Checking out tons of cool drift cars in Japan, piloted by amazing drivers, including d1 and d1sl cars.... I noticed a lot of them where less modified than our local proam cars. Zero tube fronts, mechanical clutch fans, no motor swaps, stock transmissions, no tube rears, no fuel cells, no real cages, all were cusco. All of them were factory wiring harnesses, power fc were the most aggressive ecu. It was pretty interesting. They have the added benefit of having their cars come from the factory with the correct motors in them which seams to really simplify their ricing. Even the majority of their knuckle setups were not as aggressive as ours, and their cars were not super low.

What they did do is drive a LOT. Their tiny tracks don't seem to eat tires that fast ( Meihan is unbelievably small! ) and their cars are made of simple off the shelf stuff. Maybe that helps them drive more, I am not sure, but they don't seem to do the year long build up for cars that aren't top tier, it is more like bolt in your cage and move your parts over if you wreck your car.

Also, there aren't many shade tree mechanics, everyone takes their cars to shops for work, which might also keep their cars from getting too crazy.

Nakamuras car for example has less craftsmanship than literally ANY car in our series, but he drifts like an animal and is know world wide!

These are just some things I noticed on my trip.

Oh, and I can't believe Japan has any Silvia's left! This weekend at Meihan we saw so many novice drivers wreck their cars into stuff for no apparent reason! Te really good guys don't wreck even in aggressive tandem, but the novices destroyed half a dozen cars to the point they are pretty much done for the street.

So I passed my ASE recirtification tests today, well 3 of them at least. The rest expire some time next year, and I have a few years on my L1 still. I may be changing positions at work though, I think I'm gonna go into sales and should be able to work my way into a service manager spot within a year. I know there's a few people in the automotive bizz on here, any input? Right now I'm lead tech at a Firestone, but am getting tired of wrenching but wanna stay in the business and with the company. I figured there's a lot of room for growth on the front side of the shop. Any service writers/managers on here or are we all techs? lol
joshg51
I'm a tech lol

mk3f.t.w.

joshg51
neat little game that lets you build s chassis cars and they keep adding more parts to it, wheels and suspension are fully adjustable so all these have the front bumper on the ground and two are tucking rim.
