2ks out there just got tail happy at the exit of the turn.. suspension can be setup for drift or grip.. i am sure that car was not setup for grip only to do that d1 event.. but hey.. if any1 can slap in coilovers and suspension parts like you every1 will have a time attack/drift car..

i swear some s2000 owners are just idiots when it comes to motorsport

oh here is a ariticle that a website did about that demo..
2006 westcoast shotout...

i am all for the s2000 getting up in the drift scene.. but unless there is a fix for some of the issue that people are having with the s2000 drifting it wont be big in the scene... issues that professional drifters cant even over come.. yes you can build a car like RSR.. AEM.. ASM to use for drifting.. but thats a huge project.. for the daily grinders like us its not in our sights yet..

i was on here awhile back with the pipe dream of drifting a s2k.. but to build a car like the RSR car is not within my budget and is a task 2 huge for me..

Wow... You're a joke haha.

Obvioulsy the car was not set up for grip that day, but I can assure you they didn't swap out any major compenents. They obviously used different tires then they would a time attack, but I would be willing to bet ALL suspension compenents stayed on.

Second I never said the EPS wasn't an issue (don't know where you got that). It's kinda common sense the s2000 is not ideal for drifting. (again, no one said it was in the first place to begin with).

Finally the only s2000 owner that looks like an idiot right now is you. Reality check is you're not a famous driver, and no ones ever heard of you.

Also you know nothing about me, or what I know about egineering a cars set up. Next time you're feeling fast come on out to the Redline Time Attack and run with us.

P.S. I don't even know the guy who started this thread, so i'm not just sticking up for a friend. You just put this guy down and made it sound like you were the shit. Which I can assure you you're not.

At the same time from the sounds of it no, he was not drifting. But you didn't have to say it like a dick. Some things are better left unsaid. Support your fellow motorist.

you wanted a video or proof and i provided it.. now you want to claim like i am going around bragging.. ok.. i never claimed to be some famous driver nor do i want to be famou... this is a hobby if i wanted all of that crap i would focus more on it..

i can careless what you run or what you did.. nor did i even ask about you.. so youre right i dont know anuthing about you nor do i care.. you asked me and i showed..

if you know the EPS is a issue why are we having this conversation? you know the EPS is a issue with trying to drift the car.. so what is it? did you want to come in here trying to be a hero to save the day over stuff that you agree with me on? right..

First off you didn't show me anything, your link doesn't work.

That wasn't the point of all this either. Good you have done some track events in the past, I encourage you to do more.

This conversation wasn't about the EPS, it was about you talking down on someone who was trying to drift thier car ( who probably doesn't do it very often) like you set the standard for whats good or not. It's people like you who keep people from wanting to come out and learn to drive in any form of motorsports because they are worried about you putting them down.

I'm done now though because all we have done is **** up HIS thread he made to show us somehting he was proud of. All you had to do was say " Cool man, keep at it you'll get better".

What I was trying to point out had nothing to with what you, I , or he has done. I was trying to point out that your comments were not needed, and all you were doing was putting someone down that you had no business putting down. You should be supporting anyone who shares this passsion with us. Anyone who is into motorsports knows it's tough and takes alot of hard work- I'm a nobody too, so don't take it the wrong way, just be a little easier on the next guy.

1. you weren't there
2. i was able to link 1-2-3 not to 4 though. too much of a stretch.
3. i was hitting secondright as i turned into 1 so when i popped second, i used that to get the tail loose and hold it. no e-braking.
4. i checked the vids and he didn't get the one where i linked all (with the exception of 30 ft. of going straight between 3+4)
5. i was the only s2000 out there. don't know where the second one was... must've been at a different event.

let me guess. your friends had the couch? they did nothing more than boo anyone who wasn't a friend, good or not.
ur nothing but a hater. worst s2ki member.

btw, not bad for a first timer. i think i did better than most of the 300zx/240/rx7 guys that grip most of it, and they have been going for months.
