New Guy Checking in
Hey everyone, my name is Joe. I'm pretty new to the whole drifting scene but I'm very interested in getting to know it more. My daily driver is a ford escort, but the car that I play around with is a 1986 Toyota Supra. So far, I have only autocrossed the Supra, but after a bit more practice, I would like to start drifting also. I bought the car this last January and have done quite a bit of work to it to get it into shape for racing. Some of the recent modifications have been new body work and paint job, stripped and painted interior, off brand coilovers in the front and lowering springs in the back, stage 2 carbon Kevlar clutch, complete engine rebuild as well as a new set of rims. My plans for the future include turbo setup, racing seats and a roll cage. Here are a few quick before and after pics. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Welcome! Turbos always seem the best way to go. Thats just my opinion though.

You looking to do an Autocross?? The last club race of the year is this coming weekend (7/31-8/1) but unless you have a competition license and a logbooked car, you'll just be a spectator. Dunno about Auto-x's schedule....
