<\/strong>16,542 miles. I’m back from Drift Day 8. At this drift day I was babysitting the skid pad and one of the intermediate courses. I tried out my new tire set-up…Yokohama AVS Sports<\/a> in the front, and Yokohama AVS DB’s<\/a> in the rear…LOVED it. When you’re a beginner like me you need that break-it-loose-easy set up AKA sticky in the front, slippery in the back, and I acheived it. The Sports & the DBs were consistent all day and didn’t get too slippery when they heated up. On the skid pad the DBs smoked crazy, at one point I lost myself in the smoke. I’m going to keep this set-up for a while.<\/p>\n

Before Drift Day I went to KAAZ<\/a> and replaced the old viscous LSD with my new\/used (Benson’s old KAAZ) 2-way LSD. Ray & Saji at KAAZ were nice enough to put my Tanabe rear subframe spacers<\/a> in as well. I love those things, they’re blue!! Its a set of 8 and they’re made out of this really cool nylon & glass fiber mix. Metal spacers are the shape of a “C” and are known to be harsh sounding & feeling, but these are perfect circles and the sound is subtle. They make it easier to oversteer and guide my car. Benson loves them too, too bad I jacked him.<\/p>\n

I got my oil changed at Gushi Auto, I have to make a note of that, change it again Nadine next month. I’ll be heading up to Las Vegas for SEMA & Drift Day 9<\/a>. Also, registration is opening up for the Nissan Owners Festival<\/a>, have you signed up!? Everyone who is anyone is showing up to this major all-Nissan event. On a further note, my wheels have not left Japan and nor has my new cute aero goodie. Wish them a safe journey home.<\/p>\n

And lastly, where are all the girls at!? If you’re a girl (or a guy who knows a girl) interested in drifting, please let me know<\/a>. I have some big plans for girl drifting in 04 and would like to hear from you! Take care guys and future girl drifters, see ya at Vegas!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
