All hail the drift king!



And today also marks the official start of my search for a decent AE86 which will hopefully provide me with a few years of sideways fun.

soon... :D

Cool cars, most definitely, 'dem Hachi-Rokus. I still think you should look for a 200SX too, but that's just the Nissan freak inside of me...

Nice car, just don't rice it like this pufta at my school has.
It has much potential though.

Also I'm sorry but drift king is a name reserved for my car, :D,
its all the drifters fav, and it loves hangin its ass out. :cool:

HA!
We all know who started the movement and who still rules it :D


And Mike, yeah, I know :) But if you get a 200SX, don't be crying when I waste your ass in the curves.

Bring it, biyaaaaatch! My 200SX WILL have some sort of forced induction working for it... that much I promise :)

Rokus may "have taste", but I bet that the 200SX is phatter, if not quite "hella cool"...

Just one thing, 'quite' and 'hella cool' go together like apple pie and garlic bread :)

hey... I'm a ghetto nerd

The Regina kind...


but back to AE86s:

I just wish they weren't selling for so much $$$$. Damn you Initial D, damn you!

Lol, it's only a matter of time after someone mentions the AE86 till someone brings up Initial D.

Because I hate the show to no end :)

I have one of the movies on my hard drive, I haven't watched it or any of the rest of the series.

I don't care for the style in which they did the races... the CGI really didn't mesh well.

Hey I was just watching Initial D today... It kicks ass!

Anyway my friend hella wants and AE86, but has trouble finding a decent one.

sooner or later they are gonna show Initial D on cartoon network...DAMN!!! i gotta get this thing before that!!
everyone's trying to be like takumi...

i love the ae86, but i think if i was goin to get a drifting car i'd have to go for something in the silvia family, or maybe a rwd skyline.

Yeah, that's why I've decided to buy one now and not next summer...by then the prices will double once again :( Funny thing is that I don't even like drifting. Oversteer=good, drifting=bad :D

Dude, regardless of how you feel about drifting, when you get that car, we are going out to Kananaskis Country on the road by Elbow Falls :D

Well, that's a given :)

But I'm still not into drifting
(watch me change my mind first time the rear steps out :D)

You said it dude... the first time your rear end sneezes out of line, you're gonna go opposite-lock and hammer on the gas :)

Jesus, not a single AE86 for sale in the south Alberta :(

Heh, Mike:
1987 NISSAN 200SX, body mint cond., loaded,
needs engine, $550. 382-7680 eves.
'needs engine' :)

Ya I hate drifting to, seems real ricey. But as soon as I floored the Silvia in the corner I had a smile from ear to ear, it was almost a better drifter then my Skyline was. :)

What the hell is this Initial D stuff anyway? Is it a drift cartoon or something?

i think drifting is only ricey when its done the cheap way, with the hand brake. any other way i htink is a very difficult technique to master so i dont think that it is ricey.

Cartoon Network sucks a male camel's spermy dick... you'd be hard pressed to find more bastardized variations of anime, excluding the utterly horrible jobs done on public television.

yea they change ****in everything. its upseting

dragon balls (not Z)...
cowboy bepop
gundam wing
gundam
8th ms team
tenchi muyo
they screwed up all these cartoons

how is drifting ricey? is simply a method to get around a corner faster

King Tut, Initial D is basically a show about a guy drifting his AE86. There's lots of other crap going on, like finding more about himself through his car and whatever. But what it comes down to, drifting AE86s :) I personally hate the show (along with 99% other anime). I won't go into details why, but I can say that I grew up in a much different environment and just cannot imagine real characters acting the way they do in the show.

Anyways, the problem with this show is that every kid who sees it wants an AE86. So, the prices have tripled over the last few years. So, if you want an AE86, buy it now because by the time the show hits north america, it's gonna be too late :)

Also, if anybody hasn't seen it and wants to, you can download a few episodes at:

LanEvo, drifting is not the fastest way around a corner, that's for sure. It was basically developed by rally racers because they didn't have much choice but to drift, but drifting on tarmac is far from the best or the fastest way around any corner.

...although it is quite fun :)

it is faster IF you can do everything right, obviously not in like a real race or whatever because many things like tire damages are concerned

lan evo its dragon ball not balls, another series is dragon ball z , and yet another is dragon ball gt

i mean like the original dragon ball is cool...but then the z series and gt kinda sux...i don't care if cartoon network show them or not

ae86 is badass...its the true drift king

drifting is not ricey...the real ricers WISH they could drift...most people think that its sliding your tail around a corner...hahaha, its making progress around a corner with your rear wheels intentionally not having any grip, car going sideways (yet progressing) very hard to master...

