i told you you were a drifter now lol, im not fighting just letting you know i can read people too. thats cool, im acually into drifting and i know you gonna call me out on this one, but i drift civics 88-91 because of there tendency to over steer i had fun doing it so i learnd it, and yes no e-brake even fr e-braking is for beginners to me. ive raced my share of fr in my day and you dont need e-brake. anyway my brother drifts he has 93 240sx and he has come along way kinda good acually. autocross brought me into drifting so thats why i learn, theres always the turnaround at the end of the track, it always was a big turn no matter how the layout was and now matter how much you spent on handling ff will understeer. but a civic if you load the balance by a toe heel into 2nd drifted and you learn how to control it, it worked. my bro drove civics first and learned the same thing, i think thats why he got such good contol now. the 944 yes thats my fave bodystyle for porsche and an sr20 sounds good for the swap, my bro wants to put an rb25 in his 240 i just think sr is fine makes great power that you can use. i know about the pride thing replacing t-belts and such thats why im at a tuning shop not a mechanic shop, my boss has a 99 gtr that i just put some injectors on we tuned it a little to get it to dyno wow its much faster now test drives that go past the 600hp it had before is why i love tuning work, not the change my brakes crap. sounds like you like alot of the oddball stuff like i do keep up the good work

I myself am not a drifter, I like going fast without the whole sideways thing. The track 944 will be my car. A civic with the correct rear sway bar can oversteer, but I would still hesitate to call that a drift I mean even my saab can swing it's rear end out and it looks pretty damn cool, but it's ***-dragging, not drifting IMHO I like 944s cause they're very well balanced cars...the whole engine in the front, tranny in the back idea floats well with me and the SR weighs very close to the stock motor so it's not upsetting that balance. At one point I was seriously considering starting my own shop, but I'm too far into my career to risk it all. Plus I'm pretty sure I'd get fed up wit h it quickly if it grew out of being a hobby.

you are defanitly right, thats why i never made it a career for racing ff or fr, when you get bright down to it drifting is just a byproduct of racing, and ff's are *** dragging. but its all for show anyway there is no speed in it for compition use, unless its an ff at autocross on the big turns, it just wont work at like scca gt style racing, like i say its fun to goof around with. racing is expensive, drifting is stupid expensive, tires, fenders, bumpers, if you mess up big time, the whole damn car!
