I don't deal with setting it up. Usually OE or Dave are in communications with them, so I don't have any dates.

As far as safety goes, we basically follow the drift day regulations.

That would be it for the most part.

Anyone have a drift project car they dont want?! I've always wanted to try this.

Im selling my old supra for like $1300, if I ever get around to taking pictures of it. 5 speed swap, suspension and a little more power, it would be good to go ;).

I'd sell you my RX7 roller fairly cheap. body is SOLID but kind of a mess due to body kit molding my buddy fucked up HORRIBLY. He just used kitty hair and bondo instead of matte so... seriously though, NO rust, 4.10 LSD, 5-speed stuff in tact (clutch pedal and master cylinder...)

All of the factory wiring under the hood is gone though except head lights and what not. Not that you'd want a rotary anyways...

Thanks chase. How do they feel about frame rust? My 240 is basically stock besides coilovers and camber plates. I have also toyed around with sellin it. $800 with stock suspension. $2000 with coilovers. They were approx $1500, so I'm taking a loss

I have a little rust on mine. How bad are we talking though?

If your car breaks in half be prepared to clean it up and get yelled at by those who wait for you :o