Update on my car search...saw one AE86, totally rusted and ****ed, the guy wants $850Cdn. It's cheap, but it's really not worth the time and effort of restoring. Saw one MR2, for $3000cdn, seems like a very cool car (but 3 spoke rims :rolleyes: ), I'll drive it later today. Might end up buying it. Rebuilt engine, paing looks great, good interior, new clutch, new brakes.

AE86=200SX right?

nope
AE86 is corolla gts

ae86= sidways fun.

and proves that quartermile and 0-60 isn't everything

Drove the silver MR2, drives really nice but I could hear one of the valves even in the cockpit :( It's being auctioned tomorrow, so I might get it if I could get it for $1500 or so.
Checked out another MR2, red, 200k km, $2400, a bit rusty, the interior isn't too bad, but it's not good either...but the engine is totally ****ed. It would pretty much choke until about 5000rpm, then it launches like it should. And they guy kept on telling me that's normal :(

Glad to see the search for a Jetta replacement is going well dude :)

No wonder I didn't see you in Statics today :D

i agree AE86 (esp. the GT-apex version) was the real drift king. we got lots of the here, priced roughly around 8-10k depending on the type and year. quite expensive by US standard i think...

oh sweeet! i have a friend that is a girl that drives one, 16 and her pops bought her a GT-S as her first car. i love it!!! looks great! it's Rally Blue or watever...HOT CAR!

Persid, here's your car...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=598149282&r=0&t=0

:D

LOL, I can't believe any car can look that bad after only 80k :)

"The main problem is the body is shot, I don’t think there is one good body panel on this car"

Oh my... if I owned that car, I would just put it out of its' misery. I think I'd go to a wet parking lot, stand on the gas, crank the wheel and keep going until it blew up...

hell yea i want one

So Persid... how has the carhunting gone? Are you now a proud Mr. 2 owner?

Nah, I checked out one more on Friday but the owner was an ass and I wouldn't buy anything from him. Then it started snowing so I packed it up until next Thursday. I've decided to check out at least 10-15 cars before buying one...don't wanna waste this money since I'm not going to have this much for a long long time :)

Also, I'm still leaning more toward an AE86, if I can find a decent one.

yea if the owners an ass the car probably is too

True...he was one of those "I just got offered $5000cdn, but I'll give it to you for $1800cdn" kind of people. Does he really think I would believe that kind of crap?

what year is the AE86 in north america?
i no that it was made in '83 and '85 in japan

The RWD AE86 GTS was made from 85 to 87. Only three years. After that they started making the FWD AE92s.

Spent whole day yesterday downloading and watching Initial D.....pretty good series......do you know anywhere I can find download for Stage 2 Episodes?

This is the only place that I know of that has any episodes at all:
http://209.196.27.67/initiald.html

It used to have all from #3 on, but now it has from #10 on.

I have the entire series plus both movies (yes i am being cocky:D)

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1488032665
Whole set for about $100us. It shows up at ebay often.

Dude, where ya been the last while? I haven't seen you at school for a while...

Oh man, don't ask. I usually show up for 221 in the morning and then study for most of the rest of the day :)

I'll be in statics tomorrow for sure, so I'll see ya there.

it shouldn't be as expensive as that even on ebay
i don't know how to do it...
i have the series in DVD, and the movies in VCD

Just another car buying update...checked out one more MR2, didn't like it (too rusted, engine ****ed). What's with MR2s and bad engines? :(

But, I also checked out a 86' RX7 with a recently (11 months ago) rebuilt engine, new clutch, 2 sets of tires, some easily fixable rust on the doors...the guy was asking $3000cdn, I offered $2300, he said $2500 but I wouldn't go up that high. Anyways, I left him my number so he'll call me tomorrow if he decides to let it go for $2300. So, looks like this is the one :D

The Rex is nice? Good to hear dude... if it's meant to be, I hope it works out for you...

Heh, he just gave me a call...$2300 it is :cool:

I'll pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

nice

coo man. Be sure to tell us about it.

raaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhsssstaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhfaa aaaaaaaaaarrrrrriiiiiiiiiiii

AWESOME! Dude, I can't wait to see it. Can I get a ride in it after Statics on Tuesday?

Hopefully I'll get it insured and everything by then...if not, then by Wednesday at the latest.

Mecca, you happy now? :)


I'll take some pics tomorrow and get them developed on tuesday to post them.

Ok, went to visit my insurance company this morning, the rate won't change at all with the new car. So, at least that's good.

Now all that is left is to pick it up...and pay :D

look wut i found:

Stop before you make Goran second-guess himself and back out of buying the RX-7! :)

Dammit... now I want an AE86 too...

LOL, too late for second-guessing now Mike...it's all done. The car is parked behind my building. I'll show it to ya tomorrow after school :)
