Hi,

Glad to know another drifter, sorry to hijack the thread, just wondering what have you done to your car so far in terms of setting it up for drifting?

Did somebody say NC Drifter? Last night a famous NC drift machine left the display at K1 Speed in Ontario, California.....

And this morning it is....parked OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. They did a lot of drifting with these, but I don't see any changes to steering angle.

Not fair. You now have 2 of 3 existing "NC Lights" in your possession. That's called a monopoly, and I think you should share.

With me. :wink:
