BTW.. I see another Ti everyday. One of my neighbors has one. Of course I also see several 240's, 300's, and 350's everyday. Even a right hand drive silvia. | I see a Ti about once a week, but i see bimmers EVERYWHERE (espec. 3 series), and i see alot of ///M3's and 5's here too, bunch a rich peoples |  |  | | 06-20-2006, 03:06 AM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Madison, WI Posts: 121 |

the ti is absolutely wonderful for drifting, even with the 'low power' production of the m42/44. i've got an m3 lightweight flywheel/clutch, with debaffled airbox, and the power produced with this and tokico shocks/ h&r sport springs/ and m3 x-brace is amazing for inducing and sustaining a power slide. the nearly 50/50 weight distribution makes it almost light switch easy to induce under or oversteer; and the steering ration makes it exceptionally easy to control what you're looking for.
i.e. - drift to your heart's content with the ti, it's one of the most forgiving platforms to explore on. | | | | | 06-20-2006, 07:24 AM | #24 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Chicago Posts: 31 |

just for the record the 240sx engines that the americna market had were ****. The same cars here came with a CA18DET for the s13 200sx and the s14 200sx came with the SR20DET.
For some reason performance cars are STILL watered down for the american market. At least they sell the Evo!! __________________

Also, you can walk into a motorcycle dealership and buy a Hayabusa as a first bike and ride away. __________________

+1 on the stupidity (insurance). My insurance company is pretty strict and has a extremely long list of cars they wont insure if the driver is under 18. You can be insured on a V6 accord but not a Mitsu 3000GT even though the honda is faster. __________________

i owned an s13 for about 2 years. the ti is a much better car, all around. my m42 is chipped but with the right driving, the back end will swing out with no problem. and yet i can push it through corners as hard as i want without oversteering as well.... its just how you drive. i came into a corner really fast(on purpose of course....kind of showing off ) and understeered so i let off for a second then punched it and the back end came out nice.... but then swung around a bit far and i almost spun but eventually i got it straight. corner was a bit wet so i didnt expect that much of a drift really. im not necessarily into drifting but its fun occasionally... | | | | | |
